The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has urged its presidential aspirants, party leaders and members across the country to embrace unity, discipline and peaceful conduct ahead of the party’s presidential primaries scheduled for today, Monday.
In a statement issued on Sunday in Abuja, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, described the forthcoming exercise as a defining democratic moment for both the ADC and Nigerians seeking a credible political alternative ahead of the 2027 elections.
The opposition party said it remained proud of its commitment to democratic principles and open primaries.
“The ADC remains proud to stand today as the only truly democratic party in Nigeria, because it is the only political party whose choice of presidential candidate is determined through open primaries,” the statement read.
According to the party, the conduct of aspirants and party members before, during and after the exercise would reflect the type of political culture the ADC seeks to promote.
The ADC appealed to aspirants, delegates, supporters and party faithful to conduct themselves responsibly throughout the process.
“We therefore urge all aspirants, their supporters, delegates, and party faithful to conduct themselves peacefully, responsibly, and with dignity throughout the process,” Abdullahi stated.
“This election must reflect the values we claim to represent as a party committed to transparency, internal democracy, national unity, and the rule of law.”
The party acknowledged that disagreements and competition are natural features of democratic politics but stressed that the broader mission of rebuilding Nigeria must take priority.
“At the end of this exercise, there will be no winners or losers within the ADC family,” the statement added.
“The ultimate objective is to emerge stronger, more united, and fully prepared to offer Nigerians the competent and credible leadership they deserve.”
The ADC also assured members that all necessary arrangements had been concluded to guarantee a free, fair and transparent presidential primary.
The party urged members to rise above personal interests and protect the integrity of the process.
“History will judge us, not merely by who emerges as candidate, but by how we conduct ourselves in this defining moment,” the statement concluded.
