The National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, David Mark, on Wednesday revealed what he described as the real challenge confronting the opposition party ahead of the 2027 elections.
Mark said the ADC’s major challenge was to build a united political platform capable of winning elections in 2027.
Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, the former Senate President acknowledged that the party’s recently concluded primaries had produced winners as well as grievances among members.
He said, “Our recently concluded primaries produced winners, but they also produced disappointments and grievances. These are realities we must acknowledge and address.
“An election may determine who carries the flag, but it must never determine who belongs to the party. Those who do not emerge victorious remain valuable members of the ADC. Their experiences, net worth, commitment and structures remain important assets.
“Those who emerge victorious must recognise that victory comes with responsibility. It’s not a licence to exclude, humiliate or marginalise others.
“Our real challenge is not the ADC members who contested against you. Our real challenge is to build a united political platform capable of winning the confidence of Nigerians in 2027.
“This is why the National Working Committee has established this committee in accordance with the constitution of the ADC.”
