…inaugurates 26-member Exco in Imo
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has said that it would rescue Nigeria from its current state of abyss into which the All Progressives Congress (APC) has driven it.
Bon Unachukwu, vice chairman of the ADC South East, who stated this, urged the eligible voters to reject the ruling APC at the 2027 polls and embrace the ADC which he said, has all it takes to rescue the nation from its abysmal current state.
Unachukwu, who listed the woes the masses are facing since the inception of the President Bola Tinubu-led administration, regretted that the man in the street has suffered the worst form of hardship, poverty, hunger, deprivation and frustration since 2023.
He, assured that the “ADC which is a conglomeration of experienced and tested bureaucrats,” has emerged to re-write the nation’s sordid history of destitution, hunger and agony in the land.
He spoke at the inauguration of the state Executive Committee of the party, Imo State chapter and the zonal officers of Owerri, Orlu and Okigwe, which was held in Owerri, and performed by Sylvester Nnadozie, the National Vice Chairman of ADC.
“This inauguration is the beginning of 1000 miles to trek, a call up duty for patriotic service to all Nigerians and Imolites in particular,” Nnadozie said.
He paid tributes to Ralph Nwosu, the foundation National Chairman of the party, for making the coalition possible by his voluntary resignation to pave way for the emergence of David Mark, the current National Chairman, and Rauf Aregbesola, the National Secretary.
Meanwhile, James Okoroma, Imo State chairman of the party, lamented that “Nigeria of today is the opposite of what Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, Obafemi Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello handed over to us. We are here to rescue our land and her children from further hardship.”
Okoroma, a former governorship candidate of the ADC, regretted that the Tinubu-led administration has so far taken the nation several years backwards in growth and in development, noting that loans so far borrowed by the administration has far exceeded that borrowed between 1960 and 2023.
“No nation can develop in the absence of infrastructure, reliable and dependable security networks and sound education,” he said.
He argued that the unabated tempo of insurgency resulting in ceaseless massacres, killings, kidnappings, abductions and destruction of properties ravaging the nation is an indication that the civil war which erupted in 1967 is yet to end.
He said that the journey to rescue Imo, which according to him, is now the most backward state in the South East and the nation at large, has begun. He also said that Imo has become a laughing stock in the comity of nations.
“There is collapse of leadership in Imo State and we are out to lay a solid foundation for the future of our youths and our children,” Okoroma said.
