Owing to the recent unanimous decision taken by the leadership of Nigeria's apex electoral empire, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), to officially and formally recognize the new leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) two months after a coalition of opposition parties adopted the platform and assumed control of its structures.
The development has generated a lots of positive feedback and reactions among party loyalists and supporters across the country with the latest one emanating from the persons with disabilities (PWDs) ADC support group known as "ADC PWDs Support Group" Gombe State chapter, an umbrella political group comprising different clusters of PWDs including the Deaf, Blind, Physically challenged citizens of Gombe State lead by Comrade Ali Isah Ya'u
Reacting to the news of INEC's recognition of the party's leadership, Ya'u expressed great joy and relaxation - hoping that such recognition of the party's leadership which comes after weeks of backstabbing by some aggreaved party members as well as some political jobbers who are out to cause confusion and internal crisis in the party, would now put to the dustbin all the unnecssary smashing and hustility against the party leadership, he said
He commended the INEC's hirachy for demonstrating enough maturity and understanding in handling the issue.
"We applauded the INEC's leadership for discharging their duties properly without being partisan"
"The entire persons with disabilities supporters of our great party, the ADC are deeply excited about the new development and we will remain committed, resolute and supportive to the party to achieve its lofty objectives of dethroning the ruling APC out of power comes 2027 by the grace of God" he added
A glance at the INEC’s official website revealed that the commission had already updated the party’s leadership details to reflect Senator David B. Mark as National Chairman, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola as National Secretary, Dr Mani Ibrahim Ahmad as National Treasurer, Akibu Dalhatu as National Financial Secretary, and Prof. Oserhiemen Aigberaodion Osunbor as National Legal Adviser among others who are duly recognized as the party national executive members.
This brings more credence and legitimacy to the coalition of opposition forces, championed by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar alongside other prominent politicians who thronged together to formally adopted the ADC as a common platform to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general election.
