A prominent voice within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Jigawa State urges party leadership to prioritize inclusivity. Non-indigenous members seek fair representation in upcoming ward congresses and the national convention.
This demand highlights longstanding marginalization, where non-indigenes contribute actively yet lack proportional roles.
Inclusion Fosters Unity in Diverse Jigawa ADC
Ensuring their inclusion fosters unity, strengthens grassroots participation, and reflects Jigawa’s diverse demographic makeup across ethnic lines.
Leadership must act swiftly by revising selection criteria for delegates and positions.
True democracy thrives on equity; ignoring this risks alienating key supporters and weakening ADC’s electoral prospects in Jigawa.
Comrade Chidiebere Charles Opara, Director General (DG) of Non-Indigenes, ADC Jigawa State.
Emphasized that non-indigenous individuals are registered members of the party and stakeholders, deserving of a seat at the table.
“It’s time for the party leadership to recognize our contributions and involve us in decision-making processes,” Opara urged. “Inclusivity is key to the party’s growth and success.”
Opara stressed that involving non-indigenous members fully aligns with the ADC party constitution and core policies.
ADC Step Shows Diversity, Equity Commitment in Jigawa
This step would demonstrate unwavering commitment to diversity, equity, and true representation across Jigawa’s communities.
Such inclusion strengthens internal democracy by honoring constitutional mandates on fair participation.
It counters exclusionary practices, builds trust among diverse members, and positions ADC as a model for inclusive Nigerian politics.
Ultimately, this move tests the party’s dedication to its ideals.

“This is not just a call, but a reminder of the party’s promise to be inclusive and representative,” Opara said.
“We want to be part of the process, not just beneficiaries of the party’s decisions.”
The call comes as political parties prepare for congresses and national conventions, making it a critical moment for the ADC to practice what it preaches and ensure all members have a voice.
Opara’s appeal is expected to resonate with many non-indigenous members of the party who have been seeking greater involvement in party affairs.

A formal reply could emerge soon, signaling either endorsement or deflection.
