An opposition political party, the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has announced its entry into Delta State’s political arena, with a pledge to drive quality and purposeful leadership if given the mandate to govern the state in 2027.
Briefing newsmen at the end of a stakeholders’ meeting in Asaba, a leader of the party, Hon Ozeghe Lawrence; alleged that leadership in the country was in the wrong hands and ADC had come to change the narrative and lead the people aright.
He said the revalidation of members and an aggressive membership drive were underway to position the party for serious political activities ahead of the 2027 election, adding that an internal mechanism was in place to handle issues that could lead to factionalism of the party in Delta State.
Hon Ozeghe pointed out that ADC was coming clean without any baggage and would be fielding persons of integrity, who would selflessly serve the people, for the various elective positions, with a view to providing the needed template to rewriting the political history of the country for good.
The party leader explained that competence of would be elected leaders would take precedence over rotation of power, which he noted tended to promote mediocrity and bad leadership.
Another leader, Mr. Anthony Omonigho, said ADC was hoping to produce the next Governor of Delta State come 2027, describing the coalition of political parties that metamorphosed to the party as an unstoppable movement that would be similar to the Obidient Movement of 2023.
Omonigho rated the performance of the Oborevwori administration high, but maintained that Deltans deserved a better deal than they were presently getting considering the huge resources at the disposal of government.
