The Imo State chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has refuted claims of factional divisions within the party, reaffirming its unity under the leadership of Professor James Okoroma. According to a statement issued by the ADC National Vice Chairman for the South-East, Sir Bon Unachukwu, the party remains a single, cohesive entity, with Professor Okoroma as its duly recognized State Chairman.

The national leadership of the ADC has emphasized that there are no factions within the Imo State chapter, and has directed that all party activities, communications, and official engagements be conducted solely under the supervision of Professor Okoroma’s State Working Committee. This clarification aims to dispel any confusion and reassure the public, party members, and the media of the party’s commitment to unity and democratic principles.

In the statement released on Monday, Unachukwu advised the public to disregard any unauthorized statements or actions from individuals or groups not recognized by the national leadership. He reiterated the ADC’s dedication to transparency, unity, and democratic advancement in Imo State and Nigeria as a whole. By reaffirming its leadership structure and dismissing claims of factionalism, the ADC seeks to reassure its supporters and the wider public of its stability and commitment to its core values.

The ADC’s stance is significant, as it underscores the party’s efforts to maintain unity and cohesion in the face of potential divisions. As a major political party in Nigeria, the ADC’s commitment to democratic principles and transparency is crucial for the country’s political landscape. The party’s leadership has taken a clear stance on the issue, and it remains to be seen how this development will impact the ADC’s future activities and engagements in Imo State and beyond.
