The newly appointed National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), David Mark, has admitted that the mission to unseat President Bola Tinubu in 2027 will be a difficult one. However, he affirmed the coalition’s readiness to make the necessary sacrifices for the sake of Nigeria’s survival and future.

Speaking on Wednesday at the Yar’Adua Centre in Abuja during the unveiling of the ADC as the official platform for the 2027 opposition coalition, Mark stated:

“This coalition is not merely about gaining power; it is about rebuilding and restoring Nigeria.
We are fully aware that this journey will not be easy. But we are prepared to take it on as a duty to our nation.
Our goal is to stop Nigeria’s steady slide into a one-party state.”

Mark and former Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola, were introduced at the event as the ADC’s interim National Chairman and National Secretary, respectively. Their emergence follows the resignation of founding chairman Ralph Nwosu and other key party officers, paving the way for the coalition’s leadership to assume control of the party structure.

He further noted:

“The deliberate destabilisation and infiltration of opposition parties is clearly intended to achieve total state capture, leaving Nigerians with no real choice come 2027.
This coalition stands to ensure democracy survives by offering credible alternatives.”

Mark criticized the current administration, saying:

“We’ve never witnessed a government so indifferent to corruption, so dismissive of accountability.
A government more obsessed with political games than with governing.
While ordinary Nigerians suffer from hunger and poverty, those in power are already fixated on the next election instead of addressing the nation’s urgent needs.”
