The National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Senator David Mark, has appealed to Nigerians to give the party a chance to prove itself in the upcoming bye-elections scheduled for Saturday.
Speaking at an event for ADC candidates in Abuja, Mark highlighted the party’s willingness to deliver better governance and called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct a free, fair, and credible poll.
The event drew together ADC senatorial, House of Representatives, and State Houses of Assembly candidates, with Mark and other party leaders underlining the importance of the elections.
“The ADC is a child of necessity. It was born out of the genuine desire to offer Nigerians an alternative and better governance. Give the party an opportunity to prove its worth,” Mark said.
We urged voters in Anambra, Edo, Oyo, Taraba, Adamawa, Kaduna, Zamfara, Kano, Niger, and Ogun States to support ADC candidates, assuring them of the party’s commitment to delivering on pledges.
Mark also urged INEC to act impartially and transparently, emphasising that its performance would be critical to rebuilding public trust in the electoral system.
“All eyes are on the Commission to correct past errors that have tarnished its public image. A truly free, fair, and credible election on Saturday could help redeem its reputation,” he said.
The ADC leader praised the courage and dedication of the party’s candidates, urging them and their supporters to follow electoral laws and avoid manipulation and intimidation.
He also urged security agencies to ensure a level playing field for all contenders, allowing the people’s will to prevail without interference.
