In preparation for the state’s local government elections, the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Ebonyi State chapter, has handed membership cards to all 171 of the state’s wards.

Shortly after the exercise, Ebonyi ADC Chairman Dr. Jennifer Nwafor-Adibe addressed reporters at the party’s secretariat and ordered all ward chairmen to mobilize for the party.

Nwafor-Adibe stressed the significance of members collecting their Permanent Voter’s Cards, PVCs, and membership cards to validate their identity as party members and urged those who had not yet fully identified with the party to do so.

Ward chairmen, local government chairmen, youth leaders, and women leaders were present, and she outlined the main points of the meeting.

“So, most of the chairmen have already gotten a local government secretariat, likewise some ward chairmen. And as you can see for yourself, we’ve distributed 171 ward registers to all the ward chairmen for onwards registration and mobilisation, which the ADC is doing.

“All the chairmen have been charged to go down and mobilise the people to our party. Now is the time for you to identify fully if you are for us or you are not for us. So, for those standing on the fence, we are still calling on them to come fully and register into our party.

“Your party card and your PVC is your mandate. Get your party card and PVC because if you have a party card and you don’t have a permanent voter’s card, that means you are not a serious member of our party,” Adibe said.

Chief Fred Onwe, National Vice Chairman of the Diaspora ADC, stated that the party in Ebonyi State is prepared to run in every election.

He said “So, you can see, as the chairman said, we are distributing ward registers donated by one of our stakeholders, we are not playing. So, we are here to partner with our local government chairmen and the youth leaders and all that, so that we know the area we are lagging behind and do more. So, we are here to tell them that we are ready for elections in any capacity ”

The zone organizing secretary, Mrs. Nwotubo Catherine, stated that the state’s ADC was making great efforts to save Nigerians from suffering.

She stated, “We are working hard to see that we come together and rescue Nigeria, because Nigeria is in trouble. So, we are working hard to see that ADC rescues Nigeria from pain and sorrow. That’s why we called this meeting to mobilise people, to tell our people they need to come together and work for ADC,” she said.

The National Coalition Alliance’s National Coordinator, Engineer Dr. Opoke Sunday Andrew, blamed the ruling APC of sinking Nigeria into poverty, instability, and uncertainty, calling ADC a child of circumstance.

According to him, ADC has arrived to provide Nigeria with access to democratic dividends and to save the country from insecurity.

Opoke said, “This is not the country we prayed for. This is not the country we want. In fact, the leadership has plunged the whole entire nation into confusion. And then we are saying ADC has come. As a child of circumstance, to rescue Nigeria from insecurity. At least it’s no longer a news that people are not safe travelling through land, travelling through air.

“In fact, anywhere you move, a lot of people are waiting to kidnap you, to make you product and commodity. In this country now, people are now product and commodity. So if they kidnap you, they make money through you. So we want a situation where we have a country where there will be security, a country where young people can access dividends of democracy, where a child of nobody can get anything without knowing anybody.

“We want a country where poverty will no longer be the order of the day. We want a country where people can travel and come and be secured. We want a country where people from other countries can say good of us. Now we don’t have good image outside here. We want ADC, and ADC is already prepared, fully prepared.

“No matter what anybody will tell you, let the person know that whether they like it or not, ADC has come as a strong opposition to APC. And in the next election, it is going to be Ebonyians and Nigerians against APC.”
