National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), David Mark, has said the party is driven by a strong conviction to serve all Nigerians with commitment and integrity, building an institution that is greater than any individual.
Mark, a former Senate President, said the ADC would review the Nigerian Constitution to reflect a new order, develop a code of ethics, financing rules, and compliance systems if it wins the 2027 general elections.
He also stressed the need to establish functional ward, local government, and state structures with trained organisers, digital registers, and service desks.
Speaking on Tuesday at the opening of the party’s first official National Working Committee (NWC) meeting in Abuja, Mark said the time had come for members to begin the work of “resetting Nigeria,” urging them to prepare for the challenges ahead.
“The road will be uphill, sacrifice will be demanded, and those threatened by democracy will resist it. Still, we must advance calmly, courageously, and together as a formidable team,” he said.
He noted that the ADC was determined to build a political institution guided by character, competence, courage, and discipline, stressing that the party would prioritise accountability, internal democracy, and service over personal interests.

“What makes the ADC different is simple: we will be a party of purpose and determination, not impulses — an institution that champions democratic values and a culture of accountability and responsibility across all its organs and in every government it forms,” Mark said.
He described the ADC as a Pan-African, people-oriented, and problem-solving movement sensitive to the needs of the poor, youth, women, workers, entrepreneurs, retirees, and other vulnerable groups.
“We will convert empathy into policy, and policy into results. We will build a party that outlives us all. Other parties revolve around individuals; the ADC will revolve around rules, policies, programmes, and results,” he stated.
