Mark: ADC Will Be Absolutely Transparent, Party Has No Preferred Presidential Aspirant

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) Interim National Chairman, Senator David Mark, has assured Nigerians that under his leadership, the party would be “absolutely transparent.

“The ADC has no preferred or favorite presidential aspirant but has set out to first put out a platform that would be attractive and acceptable to majority of Nigerians.

“We are doing this because we do not want this great ship called Nigeria to sink because if we do not rise up, and now, they will sink all of us,” he counseled.

Mark, who stated this while addressing the stakeholders of the Kogi State chapter of the ADC at a meeting in Abuja, noted that all the members of the party are “equal stakeholders. Equal joiners, Equal owners “.

“I don’t own this party more than any of our members and I urge all members to prepare to show Nigerians that ADC is a different party.

“A different party that is ready to properly run democracy in our country. All Nigerians must come together and take ownership of the ADC,” he added.

He urged members to put their differences aside and work as a team, adding that, “we must bond together to build the party before we can talk of ambitions.”

He charged the members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to stop attacking individuals but should concentrate on their policy failures which the ADC has raised.

“If they admitted that insecurity is bad and they promised Nigerians that they would improve on it but have made it worse, would Nigerians continue to support them? The answer is No.

“Let us continue to work to rebuild our nation and bring out her best in the overall interest of the future generations,” he submitted.

Also yesterday, the ADC accused the APC of deceiving Nigerians by using the names of non-ADC members to file a suit against the party and its interim leadership.

The party alleged that the names which the APC used to file their suit were neither in the ADC physical nor digital registers in Kogi or Nasarawa State.

“It smacks of desperation that a party elected in charge of the lives of no fewer than 200 million people can engage in shopping for the names of its citizens in pursuit of Machiavellian politics.

Meanwhile, the National Legal Support Group for ADC has expressed its readiness to represent the ADC in the courts over the matter filed against the party and its interim officers.

Making this revelation in Abuja yesterday, the leader of the group, Barrister Mohammed Sheriff, said no fewer than 97 Lawyers have indicated their preparedness to stand for the party.
