Adolphus Nduneweh Wabara, born on June 1, 1948, in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria, is a distinguished Nigerian politician and diplomat. Raised by parents deeply involved in public service and business, his educational journey began at Methodist Boys’ High School in Lagos before receiving a Federal scholarship to study in the Soviet Union. At Kyiv State University, he excelled, earning a Master of Arts in International Relations with distinction and honing his skills further with a Post-Graduate Diploma in the Russian Language from Voronezh University.

Wabara's career spans diplomacy, business, and politics. He served at the Nigerian Embassy in London and as Head of Chancery in Chad before transitioning into business, including a stint as Assistant General Manager at Apapa Trawlers under the Ibru Organization. His entry into Nigerian politics began with the National Republican Convention (NRC), where he successfully represented Ukwa East Local Government Area, Abia State, as a member of the House of Representatives during the 3rd Republic.

His tenure as the 4th Senate President from 2003 to 2005 during Nigeria’s 4th Republic was marked by pivotal moments and principled leadership. Wabara's leadership was instrumental in advancing Nigeria's democratic institutions and resisting pressures, notably rejecting a ₦250 million bribe aimed at influencing support for the controversial third-term agenda proposed under President Olusegun Obasanjo's administration. His steadfast commitment to democratic values and integrity solidified his legacy as a defender of Nigeria’s nascent democracy.
