The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has offered celebrities like Innocent Idibia popularly known as TuBaba, DJ Switch, Omotola Jelade-Ekeinde and Ahmed Musa free tickets to run for any elective office of their choice in the 2023 general elections.
National chairman of the party, Ralph Okey Nwosu made the pledge while receiving a certificate of endorsement of the party as “the one-party for Nigerian youths and women,” in the next election cycle.
Advancing reason for the choice of the celebrities to run on the platform of the party, Mr. Nwosu noted that entertainment stars have given back to the country more than today’s elected politicians.
He added that the stars could vie for governorship, senatorial or even the highest office in the land on the platform of the party provided they meet the requirements stipulated in the 1999 constitution (as amended) as well as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) guidelines.
The party praised Musa for recently signing up to play for the local side, Kano Pillars after many years in Europe and the Middle East.
