ADC Launches Reform Manifesto for 2027 Elections

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) unveiled its 12-point policy manifesto on April 14, 2026, in Abuja, led by Mallam Salihu Moham Lukman, a former director of the Progressive Governors Forum. The manifesto aims to reform governance and tackle economic and security challenges in Nigeria ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Key highlights include the establishment of an independent electoral management system, promoting zero-impunity governance, and strengthening fiscal responsibility. The manifesto emphasizes citizen-centered policies and proposes a living wage system, labor reforms, and comprehensive policies covering agriculture, economy, energy, environment, and health.

It identifies rising product costs, insecurity, and weak technology adoption as major issues undermining food production. The ADC pledges to prioritize food security, healthcare, and education, while proposing a four-level security framework to enhance local intelligence and border surveillance.

The manifesto was produced by a committee chaired by former APC national chairman John Odigi Oyegun and includes recommendations from renowned economist Prof. Pat Utomi.
