(DDM) – The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kwara State has publicly expressed deep appreciation to one of its notable leaders, Barrister Mansuma Issa, for his outstanding support, leadership, and commitment towards advancing the party’s growth and visibility in the state.
Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) gathered that the gesture came in the form of an appreciation message signed by the ADC Kwara State Publicity Secretary, Comrade Ibraheemalfa Abdulrasheed Gbagba, which was widely circulated to members and stakeholders.
The message not only highlighted Issa’s contributions but also reaffirmed the party’s collective resolve to work as a team in pursuit of political relevance and electoral victories in the state.
In the statement, the ADC Kwara leadership praised Barr. Issa for his hospitality, organizational support, and consistent efforts in promoting the party’s interest.
According to the statement, such selfless dedication reflects the spirit of service and sacrifice that the ADC seeks to instill across its membership.
The party further emphasized the importance of teamwork, urging members to set aside personal differences and prioritize unity of purpose.
Comrade Abdulrasheed noted that only through collaboration can the ADC consolidate its presence and challenge the dominance of bigger political parties in Kwara State’s competitive political space.
Political observers describe the move as timely, given the mounting pressure on smaller parties in Nigeria to strengthen their internal structures ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In Kwara State, where the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has maintained a firm grip on the political landscape, the ADC is gradually positioning itself as a credible alternative, particularly among youths, grassroots voters, and disenchanted citizens seeking fresh political platforms.
The appreciation message to Barr. Issa also reflects the ADC’s recognition of the need for strong, visionary leadership at the state level.
Analysts say the ADC leadership in Kwara has been working quietly to build bridges across communities, energize grassroots supporters, and rally new members into the fold, in preparation for an expanded political role.
In recent years, the ADC has carved out a reputation for advocating good governance, accountability, and inclusiveness.
Its national leadership has often called for reforms that would expand political participation beyond the traditional dominance of the APC and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Kwara State, long known as a battleground of political godfathers and reformists, has become a testing ground for smaller parties like the ADC to prove their relevance.
By commending Barr. Mansuma Issa, the ADC Kwara leadership has sent a strong message that loyalty and service are valued, and that collective effort remains central to the party’s success.
The statement ended on an optimistic note, calling on members to remain steadfast, united, and committed to building a brighter future for Kwara State under the ADC’s banner.
