The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has officially inaugurated its Delta State Committee as part of preparations for the 2027 general election. The party aims to challenge President Bola Tinubu and Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, seeking to provide voters with an alternative in the upcoming polls.
The inauguration took place in Asaba, the state capital, with the committee tasked with setting up offices at the state, local government, ward, and unit levels. The move also involves raising awareness about the party and promoting its platform to the public. ADC leaders described the effort as part of a broader mission to ensure justice, fairness, and transparency in governance.
The party leadership said Delta State, despite its wealth, has not seen the level of development expected over the years, and they plan to provide leadership that works directly for the people. ADC officials indicated that the party’s commitment extends beyond politics, aiming to give ordinary Nigerians a voice and platform to participate effectively in governance.
The inauguration also included guidance for the Transition Management Committee, stressing the need to follow the party constitution and operational rules. Leaders cautioned against corruption, manipulation of primaries, and other unethical practices common in politics, urging members to uphold integrity while building the party’s presence in the state.
Key figures inaugurated into the Delta State Committee include Chief Great Ogboru, former governorship candidate under APGA in 2023, and Dcn. Kennedy Pela, among others. ADC leaders called on members to support national leadership and strengthen party structures across Delta State, aiming for a stronger opposition presence in the region.
