The governorship candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, in the 2023 election in Enugu State, Ray Kene Ogbodo has commended the new opposition coalition for the adoption of African Democratic Congress, ADC.
He described the movement as the platform to end hunger, insecurity, bad governance, inadequate leadership and move Nigeria forward.
Ogbodo, who gave the commendation through a press release issued by his media aide, Mr Azubuike Akam, urged the suffering Nigerians not to despair as things would improve and change with the new opposition coalition if voted into power by 2027.
“Within the group, there are notable individuals who will hold each other accountable because some of them have been there before, made some mistakes and now want to do it right and better,” he said.
He said that the vision of the opposition coalition aligned with that of his, adding that he would support any group and policy that would bring the Nigeria people out of abject poverty.
Ogbodo described the Acting National Chairman of ADC, Senator David Mark’s inaugural speech as hopeful, inspiring, powerful, and magnificent.
The AAC Guber candidate in 2023 called on Nigerians of goodwill to join and support the opposition coalition programmes and policies under ADC, adding that “no single party or individual will succeed in defeating the APC-led bad government without deliberate support of the citizenry.”
Ogbodo said he would support the opposition coalition to deliver good governance to the people and hold the government accountable where necessary.
He said: “I encourage Nigerians to remain hopeful in the face of the current economic realities in the land, caused mainly by bad governance, leadership failure, poor economic growth, and development.
“I sincerely appreciate the endurance and perseverance of Nigerians over the years; poverty shouldn’t be an option.
“The main goal for the opposition coalition is to lift many people out of abject poverty of the pocket, mind, body, and soul.
“The mission is to develop Nigeria and to reposition the country on the part of growth, while lifting many people out of abject poverty, and from hopelessness to complete hopefulness.
“The focus is to build a multi-facet economy, modern infrastructure in urban and rural areas, focus on developing the agricultural sector, diversifying the energy sector by investing in renewable energy, improving the transport system, delivering a cleaner environment that would forestall the effect of climate change, creating a welcoming environment that will make Nigeria the destination of choice for tourist and investors.”
