Founding National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Ralph Nwosu, has announced a major shake-up within the party, revealing that its leadership has voluntarily resigned to pave the way for new figures to take charge.
Speaking at a high-profile event on Wednesday at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre in Abuja, Nwosu said the move was part of efforts to reposition the ADC as a credible political platform for a new opposition coalition ahead of the 2027 general elections.
According to him, the transition is designed to allow former Senate President David Mark and former Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola to assume critical leadership roles within the party and the broader coalition.
“We all decided to resign so that Mark, Aregbesola and others can lead us to the Villa,” Nwosu stated, underscoring the strategic nature of the decision.
He further confirmed that the party leadership unanimously endorsed both men for top roles in the evolving political formation.
“We also approved Mark as National Chairman and Aregbesola as the National Secretary of the party. When you look at the two of them and their commitment to this country, you’ll see that this is a new beginning. They will reposition the party and Nigeria,” Nwosu added.
