Ahead of the 2023 general election, African Democratic Congress (ADC), has said they have no plan to align with any political party to win an election.
ADC Presidential Candidate, Mr Dumebi Kachikwu said this at an interactive forum with the party’s 2023 candidates and state chairmen on Thursday in Abuja.
He appealed to the candidates not to engage in anti-party activities or join the party’s distractors to tarnish its image and that of its candidates.
Kachikwu said that although the party might not make much impact at the election, it would use it gather relevant experience for future elections.
He advised the party’s candidates not to sell their mandates for fear of not getting votes in the 2023 general election, urging them to contest against all odds to garner vital experience for the future.
“Our party has proven to be a great party and the most suitable alternative in 2023 that is why everyone is fighting to belong here.
“There is a reason why we all decided to run this race and that reason is to better Nigeria, so don’t allow anybody to buy your mandate for their selfish interest.
“I urge you all candidates to run your race, because even If you don’t get any vote at the poll, the experience of contesting at a general election is key for your future winning.
“Don’t sell your mandates to anyone, sustain it, sustain your logic, sustain your dream for hope and change, and stay on track because that’s what ADC stands for.
“We know that in the coming election you might not get any vote or you may get one vote and in the next election you might get 10 votes, but you must persist.
“As long as you are persistent with your message of hope, change and liberation, Nigerians will hear you loud and clear one day.”
