‘Hold on until May 12’ – ADC tells newly elected excos
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has directed its newly elected state executives and other party officers to stay away from assuming office for now, stressing that the current leadership remains fully in charge until a formal transition is completed.
The party said the decision is necessary to prevent confusion and avoid any potential power struggle within its ranks. It emphasised the need for a smooth and well-organised handover process.
According to the party, the inauguration of the new officials has been scheduled for May 12, 2026, or any later date that may be officially communicated.
The clarification was made in a statement issued on Friday by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi.
“The tenure of all newly elected state executives and other party officers shall not commence until the expiration of the tenure of the current executives and their formal inauguration by the party on May 12, 2026, or on any later date that may be officially communicated.
“For the avoidance of doubt, all existing executives remain the duly recognised officers of the Party until the completion of this constitutional transition process,” the party said.
It also put incoming officials, especially at the state level, on notice against actions that could stir tension or create parallel lines of authority within the party.
“Accordingly, all newly elected executives, particularly at the state level, are advised to take note and desist from any action, representation, or conduct that may contravene this clear constitutional directive or create confusion within the Party structure,” the ADC said.
The party reaffirmed that it will stick strictly to its rules as the transition unfolds.
“The ADC remains committed to orderliness, discipline, and strict adherence to its constitution and democratic processes,” it added.
