The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has expressed renewed confidence in its readiness for the 2026 governorship election in Ekiti State, with its gubernatorial candidate, Ambassador Dare Bejide, assuring party supporters of a guaranteed victory.
Bejide received a warm reception at the party’s secretariat in Ado-Ekiti after returning from Abuja, reaffirming his commitment to leading the ADC to electoral success.
Addressing a large crowd of enthusiastic supporters, he characterized the gathering as an occasion to thank God for the progress the party has made, rather than a campaign rally.
He urged members to remain steadfast and not be disheartened by the recent crisis at the party secretariat, referring to the incident as a temporary setback. “This marks a positive beginning toward 2026,” he stated. “The ticket is in God’s hands—no power comes except from Him.”
The event attracted prominent party figures, including State Chairman Pastor Omolayo, former Commissioner for Information Akin Omole, Hon. Femi Adegbite, Otunba Emmanuel Fayose, and Hon. Dare Adekolu. They all pledged their support for Bejide’s ambitions and reiterated their commitment to strengthening the party in preparation for the election.
In his remarks, Pastor Omolayo commended members for their bravery in attending despite recent tensions. He called for unity and solidarity, describing the ADC as a party founded on love and mutual respect.
Barr. Omole acknowledged the unrest that had affected the party in recent weeks, noting that Ambassador Bejide had traveled to Abuja to address critical electoral matters. He praised members for their commitment and encouraged them to increase their involvement in party activities.
Other speakers, including Adegbite, Fayose, and Adekolu, emphasized the importance of loyalty, collaboration, and unwavering dedication. They assured supporters that the ADC leadership is actively working to resolve internal issues and reposition the party for victory.
Bejide, while addressing the earlier attack on the party office, described it as politically motivated and confirmed that the matter had been reported to authorities in Abuja. He also highlighted the broader national challenges of insecurity and unemployment, linking them to leadership failures over the years.
He maintained that empowering citizens through skills acquisition and revitalizing the agricultural sector would help tackle these issues in Ekiti and across Nigeria.
“We have much to accomplish, and we are committed to achieving it,” Bejide declared, reaffirming the ADC’s readiness to work tirelessly for the people.
With renewed confidence from its leadership and supporters, the ADC asserts that it is prepared to be a significant contender as the countdown to the 2026 Ekiti governorship election intensifies.
