Sly Ezeokenwa, today attended a democracy summit organized by the African Democratic Congress (ADC) at the Arewa House in Kaduna. The theme of the summit was "Solid Political Party Structure: Critical to the Sustainability of the Democratic Process," with a sub-theme discussing the concept of political parties as "Molue, Tuke-tuke, Bolikaja or Spys Inimical to Political Leadership."

Barr. Ezeokenwa, represented by Alhaji Sarduana Yero Elleman, APGA National Vice Chairman, North West, expressed deep appreciation to the National Chairman of the ADC, Chief Ralph Nwosu, for convening such an essential political discourse at this crucial time.
