By Abdullahi Yusuf
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) says the tenure of its newly-elected State Executives and other party officers will not commence until the expiration of the tenure of the current executives and their formal inauguration by the party on May 12, 2026, “or on any later date that may be officially communicated.”
This is contained in a statement signed by the party’s National Publicity Secretary,Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi.
“The African Democratic Congress (ADC) wishes to reiterate that the tenure of all newly-elected State Executives and other party officers shall not commence until the expiration of the tenure of the current executives and their formal inauguration by the Party on May 12, 2026, or on any later date that may be officially communicated.
“For the avoidance of doubt, all existing executives remain the duly recognised officers of the party until the completion of this constitutional transition process.
“Accordingly, all newly-elected executives, particularly at the state level, are advised to take note and desist from any action, representation, or conduct that may contravene this clear constitutional directive or create confusion within the Party structure,” Abdullahi said.
He added that the party remains committed to orderliness, discipline and strict adherence to its constitution and democratic processes.
