ADC inaugurates 30-man committee to strengthen membership in Gombe

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has inaugurated a 30-man committee to drive membership registration campaign in the state ahead of 2027 general election.

Former Minister of Transportation and Gombe State ADC coalition leader, Idris Umar, while speaking after the inauguration held in Gombe on Friday said the move was to boost its membership base.

Umar said that the ADC was on a rescue mission to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress-led government in the state and country and would only achieve that with membership strength.

He said that the party’s mobilisation drive would be taken to the grassroots and to every community in the state towards welcoming residents whom he said were eager to join the party.

According to him, the party is optimistic of garnering 500, 000 new members within the next three months.

He said with the calibre and experience of the committee members, the ADC would gather enough membership strength to oust the ruling APC in the state.

“There is already grassroots support for the ADC and people love the party and are eager to be part of us and that is why we set up this committee.

“We are under pressure to bring membership cards for people to register and today we are launching the drive.”

On his part, the Chairman of the ADC Membership Drive, Gombe State and former deputy governor of Gombe State, Mr Lazarus Yoriyo said that his committee would work to boost ADC membership.

Yoriyo said he would also encourage members to register and their Permanent Voter Card, urging residents to embrace the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration.

On his part, the Gombe State ADC Chairman, Mr Auwal Barde, appealed to members to be united and loyal to the course of building the party.

Barde said that the ADC would work hard to ensure that it remained one united team that could provide a better platform for citizens to get good governance.
