The immediate past National Publicity Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Mabel Oboh, on Wednesday urged other political leaders to emulate the former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie Oyegun, by officially identifying with the ADC to rescue the country.

Recall that Oyegun obtained the membership card of the ADC from the Edo State chairman of the party, Kennedy Odion, in Benin, the state capital, on Tuesday.

Responding to the official welcoming of Oyegun into the party, Oboh said Oyegun has done the needful by officially identifying with the party in his state.

She said Oyegun has set the pace for others who have joined the party to also officially obtain their membership cards from the party in their respective states.

She said the task of rescuing Nigeria from bad leadership, which is the root cause of insecurity, hunger, starvation, inflation, and unemployment, must be done by all, especially patriotic Nigerians who have come to join the ADC.

She further called on the ADC members in Edo State to welcome Oyegun with open arms into the party, as they have a lot to gain from his wealth of experience in the state and national politics.

“I sincerely join my party members in my state, Edo State, precisely to welcome you, Chief John Odigie Oyegun, into the ADC family.

“I have no doubt in my mind that with you in ADC, it is a plus. You are a force to be reckoned with in the state and national politics.

“Your ideas and wealth of experience are what money cannot buy in the market.

“I strongly believe that starting from your state to the national, ADC is going to count on you for your ideas, suggestions and the way to move the party forward in the state and also ensure that come 2027, which is the presidential election, our party, the ADC will be able to take over power from the ruling APC.

“I want to assure you of my utmost support and also join my party in the state to welcome you to ADC,” Oboh said.
