ADC Chair Bans Aspirants Over 55, Pushes for Youth Leadership

Nafiu Bala Gombe, the factional national chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has announced a new rule barring anyone over 55 from contesting party positions. He outlined this during an interview with BBC Hausa. Gombe said the move aims to promote generational change and give young Nigerians a real chance to lead. He emphasized that fresh ideas and energy from the youth are vital for Nigeria’s future. According to Gombe, the ADC belongs to all Nigerians, but the time has come to open the door wider for young candidates, leaders, and decision-makers. This policy reflects the party’s commitment to renewing its leadership and driving progress.
