Former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, John Oyegun, now a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, has pronounced the latter as the party with the biggest membership in Nigeria.
Oyegun made this claim on Tuesday in Edo while obtaining ADC membership card in the state capital, Benin.
“So, from a month ago, you were just ADC. Today, one can say we are the largest party in this nation. We are growing by the day, we are growing by the week. We are growing by the month. It’s still ADC, but ADC is now a mix of the best of the PDP and the APC. More are still coming on the way,” the 85-year-old politician boasted.
In his own remark at the occasion, chairman of the party in the state, Kennedy Odion has this to say: “He(Oyegun) has put together what is called a coalition before, and he succeeded. So, in mathematics, once you understand the formula, the answer is in view. So, he understands how he did it before, so doing it again is not a difficult task.
“So as God may have it, he is not from any other state but from the heartbeat of this nation, Edo State and we are moving the coalition together.
“He was the chairman of the implementation committee that decided that ADC would be the platform.”
