The African Democratic Congress (ADC), Sokoto State chapter, has inaugurated 23 local government coordinators to commence membership revalidation across the state.

Inaugurating the coordinators on Monday in Sokoto, the state chairman of the party, Bello Keegan, said the party registration was a significant step in the effort to strengthen the party tentacles.

He said the exercise would also reshape its structure and grow its grassroots base for the upcoming general elections.

Mr Keegan said the party had conducted a statewide stakeholders’ meeting on Sunday and met with some chieftains ahead of a mass rally to be organised as a mark of strength.

Also speaking at the event, the national financial secretary, Akibu Dalhatu, said the exercise would be conducted in all the 244 political wards of the state.

Mr Dalhatu further said the exercise would run concurrently with both e-registration and physical exercise.

“The ADC introduced e-registration exercise with aim to make easier for the people willing to join the party.

“The ADC is well prepared to dislodge the All Progressive Congress (APC) administration at all levels because Nigerians are yearning for an alternative platform to send the APC government packing.

“ADC is the perfect platform to serve as an alternative to the ruling APC which plunged the country into untold hardship courtesy of its bad economic policies,” he said.

Mr Dalhatu called on youth, women and all Nigerians to embrace the ADC for the desired change.
