The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Cross River State has announced that it is fully geared up to conduct its primaries for the 2027 general elections. This declaration comes from Dr. John Ogar, the newly elected chairman of the party in the state, who emphasized that the party is on schedule to sell nomination forms and urged interested aspirants to promptly visit the party secretariat.
Speaking in Calabar after the state congress, where a 37-member executive committee was unanimously elected through consensus, Ogar downplayed recent defections, noting that only one executive member has left. He criticized politicians who advocate for opposition and unity but later abandon coalitions, asserting that the sincere and committed members remain within the party.
Ogar vowed to elevate the party to greater achievements and dismissed reports of factionalization, insisting that the party is united. He further stressed that the congress adhered to the party’s constitution and was upheld by a court ruling affirming the state executive’s authority to organize such congresses.
