David Mark Outlines New Direction For ADC

The Interim National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and former Senate President, David Mark, says the party is determined to redefine opposition politics in Nigeria through discipline, integrity, and competence.

Speaking at the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) meeting, Mark said the ADC’s vision was to build a political movement “bigger than any personality and stronger than any moment,” stressing that the goal was to prove Nigeria could truly work for everyone.

“We begin with a conviction that Nigeria can, and will, work for everyone, and with a commitment to build a party bigger than any personality, stronger than any moment and positively different from any party in the annals of our country,” he stated.

Mark, who recently took over as interim leader of the ADC, explained that the party’s operations would be anchored on four values.

“Our leadership standard is non-negotiable: character, competence, courage, and discipline. These four pillars will guide our choices, shape our culture, and anchor our performances,” he said.

According to him, these principles would shape the ADC’s internal culture and set it apart from other political parties.

Mark stressed that accountability, transparency, and service would define the party’s culture and governance.

“What makes the ADC different is simple, we will be a party of purpose and determination, not impulses,” he said.

“We will be an institution that champions democratic values and a culture of accountability and responsibility across its organs and in every government it forms.”

The former Senate President said Nigeria’s challenges could still be addressed with the right leadership and disciplined governance.

“We begin with a conviction that Nigeria can, and will, work for everyone,” he reiterated.

“We are committed to proving that with the right leadership, this country can rise again and deliver on its promise of equity and progress.”

Mark described the ADC as a Pan-African, people-oriented party designed to serve all categories of citizens, especially vulnerable groups.

“We are sensitive to the needs of the poor and the young, women and men, persons with disabilities, workers, peasants, entrepreneurs, retirees, civil society, and the vulnerable,” he explained.

“We will convert empathy into policy, and policy into results.”

He further noted that the ADC would prioritize grassroots inclusion, social welfare, and economic empowerment, stressing that the mission was to make governance about service, not self-interest.
