The African Democratic Congress, or ADC, has begun registering in Anambra State and is requesting that all prospective members relocate to their wards in order to take part in the process.
This comes after Mr. Peter Obi, the party’s presidential candidate, declared that the whole South-East is in favor of his goal and insisted that the region’s residents should have the authority to govern the nation.
Speaking to members during the registration flag-off, Obi stated that South-East stakeholders are collaborating with others to make sure the region produces the next President, who will save the nation from poor leadership.
“On this journey, South-East is working as a family,” he stated. Here at ADC are all of the prominent political figures. We are collaborating as a family and communicating with various regions of the nation.
“The goal of this effort is to make Nigeria a workplace by uniting all opposition parties. As a result, you will see members of the political parties collaborating with us.
“We want Nigeria to be a safe country, not the world’s fifth most dangerous nation and the top place where no one wants to be born.”
Additionally, Obi promised to contest the new Electoral Act, claiming that it is aimed at the opposition.
He stated that the Independent National Electoral Commission, or INEC, should focus on conducting a credible election rather than telling parties whose candidates to field.
“We’ve seen every revision of the Electoral Act, and INEC has no right to dictate how parties choose their candidates. It will be contested by some of us. They ought to concentrate on the process of holding elections. They shouldn’t decide to quit their job as referees in order to train a coach in player selection.
“Those who yesterday professed to be Democrats are now the worst despots.” Instead of discussing governance, they are discussing seizing power and abusing it once more, just like they did in 2023.
“They are discussing how to steal election results, but we won’t allow them to do it this time. We are currently the nation with the worst power issue. If they do, we will seize them. They won’t be able to pull it off this time.
“We want to register as many people as possible because the election of 2027 will be against bad leadership,” he said in an appeal for widespread registration.
“They won’t claim that South-East has returned or that it requires power, but they must recognize that South-East is Nigeria and that we are both stakeholders and a part of it.”
“We in the South-East claim to want a new Nigeria, and we are the only people in every region of Nigeria who own their own homes and conduct lawful business.”
“We want to eradicate poverty among Nigerians, and we are confident that doing so will make us safe.
“We want you all to go fishing for men. If they have this and that, they won’t be afraid, so don’t be afraid of what they have. They are aware that their possessions are counterfeit, and we will pursue them all simultaneously.
Senator Ben Obi, who chaired the flag-off event, declared, “I want to assure that no one will be cheated.” Our shared objective is to guarantee Peter Obi’s election to the presidency.
“Everyone is aware that we are working with other regions of Nigeria to make sure of this, but it would not be beneficial for us to cause him any trouble in Anambra. His strongest foundation must be Anambra, and I would like to state that we would set aside time to make sure that everyone in the party is at ease.
“Our shared objective is to ensure Peter Obi’s success, and we will not tolerate anyone acting in a way that is detrimental to the cause.”
Benchuks Nwosu, chairman of the Registration Committee, disclosed that each of the 326 wards will receive 150 cards, and each ward will have one register.
