The governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Anambra State, Mr. John Chuma Nwosu, has lauded the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for regularising the David Mark-led National Working Committee (NWC) of the party.
Nwosu described INEC’s prompt recognition of the party’s leadership as a significant democratic gesture for Anambra voters, noting that it came at a time when the electorate is seeking a credible alternative.
He recalled that voters in the state were facing a political situation similar to 2003, when the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) “grew wanton with impunity as the only platform.”
Dismissing claims that INEC was working to set up the ADC for judicial failure, Nwosu said conspiracy theories had no place in the exercise of democratic rights and responsibilities.
“There is no hidden agenda. ADC has come to stay; all necessary documentation has been completed, and the Commission has done what is required,” he said.
According to him, Anambra voters now have a credible option beyond “old, spoilt platforms that have taken the masses for a ride.”
Nwosu expressed optimism that the November 8 governorship election would give the people an opportunity to elect “a servant leader and not arrogant mischief makers and opportunists.”
He added that INEC’s decision would compel political parties in the state to focus their campaigns on issues that matter to the people.
