Abia State Chapter of ADC Elects Kalu Agu as New Chairman
The Abia State chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has elected Kalu Agu as its new State Chairman following a congress held in Umuahia, the state capital, on Saturday.
The election, conducted through a voice vote, saw Agu emerge unopposed after a motion moved by Longman Nwachukwu and seconded by Uchenna Okogbue. Other key positions filled during the congress include Obinna Okey as Deputy State Chairman, Mrs Uwaoma Olenwengwa as Secretary, and Mrs Francess Ogbonnaya as State Publicity Secretary.
Speaking after his election, Agu emphasized the party’s determination to strengthen its position ahead of the 2027 general elections. He pledged to unify aggrieved members and foster reconciliation within the party.
“We will bring all members back to the drawing board and seek genuine peace and forgiveness. We will apologise to those we may have offended because a house divided against itself cannot stand,” Agu stated.
The Congress Committee Chairman, Fredrick Onwe, confirmed that the exercise was conducted in accordance with the party’s constitution and guidelines. He expressed confidence in the ADC’s growing strength in Abia State and condemned the actions of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) against the party’s national leadership.
Onwe maintained that despite challenges, the opposition party would continue to pursue its constitutional activities and strengthen its grassroots presence across the state.
The election marks a significant step in the ADC’s efforts to reposition itself as a formidable political force in Abia State, setting the stage for future electoral contests and party development initiatives.
