Obasanjo’s ADC reshuffles national leadership

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has announced changes in its
National Working Committee (NWC).

This development was contained in a statement on Thursday by ADC
National Chairman, Chief Ralph Nwosu.

He explained that the reorganisation was in line with the party's
commitment to developing a sustainable political platform to serve as
a model in the country that would produce credible leaders.

The statement said Chief Anayo Arinze, the National Publicity
Secretary since 2008, is now the National Coordinator, Electoral
Matters and INEC liaison.

"Arinze is required to use his wealth of knowledge and experience to
guard electoral matters and INEC relations to ensure that the ADC
leverages on its current position as party of choice to ensure
electoral gains", it noted.

Similarly, Mrs. Yemi Kolapo, the former Deputy National Publicity
Secretary, has been appointed as the National Publicity Secretary.

Dr. Chike Okogwu, a Havard-trained technocrat and human rights
activist, is now Deputy National Chairman, Strategy, Innovation, and
Change.

Also, Justina Abanida, a two-time Secretary to Kogi Government and a
lawyer is the new Deputy National Legal Adviser while Abdul Ogar
(Nasarawa) an activist and one of the chief promoters of Not Too Young
To Run, has been appointed Deputy National Treasurer.

"We are certain that these party leaders are perfect fits and will use
their wealth of experience to build an inclusive and virile political
platform that all members and people of Nigeria will be proud of and
enthusiastic to be part of," the statement added.
