The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has introduced a code of conduct for its public office holders ahead of the 2027 general election. The guidelines, titled "The Orange Book," were formally launched by the party's leadership in Abuja. The document aims to establish standards of accountability for elected representatives of the ADC.
In a joint statement, the party's National Chairman, Senator David Mark, and National Secretary, Rauf Aregbesola, explained that the principles were a response to years of corruption, weakened institutions, and a loss of public trust in elected officials. The party aims to ensure that its leaders conduct themselves with public service values, accountability, and responsible leadership.
ADC officials will be expected to adopt a governance approach centered on service, personal sacrifice, and ethical leadership. The new code of conduct is also a response to public dissatisfaction with unfulfilled political promises, with elected representatives on the ADC platform being held accountable to the people. Bolaji Abdullahi, the party's National Publicity Secretary, described Senator Mark as a driving force behind the party's current direction and emphasized the importance of discipline and accountability among elected representatives.
