The party’s interim National Chairman, David Mark, made this call during a gathering of ADC candidates in Abuja, emphasizing the party’s preparedness to deliver improved and effective governance.
Senator David Mark, the National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has called on the Nigerian electorate to place their trust in the party during the forthcoming bye-elections set to take place on Saturday. Speaking during a special gathering organized for ADC candidates in Abuja, David Mark emphasized the party’s preparedness and commitment to offering a higher standard of governance.
He appealed to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct the elections with fairness, impartiality, and transparency, stressing that the integrity of the electoral process is vital to public confidence in democratic institutions.
The event brought together aspirants contesting for various legislative positions under the ADC platform, including those vying for seats in the Senate, the House of Representatives, and State Houses of Assembly.
David Mark captures ADC’s mission
During his address, Senator Mark reiterated the fundamental mission of the ADC, which, he said, was founded out of a genuine need to present Nigerians with a viable and credible alternative to the existing political order. According to him, the ADC was created in response to the nation’s pressing demand for better governance, accountability, and visionary leadership.
“The African Democratic Congress is not just another political party; it emerged as a response to the urgent call for change in the country,” David Mark explained. “We are offering Nigerians a new direction, and we are ready to deliver. What we ask for is a chance to prove ourselves in office.”
David Mark highlights voters in several regions
He specifically urged voters in the states of Anambra, Edo, Oyo, Taraba, Adamawa, Kaduna, Zamfara, Kano, Niger, and Ogun to throw their support behind ADC candidates, assuring them that the party remains deeply committed to fulfilling its campaign promises and prioritizing the welfare of the people.

Senator David Mark also directed a strong message to INEC, urging the commission to rise above partisanship and ensure that the upcoming polls are conducted with utmost professionalism and credibility.
He pointed out that the electoral body has an opportunity to redeem its image, which has suffered due to past controversies and alleged irregularities. “The credibility of INEC is under scrutiny. Nigerians are watching closely. A genuinely transparent and credible election this weekend could go a long way in restoring public faith in the system,” he stated.
ADC’s resilience and dedication
Furthermore, the ADC leader commended the resilience and dedication of the party’s candidates, many of whom, he noted, have demonstrated great courage and a sense of responsibility in their campaigns. He called on both the candidates and their supporters to strictly adhere to all electoral guidelines, avoid violence, and remain vigilant against any forms of electoral malpractice or intimidation.
In conclusion, Mark appealed to Nigeria’s security agencies to maintain neutrality and ensure that the electoral process is not compromised by external interference. He emphasized the need for a secure environment where all political actors can compete fairly, and where the true will of the people can be reflected without fear or coercion. By doing so, he added, the nation can take a significant step forward in strengthening its democracy.
