Members of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, in Anambra State have affirmed their support for the party, insisting that they remain loyal to the David Mark and Rauf Aregbeshola leadership of the party.
This assurance is coming despite the exit of presidential hopeful, Peter Obi, who is also an indigene of Anambra State. Obi recently defected to the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC.
The state chapter of the ADC disclosed this to journalists after a leadership consultative meeting held in Awka, Anambra State.
Dr Ndubuisi Nwosu, the deputy governorship candidate of ADC in Anambra during the November 2025 gubernatorial election, said the leadership of the party in the state has met and resolved to stay put in ADC and also work for the party in the forthcoming election.
He added that even though the Anambra ADC is pained by the exit of Obi and some of his supporters, it wishes them well and hopes that someday they will join hands with them to tackle the leadership challenges in the country.
Nwosu said: “The state leaders of our party have reaffirmed the loyalty and support of the ADC Anambra State chapter to the national leadership headed by Senator David Mark and his excellency, Rauf Aregbesola.
“We resolved to commend the founding chairman and former national chairman of the ADC, our brother, Ralph Nwosu, for the exemplary show of presenting the ADC platform as an umbrella body for the coalition, and his selfless role in navigating the coalition to its fruition.
“We wish to affirm that ADC’s birth is from Anambra State, and Anambra State will not be found wanting, and it’s in the interest of the party to achieve success come 2027 general elections. As for our brothers who have moved on to some other platforms, we wish them well. We look forward to a day they will all join us to rescue this country.”
