The Plateau State chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has pledged total allegiance to what it calls the most formidable political coalition in the nation’s history, gearing up for the 2027 general election.
Speaking during a press briefing on Sunday in Jos, ADC Plateau leaders said the new alliance reflects widespread public frustration over the worsening economic climate and failed governance, calling it a “peaceful political revolution” in the making.
The State Publicity Secretary of the party, Silas Audu declared that the current socio-political landscape demands a credible alternative, and the ADC stands ready to fill that gap.
“Nigerians are now pushed to the wall due to the unpopular policies of this current government. This coalition is unlike the one we saw in 2013. It is the biggest and most powerful political alignment ever seen in Nigeria, and it shows the people’s hunger for real democratic change,” he said.
He reaffirmed the ADC’s longstanding presence in the political arena, highlighting its consistent commitment to internal democracy since its registration in 2003. Wettok emphasized that the party is actively inviting patriotic Nigerians to join its mission of national renewal.
As part of a broader restructuring move to fortify the coalition’s momentum ahead of 2027, he. announced the dissolution of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) by the ADC’s national leadership.
The directive comes with a shift in command, as all decisions are now to come from the Interim National Chairman, Senator David Mark, and Interim National Secretary, Raul Aregbesola.
Despite national changes, he confirmed that the Plateau State ADC structures remain intact, with Honourable Samuel Pam Gyang recognised as the legitimate state chairman. He made it clear that the party has a functioning leadership in all 17 local government areas, with tenures running through 2026.
The press conference also served as a platform to address recent internal disputes and misinformation.
The ADC issued a stern warning to those trying to destabilise the coalition with fake news and leadership confusion.
Specifically, the party distanced itself from social media claims by Mrs. Hanatu Gagara, clarifying that she remains the Women Leader and not the Plateau State Chairman.
“The authentic chairman of ADC in Plateau is Hon. Samuel Pam Gyang. Any contrary information is false and misleading,” he stressed.
He praised Aregbesola’s prompt action in dispelling a falsified list of party chairmen circulating online, which he said was an orchestrated effort to derail the coalition’s growing unity.
The publicity Secretary reiterated the ADC’s unwavering stance on lawful political engagement and said the party would not be distracted by what he described as “bad eggs” attempting to sabotage Nigeria’s march toward credible leadership.
“This is an unstoppable movement. And those trying to derail it will not succeed,” he added.
