(DDM) – The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has officially inaugurated its Delta State committee, declaring its determination to challenge and unseat President Bola Tinubu and Governor Sheriff Oborevwori in the 2027 elections.
DDM gathered that the inauguration ceremony took place on Wednesday, December 11, 2025, at the ADC Secretariat in Asaba, Delta State, and drew party officials, supporters, and grassroots mobilisers from across the state.
The event, which marked the commencement of ADC’s strategic preparations for the upcoming general and gubernatorial polls, featured speeches outlining the party’s vision, objectives, and plans for contesting key political positions.
Party leaders stated that the Delta State committee would spearhead campaigns aimed at winning over voters through grassroots engagement, policy advocacy, and mobilisation of local support networks.
The ADC emphasized that its mission is rooted in providing alternative leadership that prioritizes accountability, transparency, and socio-economic development across Nigeria, particularly in Delta State.
During the event, the newly appointed committee members pledged loyalty to the party’s agenda and promised to execute plans to strengthen ADC’s presence in both urban and rural communities.
Historical context shows that Delta State has been a stronghold of established political parties, with gubernatorial contests often dominated by mainstream parties aligned with the federal government.
Political analysts note that ADC’s decision to directly target both the presidency and the state government reflects an ambitious strategy to disrupt traditional political alignments ahead of 2027.
The party argued that dissatisfaction with governance, coupled with youth activism and demand for credible leadership, creates fertile ground for emerging political movements.
ADC leaders further stressed the importance of strategic collaboration with local civil society groups and community influencers to mobilize voters and educate citizens about alternative governance models.
The committee vowed to deploy innovative campaign techniques, including digital engagement, town hall meetings, and grassroots rallies, to ensure widespread visibility ahead of the elections.
Supporters at the inauguration expressed optimism that ADC could become a formidable contender in Delta State, citing the party’s focus on inclusivity, anti-corruption, and youth empowerment as key differentiators.
Political observers highlight that unseating an incumbent governor and a sitting president requires meticulous planning, coalition-building, and sustained voter engagement at every local government area.
The ADC leadership in Delta State assured that their campaign would remain peaceful, issue-driven, and grounded in constitutional processes, avoiding the pitfalls of political violence or intimidation.
This development comes amid growing anticipation of Nigeria’s 2027 general elections, with several parties already positioning themselves for high-stakes contests at both federal and state levels.
Analysts say ADC’s bold announcement signals increased competition in Delta State, potentially reshaping voter dynamics and forcing established parties to recalibrate their strategies.
Grassroots mobilizers from the committee pledged commitment to community outreach, voter education, and the identification of credible candidates to represent ADC across all constituencies.
The ADC’s Delta State inauguration has reignited political debates, with citizens and commentators closely watching whether the party can translate its stated ambitions into electoral success.
The party concluded the ceremony by calling on all Deltans to actively participate in shaping the future of governance in the state and to consider ADC as a viable alternative ahead of the 2027 polls.
