ADC youth leader dumps party with over 50,000 loyalists
National Youth Leader of African Democratic Congress ( ADC), Barr. Maurice Ebam, on Thursday resigned his membership with about 50,000 loyalists.
Ebam’s resignation is coming about three weeks after a presidential aspirant Kingsley Moghalu dumped the party over alleged poor handling of the primary elections held in Abeokuta.
According to a letter which was made available to Periscope Nigeria and addressed to the National Chairman, Ebam said the party had been a training ground for him.
Ebam said, “The ADC DNA is in my system. ADC has been a learning school for me. did not just serve; I also learnt. It is a platform that has given opportunity to young people who are willing and I was given an opportunity to serve and served. It is clearly documented and posterity bears witness.
“It is with mixed feelings that I resign my membership of ADC. While served both as a member and youth leader, I sacrificed my time and resources, and even put my career on the hold willingly and selflessly to the cause of nation building with ADC as the platform. Now its time to contribute to nation building, albeit on another platform.”
Ebam promised to provide relevant assistances, revealing that he would leave the party with his foot soldiers.
“I have gather over 50,000 passionate, organic and dedicated grassroot youths that will be moving with me following my consultation with youths from diverse strata, and various youth movement, and we have all unanimously concluded that decamping from ADC is the best option at this time.
“This is not a goodbye letter, as I will be available to render assistance to the best of my ability, when beckoned on. Please, accept the assurance of my best wishes,” Ebam added.
