David Mark will paddle us to Aso Rock - Pioneer chairman of ADC party speaks at Coalition meeting
The founder and pioneer Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Ralph Nwosu, says former Senate President David Mark is leading the coalition to the Presidential Villa and ex-Governor Rauf Aregbesola as the Secretary.
Speaking at the YarÁdua Centre in Abuja, where the ADC coalition is being unveiled, Nwosu said,
“We all decided to resign so that Mark can paddle this canoe and get us to the Villa.
Nwosu described Aregbesola, estranged ally of Tinubu, as a man of unparalleled service record.
“Nigerians are yearning for change. They are yearning for the coalition. I congratulate you both and assure you that working with the NWC and NEC members you will meet, you have no problem.
I will be talking as a floor member. My job will not end until we sing the national anthem in the Villa. That will be the real hope. Nigeria has been in ICU. Lives are being lost everyday. My appeal to the emerging political leaders is to take Nigeria from the ICU to global reckoning because we can!
We can help Mark and Aregbesola by the way we conduct ourselves. Anybody who says anything against what we’ve done today is not ADC member. We shouldn’t be apologetic. We need to be ready for this battle. More will come, but the way we are we will surmount them.”
Among those who attended the event were former Vice President Atiku Abubakar; Peter Obi, Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 elections; Nasir El-Rufai, former governor of Kaduna; Rotimi Amaechi, former transportation minister; and Emeka Ihedioha, former Imo governor, among others.
