Senior officials from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) have inaugurated a new National Mobilisation Office in the central city of Jos, Plateau State, in a move signalling the party’s intensified preparations for future elections.

The high-profile event on Thursday saw party leaders, including prominent figures like former Kaduna State Governor, Nasiru El-Rufai, rallying supporters and directly addressing the nation’s youth.

The new office in Jos is designated as a central hub for the party’s grassroots recruitment and strategy efforts, a key part of the ADC’s plan to position itself as a viable third force in the Nigerian political landscape.

A central theme of the unveiling was the role of young Nigerians in governance. In a speech that drew cheers from the crowd, former Governor El-Rufai delivered a forceful message, encouraging the youth to take an active role in shaping the country’s future.

“We can no longer sit on the sidelines and complain,” Mr. El-Rufai was quoted as saying. “The energy, innovation, and passion of our young people are the nation’s greatest untapped resource.

This mobilisation office is not just a building; it is a call to action. It is here to harness that potential and channel it into meaningful political change.

“He emphasised that the ADC provides a platform for a new generation of leaders disillusioned with the established political order.

Other national officials present at the event described the choice of Jos, the capital of the politically significant “Middle Belt” region, as a strategic one.

They stated it underscores the party’s commitment to national outreach and building a broad-based coalition.

“The unveiling of this office in the heart of Nigeria is a clear statement of intent,” said one party chairman.

“We are building from the ground up, and we are starting here, listening to the people and addressing their specific needs.

“The ADC Plateau state has been working to increase national profile, and the establishment of a dedicated mobilisation office, backed by high-level figures, is seen as a concrete step in that direction.

Political analysts suggest that attracting well-known personalities like El-Rufai and focusing on youth engagement could help the party build the momentum it needs to challenge Nigeria’s two dominant parties in upcoming electoral cycles.

The event concluded with a rally, where supporters expressed optimism that the new office would mark a turning point for the party.
