Anambra Polls: We’re ahead of other parties, says ADP Chairman

By Abuja Reporter

The Action Democratic Party (ADP), says it is ahead of other political parties in the coming Anambra Governorship Election because of its ingenious election strategy.

Mr Sani Yabagi, the party’s National Chairman, said this on Monday at the flag off of the party’s campaign.

Yabaji said that the ingenious strategy had given the party several leaps ahead of the other political parties in the race to the Government House of Anambra State.

“The ADP very early in the day, embarked on a campaign strategy which has proved very effective and without endangering the safety and security of our members, our teeming supporters and the general public.

“Our strategy, fashioned and spearheaded by the party’s flag bearer and his team, is the resort to the painstaking option of interpersonal contacts and door to door campaign.

“We thank and commend our flag bearer, Comrade Ezeoke for bringing up this ingenious strategy which has resulted in giving the ADP several leaps ahead of the other political parties in the race to the Government House, Awka.

“Through that unique mode of campaign, tens of thousands of Anambra People have registered with us and are now card-carrying and financial members of the ADP.

“A greater multitude of the electorate have been mobilized and convinced to buy into the philosophy and programmes of our great party as well as believing in our candidate as the most credible alternative in the election,” he said.

Yabagi said that from 1999 to date, the leadership of Anambra State had been a relay race by which the baton of debauchery, buccaneering, pillaging and subterfuge have been rotating between the PDP and APGA and the APC.

He however said that the tradition was about to change because the people of the state had become wiser and have resolved accordingly to wrest themselves from the shackles that had held down their progress and prosperity.

“The people of Anambra have decided to break away from bondage and to guarantee a happy future for their generations yet unborn.

“Anambra will be great, much greater, with ADP taking its rightful place as the leading light and beacon of hope for the good people of Anambra and with a patriotic, altruistic, focused and honest leadership,” he said.

Yabagi urged the party’s flag bearer, to be mindful of his campaign promises and ensure that he delivers on all assurance given to the people.

“You have fought a gallant war through a grueling campaign that you have undertaking and from the look of every indices, God Almighty, has decided to crown your efforts with success.

” I just need to tell you that to whom much is given, much is expected and as you are poised to take over the mantle of leadership, you should be mindful of your electoral promises to the people that have earned you, their confidence.

“There is a silent, but yet powerful sacred pact between you and the people that you must always remember and strive to fulfill when victory is won,’ he said

In a speech, candidate of the party, Prince Afam Ume-Ezeoke, said that he was not afraid of anybody and any other political party in the race of the Nov. 6 Anambra governorship election.

According to him, I am confident in myself and in my party and I am unafraid of anybody, and any party.

He expressed optimism that the party would emerge victorious at the polls and occupy the government house without contention or election tantrum or scandal.

He promised to deliver on all his campaign promises and to ensure the peaceful conduct of his party members and followers at the polls.
