ADC to host National Support Groups Summit in Abuja

Africa, Politics

Abuja, Nigeria (NPA) — March 9, 2026 — The African Democratic Congress (ADC), one of Nigeria’s major opposition parties, has announced plans to convene its All National Support Groups Summit on March 10, 2026, at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja.

The announcement was made in a statement issued on Monday by the Summit Committee Chairman, Comrade Inetianbor. The statement confirmed that the event will be organised through the office of the party’s National Youth Leader (Female).

The ADC has positioned the summit as part of its broader strategy ahead of the 2027 general elections. The party has outlined its vision to build a strong ideological base, empower marginalised groups—including women, youths, persons with disabilities, and diaspora communities—while promoting transparency and accountability in governance.

According to the party, its mission is to reengineer Nigeria’s political system by reducing the dominance of elites, “money bags,” and political godfathers. It also aims to consolidate democracy beyond flawed elections and rhetoric, with the long-term goal of building a resilient economy supported by strong institutions.

If successful in 2027, the ADC pledges to pursue inclusive governance, grassroots empowerment, and economic diversification through agriculture, renewable energy, and technology. Analysts note, however, that the party’s ability to achieve these ambitions will depend on maintaining its ideological independence while navigating Nigeria’s coalition-driven political landscape.
