THE crisis rocking the African Democratic Congress (ADC), on Monday took a new twist with the inauguration of a caretaker committee by the National Executive Committee (NEC) for the party.
Mr Kingsley Ogga, the chairman of the forum of state chairmen of the party performed the ceremony in Abuja on Monday.
Ogga said that the inauguration was necessitated by the expiration of the tenure of the former chairman of the party, Chief Ralph Nwosu, urging the committee to direct the activities of the party ahead of the 2023 general elections.
He said that the members of the committee were selected from different parts of the country to ensure geographical spread.
Ogga named some members of the committee to include: Sen. Patricia Akwashiki, Chairperson, Kenneth Odion, Secretary and Anglia Johnson, member.
Speaking, Akwashiki promised to work to ensure smooth running of the party.
“We will try to go into the elections as a united front; no one person is greater than the party.
“We are all part of the party and ADC is supreme, we should all respect ourselves and act according to what is expected of us.
“The law given to us by NEC said six weeks and we will try to work and bring peace to the party within the time given to us.
“We don’t want any crisis in our party, there is no crisis in the party, we are all stronger together and we are solidly behind our candidates,’’ she said.
Akwashiki assured that the party would go out to campaign in unity brining all rift to a peaceful end.
Twenty-seven state chairmen of the party had on Aug.26 passed a Vote of No Confidence on Nwosu, urging him to resign.
