Kwara ADC Launches Membership Drive, Governorship Aspirant Unveils 2027 Agenda

On Tuesday, the African Democratic Congress in Kwara State began a membership drive and public outreach in Ilorin, ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The exercise aimed to attract new supporters and present the party as an alternative choice for voters in the state.

Abdulmumin Ajia, a governorship aspirant on the ADC platform, led the mobilization across major parts of Ilorin and outlined his vision for governance. Ajia, who is a professor of Business Administration at Lincoln University in the United States, formally announced his intention to contest the 2027 governorship election under the party.

During the campaign, Ajia stressed that his political focus would be on improving systems and governance structures rather than promoting personality-driven politics. He shared plans to enhance government transparency, ensure public access to project and budget information, and create platforms for citizens to track government activities.

Ajia also presented a four-pillar framework for his agenda, covering opportunity creation, strengthening institutions, promoting jobs and entrepreneurship, and improving public service delivery, including healthcare and education. He proposed introducing digital systems to enable easier access to government services and information.

The aspirant called for broader collaboration among professionals, youth groups, women organizations, traditional institutions, and civil society to build a governance culture based on accountability and functional institutions.

He urged citizens to evaluate political actors based on policies and the quality of their teams, rather than slogans or campaign rhetoric.

The membership drive and Ajia’s declaration highlighted the party’s effort to position itself as a credible option in Kwara State politics and encourage citizens to engage in institutional and system-focused governance.
