The Imo State Chapter of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, has set up a State Executive Committee, SEC, to oversee the affairs of the party in preparation for the next general elections.
The inauguration of the SEC members, according to the party, will pave the way for transformative leadership focused on achieving electoral victory.
Addressing party members after the inauguration, the newly elected chairman of the committee, Prof. James Okoroma, on behalf of the committee members, promised to reposition the party as a fortress of integrity and inclusiveness.
Okoroma maintained that ADC would be committed to grassroots politics which, according to him, would give rise to credible leadership, assuring the people of Imo that their voices would no longer be silenced.
“We stand today as a beacon of political reawakening. The ADC will not compromise on justice, fairness, and people-driven governance. The journey to rescue Imo is what we have just begun. We are not going to relent in rescuing the State and salvaging our land as well as the future of our children.
“There is a collapse of leadership in Imo. For over five years now the state has not been able to attract any investment. All other states in the southeast region have outgrown the state in terms of infrastructure and human capital development,” he said.
The leader of the newly inaugurated committee added that the state could not continue operating like a personal enterprise, assuring that ADC was poised to reposition Imo State and provide effective leadership.
Advising the newly inaugurated SEC members, the party’s National Vice Chairman (South East), Bon Unachukwu, urged them to discharge their respective assignments diligently.
He said that the mission of the party was to strengthen democracy and offer credible leadership to Nigerians and Imo in particular.
Unachukwu expressed the belief that with the inauguration of the SEC members, the journey to reposition the State was feasible and achievable.
The new SEC members include James Okoroma, Chairman; Damian Ezeagu, Deputy Chairman; Barr. Greg Ihejirika, State Secretary; and Barr. Kissinger Ikeokwu, Legal Adviser.
Others are MacDonald Amadi, Publicity Secretary; Mrs. Uju Ihejiagwa, Woman Leader; Emedo Chika, Youth Leader; and Solomon Chibuike Egwuatu, Chairman, Persons with Disabilities, among others.
