It is recalled that the Coalition of United Political Parties(CUPP) had recently adopted Abubakar Atiku, as its its joint presidential candidate, a development embraced by the African Democratic Congress(ADC)

The party scribe said African Democratic Congress(ADC) main priority was the wellbeing of Nigerians, stating that the  party with integrity, would always abide with the provisions of the coalition Memorandum of Understanding.

He also assured members, stakeholders and supporters that all grey areas would be addressed to ensure that all African Democratic Congress (ADC) votes were protected in the National Assembly and other elections.

Penpushing further reports that, Nwosu boasted that, the party’s candidates for other electives posts bot at states and federal levels  would defeat the ruling and other parties in 2019 general elections.

He also explained that, the National Chairman had earlier explained that all Presidential aspirants had been properly briefed before the primary on the decision of the party to adhere strictly to the provisions of the Memorandum of Understanding between the party and Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP).

“Our Presidential aspirants were properly briefed before and during the screening exercise for the primary. We made it clear to them that they, and Presidential candidates of other member parties would have to go into the CUPP basket from where the best would emerge, based on consensus’.

‘We made it clear that the party would uphold the decision of CUPP even if they eventually did not make it, because our first priority is to deliver the nation from the hands of the ruling party, and no one can do it alone,” he said.

“Since our guide, former President Olusegun Obasanjo, has adopted ADC and played a critical role in the formation of CUPP, we have decided that we will follow the directions given by the Coalition team because we believe they are people of integrity. Our candidate will also respect that decision,” Nwosu added.

On his own contributions, Dr. Chike Okogwu, who is the Deputy National Chairman, Strategy, Innovation, and Change said, “the ruling government has failed the nation, especially in the management of our economy’

‘How can the Federal Government earn about N8.4 trillion but spend N6.4 trillion on fuel importation, thus needing to borrow money to pay salaries and provide unsustainable infrastructure projects?

“The candidate of CUPP will ensure local governments in Nigeria go into generating 30MW of power from either of solar, wind, hydro, gas, coal, and waste dumpsites, among others. Improved power generation will drive innovation and industrialisation.”

The Chairaman boasted that, African Democratic Congress (ADC) currently parade over five million card-carrying members across all the states of the federation, noting that the fund raising dinner and awards ceremony was to garner support and evolve a people-oriented party that would effectively respond to the quest for best political leadership that would lead to the realisation of the aspirations of the founding fathers of the country.

‘We are a members-driven party that gives priority to participation of members in the decision making process. Through our different strategies, we have been able to achieve a membership base of over five million due-paying members,” he said.

He commended the Zonal and State Executive officers of the party’s for their commitment to the growth and advancement of African Democratic Congress (ADC), “within four months, pointing out that, the party grew from having only one Bayelsa State House of Assembly member to having over 115 elected political office holders.”
