The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has been praised by Mr. John Chuma Nwosu, the African Democratic Congress’ (ADC) candidate for governor of Anambra State, for regularizing the party’s National Working Committee (NWC), which is managed by David Mark.
He emphasized that the development came as a much-needed relief at a time when the electorate was looking for a legitimate alternative and added that the swift recognition of the ADC’s national leadership was a significant democratic gesture for Anambra voters.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its leadership grew wanton with impunity as the only platform in 2003, and Nwosu revealed that voters in Anambra State were in a similar political situation.
“If you recall, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) appeared as the alternative, and the Anambra people embraced the party with both hands.
“Now, 24 years down the line, the same APGA has become inebriated with power and has started treating the people with disdain.
“But, as the light of the nation, God has remembered the state again. And, INEC has demonstrated patriotic impartiality by regularising the leadership of ADC.
“So, I can tell you that the coalition of patriotic opposition politicians would gather in Anambra to begin the journey of national rescue,” the ADC standard bearer stated.
Conspiracy theories have no place in the exercise of democratic rights and responsibilities, according to Nwosu, who rejected assertions made by some that the election umpire was only acting out a script to set up ADC for judicial destruction.
He stated: “There is no hidden agenda. ADC has come to be; all necessary documentation has been done, and the commission has done what it should.
“Voters now have a credible alternative to the old spoilt platforms that have been taking the masses for a ride.
“On November 8, Anambra people will have room enough to exercise their franchise and elect their governor, a servant leader and not arrogant mischief makers and opportunists.
“This thing that INEC has done will force all political parties to pursue campaigns based on issues that are relevant to the people.”
