I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Mr. Okpah Okolie Stephen for his exemplary performance as the ADC Councilorship candidate in Aniocha North. Your remarkable success in emerging second, surpassing both the APC and LP, stands as a powerful affirmation yet again that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has firmly established its presence in Delta State. This achievement is a testament to your dedication and hard work, especially in the face of the PDP’s money politics, which exploits the poverty of the electorate for political gain.
Your strong showing in Aniocha North LGA irrespective is not only commendable but also significant as we move towards greater autonomy for local government areas. It underscores the resilience and potential of the ADC in fostering democratic principles, advocating for electoral reforms, and striving for the restructuring of the federation. Your graciousness in congratulating your opponent demonstrates your deep commitment to democratic values and sets a high standard for political conduct. I join you in congratulating them.
We, in the ADC are proud of you and we will persist in promoting and practicing democratic civility while remaining steadfast in our quest for comprehensive electoral and political reforms. Your exemplary leadership and unwavering dedication to our cause inspire us all to continue working towards a more democratic and just society.
Thank you all ADC candidates in the just concluded LGA elections for your outstanding contributions to our party and for embodying the principles and values we hold dear.
Hon. Dr. Kenneth Chibuogwu Gbandi is the Deputy National Chairman (Diaspora Engagement), African Democratic Congress (ADC) /Senatorial Candidate for Delta North in the 2023 General Election
