The Interim National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Senator David Mark, has disclosed that the party is committed to upholding the party constitution and will not condone any form of anti-party activities from any member.
He said that the lack of internal democracy is the bane of bad governance in Nigeria, adding that the ADC is seriously working towards ensuring that a level playing ground is provided for all.
Sen. Mark, who was represented by a chieftain of the party, Sen. Abubakar Sadiq Yar’adua, who represented Katsina Central at the National Assembly under the platform of the APC, asserted this during the leadership meeting of the coalition partners in Kaduna at the weekend.
At the meeting, he applauded the leadership of the party in the state for setting a pace for other states to emulate.
While speaking, he assured all party members and other coalition partners of a fair playing ground, urging them to be coordinated, as it is not going to be business as usual.
On the registration of members, David Mark emphasized that the process would be free, fair and credible to accommodate all, just as he added that a mechanism is already in place to checkmate any form of manipulation that is capable of denting the image of the party.
In his opening remarks, the Kaduna State Chairman of the party, Elder Patrick Ambut, disclosed that since the day the coalition was unveiled, membership of the party has continued to swell by the day.
Speaking on the state of the nation vis-a-vis the coalition, he emphasized that Nigeria and Nigerians have never had it so bad as it is now under the leadership of the APC government spanning 2015 till date.
According to him, Nigeria is in a quagmire politically, economically, socially and even psychologically, assuring that the emergence of the coalition has provided a veritable platform to give Nigeria her needed political change.
A former chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who is now a member of the ADC, Salihu Lukman, also said that his former political party has failed Nigeria in providing good governance to the people, just as he stressed that poverty, insecurity and hunger among Nigerians are on the increase, hence the need for a genuine change that the ADC is out to provide to the people.
