The Interim National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Senator David Mark, has disclosed that the party has no preferred presidential aspirant ahead of the 2027 election.
Mark, who made this known on Tuesday, spoke amid speculations that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, the 2023 Labour Party candidate, Peter Obi, and former Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, were frontrunners for the ADC ticket.
In a statement issued by Mark’s media team in Abuja, he assured members of the public that the party would maintain transparency under his leadership.
“The ADC has no preferred or favourite presidential aspirant but has set out to first put out a platform that would be attractive and acceptable to majority of Nigerians.
“We are doing this because we do not want this great ship called Nigeria to sink because if we do not rise up, and now, they will sink all of us.
“I don’t own this party more than any of our members, and I urge all members to prepare to show Nigerians that ADC is a different party.
“A different party that is ready to properly run democracy in our country. All Nigerians must come together and take ownership of the ADC,” Mark said.
