The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has reaffirmed its dedication to boosting women’s involvement in Nigerian politics and governance.
The party highlighted that its constitution allocates 40 percent of all party positions at every level to women. This makes it one of the few political parties in the country with a clear framework designed to encourage female inclusion in leadership roles.
Bolaji Abdullahi, the National Secretary of the ADC, shared this information on Sunday in a statement posted on his official X handle, commemorating International Women’s Day.
According to Abdullahi, the party remains committed to fostering a political environment where women are encouraged and empowered to lead and actively contribute to shaping Nigeria’s political and governance landscape.
The post read: “On this commemoration of #WomensDay, as the only political party in Nigeria whose constitution reserves 40% of all party positions at all levels to women, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) reaffirms our commitment to building a political culture where women can lead and participate fully in shaping our politics and governance.”
The ADC spokesman also urged more Nigerian women to join the party and contribute to efforts aimed at creating a more inclusive political system in the country.
Abdullahi concluded by stating that increasing women’s participation in politics remains crucial for strengthening democracy and ensuring balanced representation in governance.
