<p>The committee will be chaired by Chief Odigie Oyegun, former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), with Prof. Pat Utomiserving as Deputy Chairman and Salifu Lukeman as Secretary.</p><div class="QOBfBRcV" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>During the inauguration, ADC Chairman David Mark urged members to prioritize commitment and transparency. He stated that any individual uncomfortable with their inclusion or facing a conflict of interest was free to excuse themselves from the committee.</p>

<p>The committee’s composition drew public attention following questions from Yemi Adamolekun, former Executive Director of the civic group Enough is Enough (EiE), whose name appeared on the list despite not being an ADC member.</p>
<p>In a media briefing after the event, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, addressed the matter. He explained that the ADC intentionally included individuals outside the party whose expertise could contribute to national development.</p>
<p>“Not everybody on that list is a member of our party,” Abdullahi stated. “Each person was recommended based on their assumed value to this assignment. Our goal is to welcome anyone willing to contribute ideas on how to govern Nigeria differently.”</p>
<p>He noted that Adamolekun’s clarification was welcomed and emphasized that the ADC does not compel membership. “It is good that she made her position known from the onset,” he added.</p>
<p>State Congresses Yet to Hold</p>
<p>Abdullahi also responded to inquiries regarding reported irregularities in some state congresses. He clarified that the party’s national body has not conducted any state congresses to date.</p>
<p>“An order was only given to fill vacant positions temporarily, pending credible elections that will be conducted in the interest of all members,” he stated.</p>
<p>The formation of the high-profile committee signals ADC’s ongoing restructuring and outreach efforts as it positions itself for the upcoming electoral cycle.</p>
