The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has expressed readiness to step up the mobilisation of eligible residents to vote for its candidate, Dare Bejide, with a door-to-door campaign.
While forming committees for the Ekiti election, the ADC particularly assigned duty to the contact and mobilisation committee, urging members to focus on the party agenda on education, healthcare, agriculture, and young employment, among other issues.
The ADC national body, in a statement released in Ado Ekiti on Sunday by the Director of Media and Publicity of the Dare Bejide Campaign Council, Chief Gboyega Aribisogan, exhorted the committees to play their roles in guaranteeing the party’s victory.
It stated, “The Contact and Mobilisation Committee has been tasked with voter sensitisation and door-to-door engagement, as the focus will be on explaining the ADC’s manifesto and addressing concerns around education, healthcare, agriculture and youth employment.”
The ADC stated that the national campaign council and other campaign committees, each with over 100 members, were established “to coordinate grassroots outreach, media engagement, and policy communication as the election approaches”.
They included the campaign council, the media and publicity committee, the contact and mobilisation committee, the policy and protocol committee, and the youth and women’s participation committee.
The ADC noted that “the party settled on a decentralised structure to ensure that campaign activities reflected local issues.
According to the party, each committee has a certain mandate, while local coordinators are free to tailor strategies to the realities of their own localities.
“The media and publicity committee will manage press relations, social media, and broadcast appearances.
“The policy and manifesto committee is expected to break down the ADC’s campaign promises into sector-specific proposals. Members of the committee include professionals in education, health, and engineering, who will help translate policy ideas into actionable plans for the state.
Youth and women leaders are given prominent roles in the new structure, as they will organise rallies, voter education sessions, and programmes aimed at giving the party victory at the governorship poll.
“Logistics and security sub-committees have been set up to coordinate the movement of campaign materials and ensure compliance with electoral guidelines.
“The party is working with relevant agencies to ensure peaceful conduct before and during the election,” the statement added.
