In a strategic move to bolster its political machinery, key stakeholders of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition in Oyo State convened a pivotal meeting on Tuesday, January 6, 2026. The gathering aimed at reinforcing the party's framework and unity in preparation for forthcoming electoral contests and internal congresses.
Unity and Strategic Resolutions Take Centre Stage
According to a statement released by the Protem ADC Coalition Publicity Secretary, Rotimi Johnson Ojasope, the meeting yielded significant resolutions focused on building a cohesive and electorally viable party. The stakeholders unanimously adopted a communiqué, placing a premium on unity, internal cohesion, and collective responsibility as the bedrock for a sustainable party structure across Oyo State.
The meeting reiterated that the party's immediate focus is on strengthening internal structures and strategic positioning. This involves emphasizing discipline, coordination, and a clearly defined shared purpose among all members to ensure the ADC is battle-ready for elections.
Membership Drive and Grassroots Mobilization as Top Priorities

This effort is seen as fundamental to preparing for the upcoming party congress.
Furthermore, the stakeholders resolved to begin early preparations for the ADC Congress to ensure robust participation at ward, local government, and zonal levels. The strategy includes a strong emphasis on sustained grassroots mobilization and structured engagement to deepen the party's penetration and ensure a uniform message is disseminated statewide.
Strengthening Presence at the Grassroots

Ojasope concluded by expressing the stakeholders' optimism that diligent implementation of these resolutions would significantly reposition the ADC as a formidable political force in Oyo State, driven by unity, discipline, and strong grassroots ownership.
