The National Executive Committee (NEC) of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has granted its National Working Committee (NWC) under the leadership of Ralph Nwosu, one year tenure extension ahead of the 2023 general elections,

The party’s National Legal Adviser, Peter Iyiola Oyewole, while briefing the members of the NEC at the meeting held at the national secretariat of the party on Thursday in Abuja drew the attention of the NEC to the fact that the tenure of all the NWC had ended on 21st of August 2022.

The move, according to the NEC, was to ensure that the national leadership of ADC was focused on campaign activities across the country to deliver all ADC candidates at all levels.

The event was witnessed by the representative of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

A member of the NEC and the party’s Deputy National Chairman (Politics), Dr. Bamidele Ajadi moved a motion, asking that the tenure of the said national officers be extended for one year for the party to concentrate on the activities ahead, especially the campaign activities across the country which is slated to kick start in September.

According to him, “Our party deserves to focus on ensuring victory at all levels for our candidates, not only the presidential candidate but our governorship, Senatorial, House of Representatives, State Houses of Assembly candidates across the nation.”

The motion moved by Ajadi was seconded by another member of NEC, Ibrahim Suleiman.

Also, the ADC National Vice Chairman, South-South, Elder Igbinoba Festus, and the acting National Youths Leader, Hauwal Yusuf, also backed the motion to extend the tenure of the national executive members.

The NEC members in attendance unanimously voted for a year extension for the NWC of ADC.

While thanking the NEC for the confidence reposed on his leadership, the party’s National Chairman,  Raph Nwosu, promised to work harder to ensure the party delivers on its mandate in 2023.

He announced to the meeting that his leadership will convene a meeting of all the governorship candidates next week as part of efforts to unite the party and work towards victory in 2023.

2027: NDC fixes October 20 for Campaign Council inauguration, Presentation of Certificates of Return

By Myke Uzendu, Abuja  The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has fixed October 20, 2026, for the inauguration of its Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), presentation of Certificates of Return to its candidates for the 2027 general elections and a strategic dinner for candidates contesting various elective positions.  The party also disclosed that its presidential and vice-presidential candidates, Peter Obi and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, respectively, would participate in consultations to determine key appointments in the campaign council.  National Chairman of the NDC, Senator Moses Cleopas Zuwoghe, announced this on Saturday at a press conference at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja.  He said the campaign council’s organisational structure and timetable had been ready since the end of August, but its inauguration was being delayed to allow Obi and Kwankwaso to conclude consultations and recommend nominees for strategic positions.  According to him, the activities scheduled for October 20 would follow a meeting of the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC), where key decisions concerning preparations for the 2027 elections are expected to be considered and ratified.  Cleopas said the delay did not indicate inactivity or internal division, explaining that the party was committed to establishing a properly constituted campaign structure capable of coordinating its nationwide electoral activities.  He added that appointments would reflect national spread, competence, capacity and the ability of nominees to contribute meaningfully to the campaign.  The NDC chairman disclosed that Obi and Kwankwaso were expected to recommend nominees for several strategic positions in the Presidential Campaign Council, including Director-General, Deputy Director-General, campaign spokesperson, Director of Social Media and Financial Controller.  The candidates are also expected to nominate two additional officers who, alongside the party’s National Treasurer, will oversee the campaign council’s separate and dedicated bank account.  Cleopas said the arrangement was intended to ensure that the presidential and vice-presidential candidates were actively involved in decisions affecting the organisation, financing and direction of their campaign.  He maintained that the party leadership, the candidates and the National Leader, Senator Henry Seriake Dickson, were united in their preparations for the 2027 elections.  The chairman said the campaign council would be formally announced after the national leadership received the candidates’ nominations and recommendations.  He argued that constituting the council without the active participation of the presidential candidate and his running mate would be inappropriate, given their central roles in the presidential contest. Cleopas also dismissed reports suggesting that the party was divided or struggling to organise itself ahead of the 2027 elections.  He said the press conference was partly convened to address concerns raised by party members, supporters and Nigerians over the apparent delay in establishing the presidential campaign structure.  The chairman maintained that the National Working Committee (NWC), NEC, National Leader and party structures at the state, local government and ward levels remained committed to the party’s candidates.  He equally rejected suggestions that Dickson was working with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to undermine the NDC presidential ticket.  Questioning the basis of the allegation, Cleopas said it would have been easier for Dickson to join the APC than to undertake the more demanding process of establishing and registering a political party if his objective had been to work for the ruling party.  He urged journalists to exercise caution in reporting political allegations and speculation, warning that misinformation could create unnecessary distrust and mislead the electorate. ...
