The National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Chief
Ralph Nwosu, Saturday declared that former President Olusegun Obasanjo
is not a member of the party but only playing advisory role to the
party.
Speaking at the party national convention held at the WOLDIF
centre in Osogbo, Osun state, Chief Nwosu stated that, Obasanjo as the
party adviser would however help in moving the party forward because
of his wealth of experience in the building of political party.
He remarked, ““Obasanjo is a highly influential former President and he
is on a first name basis with most world leaders and former
presidents. It is a good thing to have such a person guiding us.
“There is no person around that has such influence like him. We went
somewhere one time and there were over 12 African presidents on a
queue waiting to discuss with him.
We are lucky to have him.” ”
Infact, we are lucky in ADC that he is our guidance and adviser.Let me
state this, former President Olusegun Obasanjo is not a member of the
ADC. But he has chosen to guide us and to advise us, so that we will
no go the way of other political parties.”
” His choice of advising
and guiding the party on what to do and how to build a strong and
disciplined party is even a plus to the growth of the party.
The national chairman of the party who assured people of the state that
the party would not let them down if they cast their votes for the
party candidate,Alhaji Fatai Akinbade in the state and his running
mate, Justice Olamide Oloyede ( retd), described ADC as party of all.
In her speech, a national women leader of the party, Senator Monsurat
Sunmonu explained reason why he left the ruling party to join a party
that is just growing.
“The difference between me and others that left
the ruling party together is that while they were after defending
their personal interests I was only interested in building the nation
that was why I came to ADC and not any other known parties”, she added
