The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Imo State, Nigeria, has established a State Executive Committee (SEC) to oversee the party’s affairs in preparation for the upcoming general elections. The inauguration of the SEC members is expected to pave the way for a new era of leadership focused on achieving electoral success.

According to the party, the newly elected chairman of the committee, Professor James Okoroma, has pledged to reposition the party as a symbol of integrity and inclusiveness. Okoroma emphasized the party’s commitment to grassroots politics, which he believes will give rise to credible leadership and ensure that the voices of the people of Imo are heard.

The chairman noted that Imo State has experienced a collapse of leadership, resulting in a lack of investment and infrastructure development over the past five years. He assured that the ADC is poised to provide effective leadership and reposition the state for growth and development. Okoroma also stressed that the party will not compromise on justice, fairness, and people-driven governance.

The party’s National Vice Chairman for the South East, Bon Unachukwu, advised the newly inaugurated SEC members to discharge their duties diligently, emphasizing the party’s mission to strengthen democracy and offer credible leadership to Nigerians. Unachukwu expressed confidence that the inauguration of the SEC members marks the beginning of a feasible and achievable journey to reposition the state.

The newly inaugurated SEC members include James Okoroma as Chairman, Damian Ezeagu as Deputy Chairman, and other key officials such as the State Secretary, Legal Adviser, Publicity Secretary, Woman Leader, and Youth Leader. With the establishment of the SEC, the ADC is gearing up to contest the upcoming general elections and provide an alternative to the current leadership in Imo State.

The development is significant for the people of Imo State, who have been seeking a change in leadership and governance. The ADC’s commitment to grassroots politics and credible leadership is expected to resonate with the electorate, and the party’s chances of success in the upcoming elections will depend on its ability to deliver on its promises. As the political landscape in Imo State continues to evolve, the ADC’s new leadership is poised to play a key role in shaping the state’s future.
