ADC National Chairman Addresses Reports of David Mark’s Appointment as Transition Leader

By Arthur Maduka

Ralph Nwosu, national chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has responded to reports suggesting that former Senate President David Mark has been appointed as the party’s transition chairman. In a statement on Saturday, Nwosu neither confirmed nor denied the report but said the party is undergoing a period of transition and will officially clarify its leadership arrangements next week.

Nwosu praised Mark’s record of leadership and service, describing him as a patriotic figure capable of bringing focus and stability to the ADC as it prepares for the 2027 elections. He noted that the ADC has been working to reposition itself as a platform for credible leaders and patriots ready to serve the nation.

David Mark, who served as senate president from 2007 to 2015, remains a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and has not formally announced a switch to the ADC. Meanwhile, opposition figures have intensified talks on forming a coalition strong enough to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 presidential election.
