As Nigeria’s 2026 political calendar shifts into high gear, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) is moving aggressively to consolidate its position as a viable opposition force—placing youth power at the center of its strategy.
In a statement released this week, Hajiya Hassana Shuaibu Dada, Assistant National Youth Leader of the ADC for the North Central zone, announced a sweeping series of Youth Townhall Meetings across the region, signaling what party insiders describe as a decisive moment for grassroots political engagement.
“North Central youths, this is your call,” the statement read.
A REGIONAL TOUR WITH NATIONAL IMPLICATIONS
Organized through the Office of the Assistant National Youth Leader, the townhall meetings are designed to bring together youth leaders, party officials, coordinators, mobilizers, and support groups in a coordinated push toward political participation ahead of 2026.
The tour kicks off December 26, 2025, with two full days of engagement in each state, and an ambitious turnout target of 1,000 youths or more per state.
