A political storm is brewing in the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as Nafiu Bala Gombe declares that aspirants above 55 years will be barred from contesting under the party.
Speaking in an interview with BBC Hausa, Gombe said the move is aimed at giving Nigerian youths a stronger foothold in leadership and decision-making.
He insisted the policy would fast-track generational change within the party, stressing that the future of Nigeria’s politics must be driven by younger, vibrant leaders.
The bold declaration is already sparking debate across political circles, with many watching to see how the policy will reshape ADC’s internal dynamics ahead of upcoming elections.
