The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has branded itself as the most credible alternative political party to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) that can produce a technocrat, expert and visionary president if given a chance in the 2023 presidential election.
The party’s national chairman Ralph Nwosu made this claim on Thursday.
While describing the ADC as a grassroots party, he said it flaunts a strong youth force made up of young, urban professionals with the capacity to pursue a just cause.
He said that as the country was gearing toward the 2023 general elections, many powerful and prominent technocrats and experts in their chosen fields were beginning to identify with the party and its vision.
According to him, no doubt, ADC is the most credible alternative political party that can produce the next president of Nigeria.
In his words, “As we all know, ADC is a strong political party that has stood the test of time and remains a powerful youth base and grassroots oriented party. As we gear toward 2023, we are beginning to receive calls from highly respected Nigerians who have at one point or the other, held public offices and delivered on its mandates.
“Over 10 experts and technocrats with excellent record of service in the public sector and others with outstanding passion and services to humanity have signified interest to contest for president on our platform, the ADC.”
Mr Nwosu mentioned that the party’s door “is open” to potential presidential aspirants.
“Regardless of the number of aspirants that have bought the party’s form, we will field our best aspirant and the people’s choice,” noted the ADC chair.
“We will give him or her all the support needed to contest and win the election.”
Nwosu, however, urged Nigerians to allow visionary technocrats and economic experts to revive the nation come 2023.
He urged Nigerians, especially youths to get involved and participate actively in all electoral processes to have a say in government at all levels.
The ADC boss also encouraged those without Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to get registered and acquire PVCs to vote at the 2023 general polls.
