It is we Nigerians that will rescue ourselves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am joining the ADC because I am tired of hunger, it is no longer hunger but starvation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA bag of rice that was N7000 in the time of former President Goodluck Jonathan is now about N110,000. It is because of the high cost that I can no longer distribute rice to the widows.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Imansuagbon added that he decided to join ADC because he doesn\u2019t want to be part of the system where those in charge can\u2019t ensure good governance and address high exchange rate, while the masses are suffering.<\/p>\n<p>He said that by joining the ADC, he is ready to lead the battle for change and good governance, employment for youths, good education, and security, among others.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, I have an alternative that is genuinely for change. Alternative that want to reduce food prices, love the common man, widows, and students. That alternative is ADC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI moved from the Labour Party to ADC because it is in line with my principles and aspirations of good governance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNigerians should not entertain fear. They should join the ADC because it is the only vehicle for Nigeria to reach the promised land. Nobody can repair Nigeria other than Nigerians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople are saying why am I moving from one party to the other. I do so because I am tired of killing, insecurity, poverty, and the high cost of living,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Receiving Imasuagbon, Edo State ADC chairman, Kennedy Odion, described the party as a movement that has come to ensure that Nigeria is not a one-party state.<\/p>\n<p>Odion noted that ADC has provided a platform for Nigerians to actualize their dream and aspirations for good governance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose joining the ADC are people who detest bad governance and vowed to rescue the country from collapsing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBefore 2027, it would be glaring that the ruling party should park and leave. We are going to witness massive decamping from other parties to ADC,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
