The Chairman of African Democratic Congress( ADC) in Ebonyi State, Dr. Mrs. Jennifer Nwafor, has dismissed insinuations in some quarters that she was a mole and planted in the party by the ruling All Progressive Congress(APC) in the State.

Dr. Mrs Jennifer disclosed this during an interview with journalists in ADC’s office in Abakaliki.

She called on other coalition partners in Ebonyi State to unite in order to win future elections so as to bring the needed change Nigerians were yarning for.

While speaking on the state affairs of the party, Adibe said, ” in Ebonyi State, just like what is going on in every other states, after the announcement by the coalition partners, we went back to our drawing board to see how we can do everything we can to proceed. You know, what we are doing now is no longer what we used to do. Because now we are now going down the grassroots to get more people.

The ADC chairman in Ebonyi State revealed that since the announcement of coalition, the party has been interfacing with other coalition partners in order to reposition and streghten the party, “Many people have been calling, many have been registering. At least within these four days, we registered more than 2,000 members. So, many are still calling, many are still needing to register.

“Because they want a change in Nigeria. And it’s a very good thing. So, the party has been doing everything possible to bring all our coalition partners together, especially those from Ebonyi State. So, we’ve been meeting, we’ve been interfacing, and then we see how we can nip everything on the bud.

According to her, plans are underways for a program in order to create awareness of the party.

“Like this week now, we have meetings with the stakeholders, that is, with our coalition partners. So, after that, we will do a lot of programs and more of awareness. So that people will know that, yes, this is truly the ADC. ADC is not two in Ebonyi State. And we don’t have two ADCs in Nigeria. It’s only one ADC.

“So, ADC is a political party. So, all the groups, the NGOs that are coming in, everybody will be under one umbrella, which is the ADC. So, now we are also planning programs, like people that want to defect officially. So, very soon it will be happening. So, fully testing of microphones. So, you see the people, they will come and defect officially to our party.

“Then, if you are in Labor and you are joining ADC, PDP, or any party and you are joining ADC, it’s not me that you are joining in this party. So, if you are in ADC, you are in ADC. So, come out openly and then make your declaration that you are not in ADC.

She further dismissed rumour to betray the party over the allegations of working for the ruling APC in the State, adding that nobody was sponsoring her.

“I’m not willing to betray our party, the ADC. So, we are willing to support ADC to the end, in every state and in Nigeria. So, nobody is sponsoring ADC. Like I said, I’ve been the Chairman, but I did my Congress in May 2022. I think our next Congress will be coming up next year too.

“So, I’ve been the State Chairman. Now, I’m not just a State Chairman, I’ve been the State Chairman before now. So, it is, you know, they said everything has been designed. So, we do everything we can to make sure that the party is successful in the upcoming elections”,

“I’m not willing to betray our party, the ADC. So, we are willing to support ADC to the end, in every state and in Nigeria. So, nobody is sponsoring ADC. Like I said, I’ve been the Chairman, but I did my Congress in May 2022. I think our next Congress will be coming up next year too.

“So, we do everything we can to make sure that the party is successful in the upcoming elections. Even though now is not a time for elections. And this is not a time to do campaign. Because the people are already working, it’s time for governance. Now it’s time to go down the grass roots.

“This time around, we are getting people to know about ADC. The policies and programs that ADC wants to offer to the citizens. That is what we are doing now. Okay.

“Like I said, I’ve been the State Chairman of ADC. am not a mole, I’ve been a State Chairman. I’m not planted by anybody. Nobody has even called me concerning the party. You know that I’m a State Chairman of ADC. And that I’m a State Chairman of a party does not mean that if I see somebody, I will start pursuing the person”, she said.
