The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has set up a 26-member executive to run the affairs of the party in Imo State.
Inaugurating the executives in Owerri, the vice chairman of the ADC, Southeast zone, Bon Unachukwu enjoined eligible voters to reject the ruling APC at the polls and embrace the ADC which he said has all it takes to rescue the nation from its current financial and economic challenges.
Unachukwu who chronicled the woes of the masses since the inception of the President Bola Tinubu-led administration, regretted that the man on the street had 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 technocrats, emerged to rewrite the nation’s sordid history of destitution, hunger and agony.
He spoke at the inauguration of the party’s state executive committee as well as the zonal officers of Owerri, Orlu and Okigwe held in Owerri.
“This inauguration is the beginning of 1,000 miles to trek, a call-up duty for patriotic service to all Nigerians and Imolites in particular.”
The ADC chieftain also charged Nigerians to queue into the sacrifices made by the founding fathers of the party through manifest commitment and sacrifice.
He paid glowing tributes to the pioneer national chairman of the party, Ralph Nwosu, for making the coalition possible by his voluntary resignation to pave the way for the emergence of the current national chairman, Senator David Mark and the national secretary, Rauf Aregbesola.
In his remarks, the state chairman of the party, Professor James Okoroma lamented that “Nigeria of today is the opposite of what Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, Obafemi Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello handed over to us saying “we are here to rescue our land and her children from further hardship.”
Prof Okoroma, a former governorship candidate of the ADC, regretted that the Tinubu-led administration has taken the nation several years backwards in growth and development, noting that loans borrowed by the administration had far exceeded those borrowed between 1960 and 2023.
