Rauf Aregbesola, the Interim National Secretary of the
African Democratic Congress, ADC, has said the party will model international
best practices in its organizational structure and ethics.
Aregbesola said the ADC will study and adopt what works for
political parties in South Africa, Sweden, Chile, and Kenya.
He disclosed this while delivering his acceptance speech
during the meeting of the National Opposition Coalition Group.
The group had met yesterday at Transcorp Hilton in Abuja,
where it adopted ADC as its official political party.
During the meeting, Aregbesola emerged as the party’s
Interim National Secretary.
Speaking, the former Interior Minister said: “It is with deep
humility, a profound sense of duty, and unwavering hope for our people, nation,
race and party and that I accept the appointment as The National Secretary of
our great party.
“We must become an institution where: Internal democracy is
not just preached but practiced.
“Intra-party competition is transparent, fair, and just.
“All party structures from the ward to the national level
and function effectively and efficiently.
“Young people, women, and the marginalized have a real
voice, not symbolic inclusion.
“All special and critical interests(security, educators,
farmers, workers, women, youth, professionals, people with special needs, etc.,
must be recognised and allowed to have autonomous structures within the party.
“We will model international best practices in party
organization, administration, and ethics. We will study what works from South
Africa to Sweden, from Chile to Kenya, and adapt what fits our local reality.
Discipline, order, clarity of purpose, and service to the people must define us.”
