Nigerians Are Suffering Wrong Choice Of Leaders -ADC

The Chairman of the African Democratic Congress, Stella Chukwuma, says that Nigerians are suffering the repercussion of wrong choice of leaders both at the federal and state level.

She disclosed this to the News Agency of Nigeria in Enugu on Friday at the party secretariat of ADC in Enugu State.

Chukwuma said the problems created by leaders under the platforms of the People’s Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress was as a result of wrong choice of the electorates whenever they headed for the poll.

She said: “PDP was in power for 16 years and could not point to tangible projects that they achieved but what we got instead was outright impunity and diversion of resources. Because people were fed up with PDP’s misrule, some people came together to form APC and sold to us the change mantra. Unfortunately, the change they promised us is what we are all witnessing today in terms of economic downturn and wrong policies.

The Chairman however, said a respite had come for Nigerians with the advent of ADC because the party was a grassroots party where everyone was a major stakeholder.

Chukwuma added that the structure of ADC was built on the core values of sincerity and credibility and aimed to set Nigeria on the right path of true internal democracy.

According to her, if ADC is given a chance during the 2019 general election, it will right the wrongs and help harness the different natural resources God had endowed Nigeria. 

“We will, for example in Enugu State, revive the moribund Anambra Vegetable Oli Product at Nachi in Udi and build factories that will make use of our locally produced products in large quantity as a way to generate IGR.

“When you vote people who do not have a definite plan but just to protect the interest of a few, we will continue to suffer for it.” She added

The Chairman affirmed that ADC had adopted the direct primary system as it intended to conduct its primaries between September 25 and October 6.
