....... *As ADC Members Converge in Delta to Shape Party’s Future*
In a bold move to reposition the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as a formidable force ahead of upcoming political cycles, the Delta State chapter of the party is convening a landmark General Coalition Stakeholders Meeting. The high level gathering is scheduled for Saturday, *August 9, 2025,* at the PTI Conference Centre, Effurun, Delta State. *Time is 10:00* am prompt.
Tagged as a historic convergence of minds, the meeting will bring together prominent figures from across the party's national structure, regional leadership, grassroots mobilizers, and key political strategists. The event promises to be a defining moment for the ADC in its quest to offer credible alternatives in governance.
Leading the charge at the stakeholders’ meeting is His *Excellency, Senator Dr. David Mark, GCON* , who doubles as the *ADC National Chairman* . A respected statesman and *former Senate President, Sen. Mark* is expected to deliver a keynote address that will set the tone for discussions on unity, progress, and innovation within the party.
Joining him as Special Guest of Honour is His *Excellency, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, ADC’s National Secretary and former Minister of Interior* . Known for his grassroots political savvy and administrative depth, Aregbesola will offer insight into the party’s national strategic vision and roadmap for inclusion.
Also expected at the gathering is *Elder Festus Igbinoba* , the party’s South South Zonal Vice Chairman, who will be engaging stakeholders on regional strengthening and party structure consolidation. Alongside him is *Comrade Honda Bright, the ADC Zonal Youth Leader* , whose focus will be energizing youth participation and voter engagement.
From within the host state, *Engineer Austine C. Okolie* , the Delta State Chairman of the ADC, will make a guest appearance to present a progress report on the state chapter’s efforts and challenges. Other distinguished national leaders of the party are also slated to participate.
The meeting is being convened by *Hon. (Arch.) Akpovoka Efeni Julius* and *Mr. Fortune Oyadoghan* , two notable political figures and advocates for transformational politics within the ADC. Their vision for a united and forward thinking party is what inspired the Delta Coalition’s formation.
This gathering is not merely a political event; it is a rallying cry for party loyalists, new entrants, and reform-minded citizens to engage meaningfully in shaping the political future of Nigeria. The organisers have described it as “a once-in-a-generation opportunity to contribute to the rebirth of credible politics.”
All invited stakeholders, party faithful, and interested citizens are encouraged to attend, participate actively, and leave with a renewed sense of purpose and national mission. With unity, strategy, and commitment, the *ADC* believes it can truly “Arise and Shine.”
ADC, Arise and Shine! AD & C, Arise and Shine Nigeria!
