(DDM) – The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has announced the final preparations for the official unveiling of its Delta State Coalition Vehicle.

Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) noted that the historic event is scheduled for Saturday, November 15, 2025, at the prestigious Delta State Government House Square in Asaba, the state capital.

Hon. Dr. Kenneth C. Gbandi, chairman of the Unveiling Committee, confirmed the date while expressing sincere gratitude to party supporters, grassroots leaders, and donors who have contributed to the coalition’s progress across the state.

He noted that the unwavering commitment of members, whether from hospital beds, marketplaces, or rural communities, reflects the unity and resilience that continue to drive ADC’s movement for credible leadership in Delta State.

The unveiling ceremony is expected to feature national party officers, coalition partners, political stalwarts, and special guests, including Distinguished Senator David Mark, who is set to lead the formal proceedings.

Organisers highlighted that the event marks a pivotal moment in ADC’s strategic plans to strengthen grassroots mobilisation, deepen political awareness, and promote democratic renewal across all local government areas of Delta State.

The Delta State Coalition Vehicle, organisers say, is more than a symbolic asset; it is a mobile hub for community engagement, political education, and advocacy for good governance.

Supporters and well-wishers have been encouraged to attend in large numbers to witness this historic milestone and show solidarity with the party’s vision.

Preparations are reportedly in their final stages, including detailed logistical arrangements, security measures, media coverage coordination, and health protocols to ensure a safe and seamless event.

Party leaders expressed optimism that the ceremony will galvanise grassroots support, inspire local leaders, and energise members ahead of upcoming political campaigns and civic engagement activities throughout Delta State.

ADC officials also confirmed plans to use the unveiling as an opportunity to announce future coalition initiatives, partnerships with civil society organisations, and programs aimed at youth empowerment, women participation, and community development.

(DDM) — Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf and his predecessor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, have met for the first time since the highly contested 2023 gubernatorial election, marking a significant moment in Kano’s tense political atmosphere.

Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) gathered that the two political figures came face-to-face on Tuesday at a public function in Abuja, where they exchanged brief pleasantries amid visible curiosity from attendees.

Their meeting comes months after a prolonged legal battle that saw the Supreme Court uphold Yusuf’s victory, ending a heated political rivalry that defined Kano’s political space in 2023.

Witnesses told DDM that both men maintained composure throughout the encounter, though the brief interaction drew attention from journalists and political observers eager to interpret the symbolism of their reunion.

Political analysts say the meeting could signal the beginning of a cautious reconciliation between the ruling New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) and the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano, two blocs that have fiercely competed for influence in the state.

Governor Yusuf has repeatedly accused Ganduje’s administration of financial mismanagement and abuse of office, while Ganduje and his allies have described the allegations as politically motivated vendettas.

According to DDM findings, the event where they met was part of a national stakeholders’ gathering, which brought together current and former leaders to discuss governance reforms and intergovernmental collaboration.

Observers suggest that while no formal peace talks were confirmed, the handshake between Yusuf and Ganduje may open channels for dialogue, especially as both leaders face internal political pressures ahead of the 2027 elections.
