The African Democratic Congress, ADC has cautioned party members against actions capable of deepening divisions, including inflammatory statements, unnecessary litigation and internal sabotage.
ADC National Chairman and former President of the Senate, David Mark, who spoke during the inauguration of the party’s National Reconciliation and Peace Committee charged the members to resolve grievances arising from the party’s recently concluded primaries and unite members ahead of the 2027 general election.
Addressing the 11-member committee at the ADC national secretariat in Abuja, Mark said while the primaries produced winners, they also generated disappointments and grievances that must be addressed before the party goes into the 2027 electoral contest.
The national chairman urged successful candidates to see their victories as a responsibility rather than an opportunity to sideline their former opponents, stressing that unsuccessful aspirants and their supporters remained important assets to the party.
The former President of the Senate tasked the reconciliation committee to engage aspirants, candidates, party leaders and other stakeholders in constructive dialogue, identify grievances, address legitimate concerns and rebuild trust among members.
The ADC national leader also urged members to prioritise internal mechanisms for resolving disputes, while acknowledging their constitutional right to seek justice.
The initiative is aimed at “strengthening the party, healing wounds, rebuilding trust and ensuring that every member of the ADC feels valued and carried along.”
