Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Ebonyi State chapter, Dr. Jenifer Adibe Nwafor, has disclosed that the coalition party will halt the uncertainty and austerity ravaging the country, if elected into power in 2027.
She made this known when she received over 2,000 members of the All Progressive Congress (APC), the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the Labour Party (LP) and others that have abandoned their various organisations for the APC at Isu in Onicha Local Government Area.
“This is the time to take our destinies in our hands, fight for our future and that of our children. On this note, ADC has come to provide the citizenry with all their needs such as welfare, quality healthcare and basic social amenities.
“The era where the masses are usually forgotten by the elected persons will not be seen because ADC is all about caring for one another and making a positive change. Additionally, the period where some persons die of preventable diseases won’t be experienced under ADC.”
Dr. Nwafor applauded the new members at Amanator ward for taking such a bold step and assured that they would be carried along adequately while the party would not leave its manifestos unfulfilled.

She charged them to continue preaching the party as a gospel across 171 political wards of the state to prevent Nigeria from becoming a country of one party system.
One of the new members and former coordinator of Onicha Development Centre, Mr. Moses Odii Nweze, said his defection was caused by the internal crisis that had destabilised his former party.
Mr. Nweze who is also the former national youth leader of PDP South East zone disclosed that some intruders had destroyed the party in such a way that it is facing over 20 litigations in various law courts across the nation.
“It was after I have seen the faces of those who want the progress of Nigeria that I decided to join the liberation squad and presently, ADC is the only alternative,” he said.
Chairmen of ADC, Onicha LGA and Amanator Ward, Mr. Charles Uzor and Nelson Okonkwo Nwadibia respectively said the mass defection from other parties was caused by the unpleasant leadership of the ruling party and urged the new members to remain resolute.
The party has pegged the cost of form for the forthcoming local government chairmanship election at N500,000, N250,000 for councillorship and free forms for women.
