Chief Dr. Amushie Emmanuel, the new State Chairman of ADC in Imo State, expressed unwavering commitment to collaborate with his team towards securing electoral victories for ADC in future elections within Imo State.

Emmanuel said ADC’s determination to utilise political and legal means to compel the Imo State Independent Electoral Commission (ISIEC) to conduct Local Government Council Elections in the state before June 2024 concludes.
