The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Imo State convened a special stakeholders meeting at its state secretariat in Owerri, drawing prominent party leaders, industry captains and dignitaries. The gathering underscored the party’s growing influence in the state.
Former Imo Governor Emeka Ihedioha presented new members who had defected from the Labour Party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Obidient Movement, marking a significant political realignment. Ihedioha emphasized the importance of collective, self‑less work to strengthen the party’s unity, growth and progress. He stressed that cohesion, discipline and a shared purpose are essential for building a formidable political platform capable of delivering good governance.
Other speakers, including former Governor Achike Udenwa, ADC South‑East Chairman Born Unachukwu and Imo State ADC Chairman James Okoroma, underscored the need for hard work, integrity and commitment to advancing the party’s agenda. The newly presented members cited the ADC’s quality of leadership and internal democracy as the reason for their defection, criticizing the Labour Party and PDP for allegedly aligning with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and neglecting Nigerians’ welfare.
In a show of solidarity, ADC leaders and Local Government Area chapters voluntarily contributed over N200 million to support party operations and activities across the state. The meeting concluded with stakeholders expressing renewed hope, unity and determination to advance the ADC’s vision and achieve its strategic goals in Imo State and beyond.
The ADC has been gaining momentum in Imo, and this development is expected to further strengthen its position. With a focus on national rebirth and people‑centered governance, the party is poised to play a significant role in the state’s political landscape, while facing challenges and opportunities that will test its resolve and commitment to core values.
