This declaration was made during the party’s 89th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held Thursday in Abuja, where plans were also unveiled to hold congresses leading up to its national convention.
ADC National Chairman, Dr. Ralphs Okey Nwosu, announced his decision to step down, assuring party members of his continued support for the party’s growth.
Chairman of the party’s Board of Trustees (BoT), Dr. Ibrahim Ahmed Mani, described the development as a “defining moment” in the party’s history, crediting the integration of new stakeholders and grassroots movements for the ADC’s transformation.
“Our consensus-building journey has been painstaking, but today, by the grace of God, the ADC is the coalition party in Nigeria,” Dr. Mani said, urging patriotic Nigerians to join the “new crusade” for democratic change.
He lamented worsening socio-economic conditions, noting that an estimated five million Nigerians fall into poverty annually due to bad governance. He stressed that only the participation of competent, committed citizens in politics could reverse this trend.
Reaffirming the party’s commitment to a united and prosperous Nigeria, Dr. Mani said: “This vision has always been the hallmark of the ADC.”
