“What is important and what ADC is fighting for is to allow the process of an electioneering that will be clean and credible.

“They say we don’t have governors, ministers, they say we don’t have senators now we have, they used to say we don’t have some Rep members, now we have and organically people are contributing their resources.
“ADC is a political party that is focused, we don’t engage in distracting arguments or discussions, we know the direction that we are going and we are following a leader who has the capacity to be followed”, he added.
