The former lawmaker who represented Dunukofia Constituency at the Anambra State House of Assembly, Barr. Lawrence Ezeudu together with over 2,000 of his supporters, has been officially received into the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Hon. Ezeudu was also the Chief Whip while speaking at the event held at his residence in Ifitedunu in Dunukofia LGA,
told members that he had never felt an urgent need to join a political party than he felt in joining ADC, saying that he had seen the zeal of the people to change the country.
“Today is my own Pentecost, including all my supporters, because we have been baptized into the ADC.
‘I have never felt a better need to join a political party than my entry into ADC today because it is very obvious that the APC has failed us and we need to buckle up to save the country from finally torpedoing.
‘I want to announce that we in ADC are desperate to change Nigeria, and having taken time to look at the configuration of Nigeria, I can tell you that a new Nigeria is still possible and that is why I’m joining ADC to help effect the change.’
In his address, the Chairman of ADC Party in Anambra State, Mr Patrick Obianyo, confirmed that since former Presidential Candidate of Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi, joined the party on December 31, there has been a huge influx of people into the party.
According to Obianyo, since Mr Peter Obi joined ADC, there have been requests in the party’s offices every day, for them to visit and receive politicians into the party.
“We are here today, in Ifitedunu in Dunukofia Local Government Area to receive Chief Lawrence Ezeudu. Tomorrow we will be in another location and it has continued like that since a month now.
‘We are urging new members to go to their wards and register. It is true that there is online registration but we urge our members to go to the wards where they will be physically captured and be recognized too, as our members.
‘Though membership cards are being deleted daily be new members, but I want to tell you that very soon we will do membership revalidation and then introduce a better features in our cards, and I want to assure that even if the entire 200 million Nigerians join us, we will have enough cards for all,’ Obianyo assured.
