The African Democratic Congress (ADC) is stepping forward with a renewed vision to reshape Nigeria’s political landscape. In a week of significant announcements, the party unveiled comprehensive reforms, innovative initiatives, and collaborative strategies aimed at restoring public trust, empowering new leaders, and unifying the nation in preparation for the 2027 general elections. From progressive constitutional amendments to the launch of a Digital Political Academy and merger discussions with like-minded parties, ADC is signaling its evolution from a political contender to a national movement for transformation.
ADC Amends Constitution to Attract Dynamic Leadership
During a significant National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held in Abuja, the National Chairman of ADC, Chief Ralphs Nwosu, revealed an important constitutional change: the elimination of the two-year membership requirement for those wishing to run for office or take on roles in party leadership.
This change removes long-standing obstacles to participation and welcomes capable Nigerians, regardless of their previous political backgrounds, who are prepared to lead with integrity and a focus on service.
“We are removing institutional barriers because Nigeria cannot afford to delay,” Nwosu stated. “The urgency of our national challenges requires us to open up opportunities for patriotic, skilled leaders without hesitation. ADC is the platform for that.”
This amendment is not just a procedural change; it is strategic. By inviting new vitality into its ranks, ADC is making a bold declaration: the future of leadership must be accessible, inclusive, and attuned to Nigeria’s urgent priorities.
The National Symbolic Handshake Initiative of Unity
To further promote national healing and reconciliation, ADC announced a new annual tradition, the National Handshake, which will be observed every October 1st, Nigeria’s Independence Day. This initiative aims to transcend political, ethnic, and religious divides by introducing a cultural practice that symbolizes mutual respect and unity among Nigeria's populace.
“The handshake is not just a symbol; it is a covenant,” Chief Nwosu said. “It represents a national commitment to rebuild trust, restore hope, and reaffirm our shared destiny.” In a political landscape often marked by polarization and division, this Handshake Initiative reaffirms ADC’s commitment to dialogue, solidarity, and a collective national purpose.
