From CHARLES ONYEKWERE
National Convener of Turn By Turn Initiatives, Comrade Ben Nworie has declared himself the Interim National Vice Chairman of African Democratic Congress, ADC, South East zone.
Briefing newsmen yesterday in Abuja, Nworie noted that the zone needs a vocal and vibrant politician who would advance the fortunes of the coalition.
Also, an Abia State born media expert, Mr Obinna George emerged the South East Zonal Publicity Secretary.
George is expected to deploy his media expertise in propagating the activities of ADC in the zone.
Nworie said his decision to become the interim national vice chairman is to galvanise the support of the people of the zone to join the political revolution for a prosperous nation.
According to him, “my burning desire to become the interim national vice chairman of the African Democratic Party, South East zone is to galvanise support for our great party. ADC is not just a coalition, but a political revolution that will end the decade of misrule by the present government.
“ADC stands a better opportunity to rescue Nigeria from the present economic hardship and forge a common front towards advancing the future of a new Nigeria. Let me state categorically that a coalition brought the present government to power and the same coalition will sack it.
“I want to urge the people of the South East to embrace ADC as the only veritable platform that will address decades of marginalisation, depression and neglect. It is time for us to speak in one voice and support the movement. It is time for the zone to stand up to be counted as the movers and shakers of the coalition.
“As the national vice chairman of ADC, I accept the responsibilty to lead our dear party in the zone and I want to declare that our coalition is open to every Nigerian who is passionate to change the old order, where all critical sectors will be functional.
“I commend our Interim National Chairman, Senator David Mark; Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and indeed other national leaders who are sacrificing a lot to ensure that Nigeria is liberated from the shackles of poverty, which has become our fair share of the national cake.
“I want to thank all our members across the five states of the South East for your resilience, deep commitment and sacrifices in promoting and galvanising support for our party”.
He appealed to all aggrieved members to withdraw litigations in the overall interest of the people whose only hope for a better nation rests on ADC.
