2019: ADP declares free nomination forms for disabled, women

The Action Democratic Party (ADP) has resolved to give free nomination forms to women and Persons Living with Disabilities interested in contesting elections in the 2019 general elections.
The party said the step is to demonstrate its commitment to the provision of an all inclusive government and democratic empowerment of women and the youths as enshrined in its cardinal principles.
Speaking yesterday at the national secretariat of the party in Abuja, when one of the governorship aspirants, Barrister Obioma Success, picked his nomination form, the ADP National Organising Secretary, Dr. Lynn Olisa, said her party is determined to turn around the fortune of the country and be fair to all and sundry.
Olisa also revealed that the party had since commenced its membership registration drive in all the wards and polling units across the country and that the ADP would feature candidates for elections at all levels in the 2019 general elections.
Also speaking, ADP’s National Secretary, Dr. James Okoroma, said the party was formed to bring about emergence of a new crop of leaders who will actualize the dreams of Nigeria’s founding fathers.
Okoroma said: “Even in our country Nigeria, all of you will agree with me that this is not the country Zik, Balewa and Obafemi Awolowo founded.
You will agree with me that ideals of these founding fathers have been betrayed and I believe that what we need now is a platform like ADP that will give room for emergence of new crop of leaders, who will give Nigeria a better direction.
That is why we are here, ADP is a platform that will allow Nigerians, irrespective of their race and religion to build our country.” While commenting on Barrister Succes’s interest to be the next hovernor in Imo state, Okoroma said: “Imo state was created in 1976.
The first civilian governor was Chief Sam Mbakwe.
But since he left as governor, leadership has collapsed in Imo state.
All the governors we have had, none has been able to offer effective leadership.
So, the ground is rife in Imo for a good change and I believe Barr.
Success will be an agent in that direction.” In his remarks, the governorship aspirant promised to reconcile the Imo people with God if given the opportunity as the next governor.
“I have always told whoever cares to listen that I’m coming from a direction God himself is leading.
I want to take my answer from the word of God.
My mission is to rebuild Imo state, my mission is to restore the presence of God to Imo state and reconcile the people of the state to God.
When asked what the incumbent Governor, Rochas Okorocha has not done well that he would want to correct, Barrister Success simply said: “The governor now has a lot of good ideas, but I will transform them to reality.”
