In a rare moment of candour and resolve, the National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), David Mark, has delivered a statement that is fast resonating across Nigeria’s shifting political landscape.
“We do not claim to be perfect,” Senator Mark declared, “but do not doubt our sense of duty and our commitment to be on the good side of history.”
The words, measured yet defiant, signal a clear attempt by the African Democratic Congress to position itself as a conscience-driven alternative at a time when public trust in politics remains fragile.
Political watchers see the statement as both a reassurance and a warning: reassurance to Nigerians disillusioned by broken promises, and a warning to political actors who underestimate the growing appetite for accountability, sacrifice, and long-term national interest over short-term power games.
Coming from a former Senate President with decades of experience at the centre of power, the message carries weight. It suggests that the ADC is not presenting itself as flawless, but as deliberate—anchored on responsibility, historical judgment, and moral clarity.
As alignments shift ahead of future electoral battles, David Mark’s words may well define the ADC’s emerging identity: a party betting that history, not propaganda, will be the final referee.
In Nigerian politics, where today’s victory often becomes tomorrow’s regret, the ADC is making a bold claim—that it intends to stand where history will not be ashamed to remember it.
