“Do Not Fail Nigerians”: David Mark Rallies ADC for 2027, Addresses Economic Crisis

ADC National Chairman David Mark has sent a stern message to party members: the ADC must become a formidable platform for the 2027 elections or risk failing a nation in desperate need of an alternative.

Speaking at the party’s NEC meeting in Abuja, Mark painted a bleak picture of Nigeria’s current state, highlighting the devastating impact of insecurity and the rising cost of living on ordinary families. However, he clarified that the ADC’s mission is not to capitalize on national pain, but to offer a path toward economic and security stability.

Key takeaways from his address:

  • The Mission: Position the ADC as the go-to alternative for the 2027 polls.

  • The Stance: The party refuses to profit politically from the current hardships facing Nigerians.

  • Internal Unity: Mark emphasized that personal ambition must take a backseat to party cohesion, promising that internal grievances from recent primaries will be settled through proper dialogue and constitutional procedures.

Option 3: Formal/Executive Summary

ADC Leadership Emphasizes Accountability and Strategic Positioning for 2027

In a recent address to the National Executive Committee, ADC National Chairman David Mark outlined a vision for the party centered on national service and internal cohesion. Reflecting on Nigeria’s prevailing socio-economic challenges—specifically insecurity and economic instability—Mark asserted that the ADC must distinguish itself as a responsible opposition.

The Chairman reiterated that the party’s objective is to provide relief and credible leadership, rather than seeking political advantage from the current national distress. To achieve this, he emphasized the necessity of internal unity and the resolution of primary-related disputes through formal party mechanisms. Mark urged members to foster a culture of dialogue, ensuring that collective interests remain the priority as the party prepares for the next general election cycle.

Chelle, who also supervises the Olympic Eagles, will be unavailable for Nigeria’s two-legged U-23 AFCON qualifying tie against the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo) because both teams have matches scheduled during the same international window.

Meanwhile, Chelle has selected 23 players for the Super Eagles’ AFCON qualifying matches against Tanzania. Among the notable inclusions are Brighton forward Zadok Yohanna and Molde FC midfielder Daniel Daga.

Fayose had taken to social media to question the gathering, describing it as a waste of time and expressing doubts about the number of people who attended the event.

Responding in the comment section of the post, Seyi urged the businessman to conduct himself properly instead of criticising the group’s activities.

He defended the Port Harcourt walk, describing it as a successful and peaceful gathering organised by young Nigerians in support of President Tinubu and his administration.

Seyi wrote: “My content creator Egbon e behave ara yin o. You and I both know that those gallant men and women were there for the city boy walk in PH, which was a success by the way. Vote APC.”

In a related development, Fayose has alleged that he is being targeted with false accusations because of his support for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

The younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, made the allegation in a video shared on his verified Facebook page on Sunday.

He was reacting to a post by an unnamed blogger linking him to a rape allegation, which he denied, describing it as a fabrication intended to damage his reputation because of his refusal to withdraw support for Obi.

Fayose further alleged that individuals who turn down offers from the All Progressives Congress (APC) are often subjected to smear campaigns.
