ADC Targets 14 Million Members in Aggressive Expansion Drive
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) is set to embark on an ambitious membership drive, targeting at least 14 million registered members across the country. The party’s National Secretary, Rauf Aregbesola, disclosed this during a South-West stakeholders’ meeting in Ibadan, Oyo State.
Aregbesola explained that the party’s goal is to attract committed Nigerians who are dissatisfied with the current political order. He emphasized that the ADC is not founded to wage political battles against individuals or rival parties but to build a service-driven political movement. The party’s long-term membership projection is ambitious but achievable with coordinated grassroots mobilization .

The ADC’s membership drive is part of a broader strategy to reposition the party as a major political force in Nigeria. The party is committed to investing the necessary resources to achieve its goal of 14 million members. Aregbesola stressed that the party wants to separate the wheat from the chaff by ensuring that only committed and credible people join the party.
The ADC’s aggressive expansion drive has significant implications for Nigeria’s political landscape. If successful, the party could become a major player in the country’s politics, potentially challenging the dominance of the existing major parties .
