Mark vows ADC will not bow to ‘political pressure’

The National Chairman of African Democratic Congress (ADC), David Mark, said on Tuesday the party would not bow to intimidation amid mounting political pressure.

Mark stated this during the party’s 2026 national convention held in Abuja.

The ADC national convention attracted at least 3,000 delegates, all of whom gathered to elect new members of National Working Committee to steer the ship of the party for the next four years.

“We have made it clear that in an ever-shrinking democratic space, the ADC will not bow, will not be cowed, and we will not retreat,” Mark said.

According to him, strong political movements are built not in comfort but in difficult times when citizens demand change, leadership, integrity and unwavering commitment to national progress.

“We will not surrender because what is at stake is not just the opposition, but the very survival of democracy in Nigeria,” he added.

He stressed that a new generation of Nigerians is demanding accountability, transparency and leadership that supports their ambitions, positioning ADC as a credible alternative political platform.

He called on opposition leaders across party lines to unite in rescue the country and described aww the current challenges as a patriotic duty beyond partisan political interests.
