Ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo has revealed that he is not a member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Obasanjo said this recently when he received the National Working Committee of the ADC in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
He urged the party to “Be prudent as a party, and uphold its uniqueness of being members’ driven party, where its members are the financiers and not a few money bags.”
The ex-President added that “I am happy that the party has become a credible alternative to the other two parties in such a short period.
“I have said it many times that I am not a member of ADC; I will, however, provide guidance where necessary.
“You have to make sure that you are guided by the vision of the party at all times, and continue to accord women and youths the chance to participate without discrimination.
“The major parties, right now, have image deficit, discipline deficit, commitment deficit, and leadership deficit.
“Once you are able to ensure that you are not found wanting in all these areas, you would have conquered the major challenges of running an ideal party that will produce credible leaders; and there must be internal democracy.”
