Abuja — Ralph Nwosu, the pioneer National Chairman and founder of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has revealed that the party leadership stepped down to allow former Senate President, David Mark, to lead a new coalition aimed at securing the presidency.
Speaking at a high-level political meeting, Nwosu said the decision was a strategic move to reposition the party for national impact, stressing that Nigeria is in dire need of a transformational leadership.
“We all decided to resign so that Mark can paddle this canoe and get us to the Villa,” Nwosu declared.
He described the current state of the nation as critical, likening it to being in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU), and called on emerging political leaders to rise to the occasion.
“Nigeria has been in ICU. Lives are being lost every day. My appeal to the emerging political leaders is to take Nigeria from the ICU to global reckoning because we can.”
Nwosu expressed confidence in the new leadership, which includes prominent figures like David Mark and former Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola. He urged party members and supporters to remain united and focused.

“We can help Mark and Aregbesola by the way we conduct ourselves. Anybody who says anything against what we’ve done today is not an ADC member. We shouldn’t be apologetic. We need to be ready for this battle. More will come, but the way we are, we will surmount them.”

Nwosu emphasized that although he has stepped down as Chairman, he remains committed to the party’s vision and would continue to serve as an active member until, in his words, “we sing the national anthem in the Villa.”
