Problem of ADC National Chairman , Constitutional not Personal – Dumebi Kachikwu

By Georgina Humphrey

Presidential Candidate of the African Democratic Congress, Dumebi Kachikwu, says the problem with the National Chairman of the party, Chief Ralph Okey Nwosu is not personal but constitutional.

Kachikwu stated this during an interactive with state Chairmen of the party in Abuja.

He therefore said that he will use legal means to fight for the party and its interests.

“I want our party to understand that my issues with the immediate past Chairman are not personal, my issues are fundamental to our constitution”

“ Evil always thrives when good men keep quiet”.

He explained that as long as he remains the presidential candidate of the party, no one will sell their mandate

“The easiest thing for me to do as the presidential candidate of this party is to keep quiet. But what of the other people who cannot speak up and fight, who speaks for them? When I came into this party, I came in here determined to run a race, I came in here because Nigeria is on fire, I wanted to lead a rescue mission.

“I can look the other way and leave Nigeria, but that’s not an option for me. With what’s happening in Nigeria, you would wonder why our party would want to take the next year election lightly.”

Kachikwu warned candidates vying for various positions in the party against selling their mandates, urging them to run their race with diligence and commitment.

“Run your race even if you get one vote, run your race, that experience is rich. You may get zero votes in this election and next, run your race don’t give up, one day Nigerians will hear your message. Don’t let anybody deceive you, this party is not for sale.

Kachikwu told opposition parties that anyone proposing to sell the party to them should reject it because the party is not for sale.

“Negotiations were done with APC, this is my message to them, you are wasting your time. If you gave anybody money, collect your money, the same goes with PDP. Labour Party, you don’t give ‘shishi,’ we don’t sell ‘shishi.”
