ADC: Ex-Senate President, Mark will lead coalition to victory – Ogaji
A Senatorial aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 elections, Hon. Chief Bright Igodo Ogaji, has said the choice of former President of the Senate, Senator David Mark as the Interim National Chairman of African Democratic Congress (ADC), will propel the party to victory in 2027.
This was as Ogaji also backed the newly emerged leadership of the party in Benue State, describing it as a new dawn in the state and Nigeria in general.
Recall that the ADC was officially inaugurated last week in Abuja by major opposition leaders in Nigeria and others from the ruling All Progressives Congress, with Senator Mark as Interim National Chairman, while former Governor of the State of Osun, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola emerged Interim National Secretary.
The party was subsequently launched in Benue State on Wednesday, taking over the Secretariat of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), where former Speaker pro tempore of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Terngu Tsegba, and former Member representing Obi/Oju Federal Constituency, Rt. Hon. Samson Okwu, emerged Interim Chairman and Secretary, respectively.
Reacting, Chief Ogaji, in a statement he personally signed, expressed great confidence in the leadership of ADC, both in Benue and at the National level, urging his supporters to register with the party as a brand new vehicle that would deliver the people to the promised land.
The former Chairman of Oju Local Government Council of Benue State, whose teeming supporters made a powerful representation at the event, specifically extolled the sterling leadership qualities of Senator Mark over the years, describing him as a game-changer that has come through a storm to rescue Nigeria from the shackles of oppression and underdevelopment.
He said, “the new face of ADC (Senator Mark), no doubt, is a game-changer that has come through a storm to rescue Nigeria from the shackles of oppression, underdevelopment and return Benue and Nigeria to a path of inclusive development, prosperity and pride.
“His emergence and those of the Benue leadership, has given birth to a renewed Nigeria destined for growth.”
“I urge all my supporters, home and abroad, to queue behind these great leaders of our land, to make the new party work, for Benue people and Nigerians”, Ogaji said.
