ADC LEADERS DISMISS INEC MOVE, RALLY SUPPORTS IN OTUKPO

The leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Benue State last Thursday (2nd April, 2026) fiercely decried the decision by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to derecognise the leadership of the party by Senator David Mark executive.

They depicted INEC as a partial umpire working with the ruling party to entrench a one party system in the country stressing that they would do everything possible within the ambit of the law to resist what they described as INEC'S mischief and continue with their planned convention undeterred.

Former Speaker Pro-temporal of the House of Representatives, Terngu Tsegba who said that INEC was working in tandem with the government of the day to kill opposition in the country said no amount of shenanigans orchestrated by the electoral body and the ruling government would deter the African Democratic Congress from appearing on the balot in 2027.

He revealed that the action by the Independent National Electoral Commission stemmed from fear as a result of growing population of the ADC in the country stressing that the party in the last few days continue to leap in its membership coast asserting that the surge reflects growing public anger against the APC government in Nigeria.

He alleged that fear of electoral defeat pushed those in power to influence INEC’s action, insisting party leaders were already taking steps to reverse what he described as a midnight decision.

The wife of the National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress, Chief (Mrs) Helen Onma Mark charged the members of the party not to be despaired by the ignoble action of INEC saying that the plan was being resisted by the National leadership of the party.

"Their evil plan will not stand. Our National Chairman and other prominent leaders of our party are already taking action in Abuja and that is why our National Chairman is not here with us at the moment. Don't be disturbed by what is happening as it will not stand", she said.

Two governorship aspirants, Dr Peter Adejo and Joseph Waya who also condemned the action of INEC in strong terms told the mammoth crowd that the conspiratorial action by the INEC and the ruling All Progressives Congress was a sign that defeat is already steering them in the face.

House of Representatives hopefuls Solomon Eigege, Akpoda, Innocent Omudu, Adoyi Ojogbane and others said that the attempt by the electoral body would not deter them from continuing with their mobilisation ahead of the 2027 election assuring that they would work assiduously towards defeating present government.

On his part, Sir John Ngbede urged members not to lose steam, charging them to return to their local governments and intensify grassroots mobilisation ahead of imminent party congresses.

Former member of the House of Representatives representing Oju/Obi Federal Constituency, Samson Okwu echoed the same sentiment, calling the development an “April Fool,” and insisted that despite APC’s control of many states, the ruling party remains jittery over ADC’s rising profile.

David Olofu, a formidable Senatorial hopeful in firm tones, warned against any attempt to derail democracy, stressing that Nigerians would not be dragged back to what he metaphorically described as “the days of five leprous hands.”

Delivering the message of Senator David Mark, Peter Ede maintained that the status quo remains, insisting Mark is still the party’s national chairman and that INEC’s action raises serious questions about its neutrality.

The gathering ended on a note of resolve, with party faithful vowing to stay the course, convinced that no force can halt what they repeatedly described as a “moving train” heading into 2027.
