The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, explained that the committee will establish offices at state, local government, ward, and unit levels while promoting awareness and engagement with the public. Abdullahi emphasised the ADC’s commitment to justice, equity, and transparency, which he described as central to the party’s approach to politics.
“The important thing is that we in ADC are very clear that the problem Nigeria has today is as a result of the kind of politics we have played over the years,” Abdullahi said.
“If you are going to set Nigeria on a different trajectory and make politics work for the people, we have to play a different type of politics.”
Abdullahi criticised the current administration’s performance in Delta State, citing the lack of development despite the state’s resources.
“So you ask yourself, ‘Delta is one of the most resourced states in Nigeria, why has it remained like this?’ It means the government has not worked for the people,” he added.
The ADC leadership framed the initiative not only as a political campaign but also as a national rescue effort aimed at providing ordinary Nigerians with a platform to participate meaningfully in governance. Abdullahi positioned the party as the credible opposition capable of delivering change in Delta State.
National Chairman Senator David Mark, represented at the event by Mr Babachir Lawal, outlined expectations for the newly inaugurated Transition Management Committee.
He stressed adherence to the ADC Constitution, warned against corruption and ticket-trading, and commended Delta leaders for their commitment to the party.
National Vice Chairman (South-South), Usani Uguru Usani, urged members in the Niger Delta to remain resolute and not allow past political experiences to instil fear.
