elections by looking inward for ideas and options for a better performance of
the party at all levels of the next electoral process.
Chief Nwosu, who was represented
by the Deputy National President, Diaspora Network, Mr. Kenneth Gbandi, noted

the two leading political parties, the APC and PDP, and urged party faithful to
brace up for the task, which he admitted would not be an easy one.

ADC in Delta for ensuring that the party remained united and appealed to
members of the party in the state to close ranks and work together in the
overall interest of the party.

APC and PDP, insisting that the time had come for the party to take over power
at the center and fix the numerous socioeconomic and security challenges facing
the country.

ADC, Prince Joe Chukwu, said the party was made up of dedicated and energetic
members determined to transform Nigeria and guarantee a brighter future for the

opposed to imposition of candidates for elective positions.
