NDC Celebrates Democracy Day, Promises Better Days as It Assures Nigerians Everything Will Be OK
Today, Nigerians across the country celebrate Democracy Day. However, June 12 is far more than just another date on the calendar. On June 12, 1993, Nigerians, irrespective of tribe, tongue, or religion, spoke with one voice.
They chose hope over fear and unity over division. In an election widely regarded as the freest and fairest in our nation’s history, millions queued patiently under the sun and rain to cast their votes for Chief M.K.O. Abiola.
That election was tragically annulled by the military regime of General Ibrahim Babangida, and the people’s mandate was denied. Yet, the spirit of June 12 refused to die.
For years, the ideals of June 12 lived on in the streets, in prison cells, in exile, and in the hearts of ordinary Nigerians who believed our country deserved better. Many paid the ultimate price for this belief. Today, we honour their sacrifice. It is because of their courage and commitment that June 12 is no longer merely a memory, it is now officially our Democracy Day.
As we mark this historic day, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) salutes all Nigerians and the heroes of our democracy. We urge every citizen to remember that democracy is not merely about periodic elections; it is fundamentally about the choices we make every day.
We must collectively strive to promote accountability in governance, participatory democracy, justice, and inclusivity.
The true beauty of June 12 lies in what it revealed: what is POssible when Nigerians stand united. North and South, Christians and Muslims, young and old, all came together in pursuit of a shared vision. That vision remains alive today.
As we approach another general election year, the enduring lessons of June 12, that democracy is not inherited but earned every single day, must continue to guide us.
The NDC wishes all Nigerians a peaceful and reflective Democracy Day.
While we may currently be facing some daunting challenges as a nation, we wish to assure Nigerians that everything will be OK✅ . ✌🏻
THEME: A NEW NIGERIA, THROUGH RESPONSIBLE GOVERNANCE
Party Faithfuls, Dear Nigerians,
As we mark another Democracy Day, we reflect on the promise of democracy.
Sadly, what we have witnessed across Nigeria is a far cry from that promise. Bad governance,daily rising poverty
ADC Raises Alarm Over INEC Landmines
- Plot to Prevent Party From Fielding Candidates
We are compelled to raise serious concerns about a developing situation that appears designed to prevent the African Democratic Congress (ADC) from fielding candidates in the upcoming elections. It is based on documentary evidence which we are now placing before the Nigerian public, including certified INEC records, attendance logs, monitoring reports, and excerpts from the Commission’s own sworn affidavit. Taken together, these documents establish a clear and consistent record of events.
View the records here: https://t.co/0qcc6aZ4Rq
INEC received formal notice of the July 29, 2025 National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the ADC. It deployed officials to monitor that meeting. It documented the proceedings and received formal reports from its field officers. Following this, INEC updated its internal records and uploaded the names of the new leadership, including Senator David Mark as National Chairman and Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola as National Secretary.
These are not claims. They are facts contained in INEC’s own records.
In addition, the Commission’s sworn affidavit before the Federal High Court, in its response to Nafiu Bala Gombe on 12 September 2025, particularly in Clauses 14 to 19, affirms key legal principles: that the leadership transition had already been completed and recognized, that such internal party matters fall outside the scope of judicial interference, that completed acts cannot be reversed by injunction, and also recognizes the David Mark-led NWC.
Yet, despite this clear documentary trail, INEC has now taken the position that it will no longer receive any correspondence from the ADC pending the determination of a matter before the Federal High Court. This is where the contradiction becomes dangerous.
The Electoral Act imposes strict timelines on political parties, including the 21-day notice requirement and submission deadlines. INEC itself has fixed May 10 as the deadline for the submission of relevant documents. However, by refusing to receive communication from the ADC within this same period, the Commission is effectively preventing the Party from complying with the law.
In simple terms, INEC is effectively threatening that unless the courts deliver judgment on the ADC leadership issue by May 10, it will prevent the ADC from producing candidates.
This places the ADC in an impossible position and creates a clear pathway to artificial non-compliance, which can then be used to justify excluding the Party from fielding candidates. That is the landmine.
INEC has claimed that its April 1 decision was taken to avoid rendering the proceedings before the Federal High Court nugatory. The reality is the opposite. By intervening in a matter already before the court and issuing a pronouncement with clear legal and operational consequences, the Commission has itself undermined the very process it claims to protect.
What is even more concerning is that this position contradicts INEC’s own prior conduct and legal stance. The same Commission that monitored, documented, recognized, and swore to an affidavit confirming the ADC leadership is now acting in a way that contradicts its earlier position.
We therefore call on the Commission to immediately reverse this position, resume the acceptance of all lawful correspondence from the ADC, and uphold its constitutional responsibility to ensure a level playing field for all political parties.
We also call on Nigerians to be wary and remain vigilant about these dangerous machinations to subvert Nigeria’s democracy and impose a civilian dictatorship on the country.
Earlier today, the leadership of African Democratic Congress (ADC), through the office of the National Welfare Secretary, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Association of Skilled and Vocational Artisans of Nigeria (ASVAN).

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has announced the constitution of its 50-member Wise Men and Women Policy and Manifesto Committee, following the approval of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party.
The committee was approved by the National Chairman of the ADC, His Excellency, Senator David A. B. Mark, GCON, in line with the party’s commitment to building a credible, people-centred, and forward-looking policy framework for national governance.
The Policy and Manifesto Committee brings together a distinguished group of Nigerians drawn from diverse backgrounds, including former public office holders, academics, technocrats, policy experts, civil society leaders, and professionals. Collectively, they represent a wealth of experience in governance, economic management, social development, security, and democratic reform.
The committee will be chaired by Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, with Professor Pat Utomi serving as Deputy Chairman, while Salihu Lukman will serve as Secretary.
According to the party, the committee is tasked with articulating a clear, coherent, and credible policy direction that reflects the aspirations of Nigerians and positions the ADC as a serious alternative platform for responsible leadership and national renewal.
The formal inauguration of the committee has been scheduled for Monday, February 2, 2026, at 12 noon, at the Conference Hall of the ADC National Secretariat, Abuja.
The African Democratic Congress reaffirms its belief that Nigeria’s challenges require ideas rooted in competence, integrity, and national consensus, and expresses confidence that the committee will deliver a manifesto that speaks to the real needs of Nigerians.
All concerned members and relevant stakeholders are invited to take note.
