The African Democratic Congress (ADC) gubernatorial candidate in Anambra State, Mr. John Chuma Nwosu, has praised the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for recognizing the David Mark-led National Working Committee (NWC) of the party. This move is seen as a significant development in the state’s political landscape, providing voters with a credible alternative to the existing parties.
According to Nwosu, the recognition of the ADC’s national leadership is a major democratic gesture that comes as a relief to the electorate, who are seeking a trustworthy option. He drew parallels with the state’s political situation in 2003, when the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was the dominant force, and the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) emerged as a viable alternative. However, Nwosu noted that 24 years later, APGA has become complacent in power and is now treating the people with disdain.
The ADC candidate expressed his gratitude towards INEC for demonstrating impartiality in regularizing the party’s leadership. He stated that this development would pave the way for a coalition of patriotic opposition politicians to come together and work towards national rescue. Nwosu dismissed claims that INEC’s decision was part of a larger conspiracy to set up the ADC for judicial destruction, emphasizing that the electoral commission has simply fulfilled its responsibilities.
With the ADC now recognized as a legitimate party, Nwosu believes that voters in Anambra State will have a credible alternative to the existing parties. He emphasized that the party has completed all necessary documentation and is ready to participate in the upcoming elections. The ADC candidate expressed his confidence that the people of Anambra State would exercise their franchise wisely and elect a servant leader, rather than arrogant and opportunistic politicians.
The recognition of the ADC’s leadership is expected to have a significant impact on the state’s political landscape, forcing parties to focus on issue-based campaigns that address the concerns of the people. As the elections approach, the people of Anambra State will have the opportunity to choose a new leader, one who will prioritize their needs and work towards the betterment of the state. With the ADC now in the fray, the state’s political dynamics are likely to undergo a significant shift, providing voters with a fresh alternative to the existing parties.
