The swearing-in took place on Tuesday in Abuja during the party’s 99th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting.
In his remarks following the inauguration, Senator Mark pledged to promote internal democracy, transparency, and inclusivity within the party. He committed to reserving 35% of leadership positions for women and ensuring active participation of youths under the age of 40 in party affairs.
The former Niger State military administrator also announced the formation of a 50-member Policy Committee to review the party’s manifesto and drive reforms in key sectors.
“I assure you that under my leadership, we shall be committed to full democratic practices and principles that abhor imposition and special privileges. Internal democracy, transparency, and accountability will be our mantra,” he said.
On his part, the outgoing chairman, Ralph Nwosu, hailed the party’s resistance to pressure and financial inducements aimed at turning Nigeria into a one-party state.
“ADC said no to dictatorship. We stood our ground for democracy,” he stated.
Recall that during the ADC meeting, expelled members, except 2023 presidential candidate Dumebi Kachikwu, were reinstated, and a motion was passed to dissolve the former NWC and BoT, allowing the new leadership to assume full responsibility until new congresses are held.
