Action Democratic Party (ADP), one of the newly registered political parties, says the All Progressive Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will be shocked in the 2019 general elections.
The National Chairman, Engr. Yusuf Yabagi Sani, spoke with newsmen
yesterday in Abuja at the party’s national secretariat after its
National Executive Committee’s meeting.
“We are prepared for the coming elections. Even before the INEC
Chairman said the commission was prepared for the election, we were
prepared; our members in various states are just waiting patiently for
this day, registration and collection of our certificate of
registration, which has come’’, he said.
“Believe you me we are ready because Nigerians are ready for the real
change and not the cosmetic change that you have been seeing that have
plunged us into what we are seeing today.
“We believe that all Nigerians have been waiting for us and this is
the beginning the journey to greatness, a great nation, a safe place
where you can live anywhere and do business anywhere. In Anambra State
governorship election and other elections that are coming, you will see
wonders”, he added.
Sani said the party would not allow impunity to grow and destroy it
like it did to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and is now doing to
the APC.
“Political parties as institutions have been taken for granted.
Before we thought it was just a platform that people can use to run for
an election but parties like APC and PDP are destroying the principles
of political parties”.
“We have realized that it is unthinkable to talk about democracy
without talking of political parties. Which means that political parties
have the responsibility to make sure that democracy is entrenched and
managed professionally.
“You don’t leave political parties in the hands of lame men or
dropouts. Educated and enlightened people should manage political
parties because whatever they do affects everybody. Let all Nigerians
come together to rescue Nigeria”, he stated.
