The newly re-elected Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Lokoja Local Government Area, Muhammed Hadi Lawal, has expressed profound gratitude to party members and supporters for entrusting him with another four-year mandate.
Speaking with newsmen shortly after the party’s congress held at the residence of the state party leader, Senator Tunde Ogbeha, in the Government Reserved Area (GRA), Lokoja, on Thursday, Lawal described his renewed tenure as a critical phase of action and consolidation.
He characterized the new term as a “workshop phase,” noting that the real work of strengthening the party begins immediately.
According to him, efforts are already underway to reconnect with grassroots structures, especially unit executives, to ensure effective mobilisation ahead of forthcoming elections.
The chairman emphasized the need for party faithful to return to their communities, remain steadfast, and stay committed to the ideals and vision of the ADC, stressing that strong grassroots engagement would be key to the party’s electoral success.
Lawal, however, took a swipe at the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), expressing confidence that the party would be defeated in the upcoming state and federal elections.
He maintained that the ADC remains well-positioned to provide credible leadership and an alternative platform for the people.
He further assured that measures would be put in place to safeguard voters and protect the integrity of the electoral process, adding that his leadership would prioritise ensuring that every vote counts.
The ADC congress in Lokoja, which produced Lawal and other executives, is seen as part of the party’s broader efforts to reposition itself ahead of future political engagements.
