The governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Enugu State, Obodoeze Ocho, has identified flawed recruitment processes into political offices as the root cause of the prevailing maladministration and economic hardship in the state and across Nigeria. Ocho made this statement during the Enugu North zonal stakeholders' meeting held in Nsukka. He criticized the current procedures for selecting candidates for various positions, citing that the best candidates are often overlooked due to the lack of a level playing field.
Ocho emphasized that the ADC is committed to fielding credible individuals of unquestionable character across all elective positions in the state and Nigeria. He assured that the party's candidates emerge through free and fair means to avoid post-election crises. Ocho described the ADC as one family that will not deceive the people of Enugu, stating that this has been their mantra nationwide. The party's approach to candidate selection is designed to ensure that only the most qualified and capable individuals are presented to the electorate.
The ADC used the stakeholders' meeting to unveil its senatorial candidate for the Enugu North zone, Dr. Ugochukwu Ugwuanyi. The party's chairman in Enugu State, Chris Eze, a retired Nigerian Army general, explained that the delay in unveiling the candidate was to ensure a thorough vetting process. General Eze emphasized that the party prioritizes selecting candidates who stand out from their opponents in the zone. He assured that the party does not compromise on the selection process, providing an undiluted platform for the emergence of its candidates.
