From Stanley Uzoaru, Owerri
Arrangements are in top gear for a grand reception meant to honour founder and former national chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Chief Ralphs Okey Nwosu.
A member of the Organizing Committee and Imo State Chairman of ADC, Professor James Okoroma, at a media briefing in Owerri, Imo State, said Nwosu has given a good account of himself in national politics and deserved to be honoured by all.
“He has ushered in new values into our democratic space and given Nigeria a new direction by selflessly surrendering a party he founded and built in the interest of the country.”

He said the decision to honour Nwosu was taken by South East leaders and people to honour a son whose efforts had laid a foundation for a new Nigeria.
Okoroma said it was commendable that Nwosu set aside personal ambition and gave up ADC to mobilize Nigerians for a new nation. He appealed to the people of the South East to come out enmasse on a date that would soon be announced to show solidarity to Nwosu.
He further disclosed that the reception will attract former governors, senators, members of the House of Representatives, state Assembly members, civil society organisations, market women, youth organisations and party faithful.
Nwosu recently resigned his chairmanship of ADC unconditionally to pave the way for the emergence of the David Mark-led National Executive Committee (NEC).
