The National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Senator David Mark, speaking at the national opposition summit held in Ibadan, Oyo State

The National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress, David Mark, has said millions of Nigerians who are frustrated by “worsening economic hardship and insecurity” are searching for a credible political alternative ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Mark, a former Senate President, said the growing disillusionment among citizens presented a major opportunity for the ADC to position itself as a viable platform capable of offering practical solutions to the country’s challenges.

Speaking at the party’s National Executive Committee meeting on Saturday in Abuja, Mark urged party leaders, elected officials, state chairmen and stakeholders not to squander what he described as a rare political moment in the country’s democratic journey.

He stressed the need for discipline, internal democracy, and institutional strengthening, warning that the ADC must avoid the mistakes that have weakened many opposition parties in the past.
