Imo ADC Not Party To Suit Against National Leadership, Says Okoroma

The Imo State Chairman of African Democratic Party (ADC) has revealed that they are not involved in the suit against the national leadership of the party.

This was made known through a statement made available to newsmen by the Imo State Chairman of ADC, Prof. James Okoroma.

“The attention of the Imo State Chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC)has been

drawn to reports that the 36 State Chairmen of the Party had filed a Suit against the National Leadership in a Federal High Court,Abuja.

“In view of the need to make the position of Imo ADC clear on this matter,we make the

following clarifications, For the avoidance of doubts,neither the Imo State Chapter nor its Chairman (Prof. James Okoroma)is a Party to the Suit.”

According to him, as democrats,we are not averse to any action by any person or group of persons aimed

at seeking redress by constitutional means through the Courts.

However, they vehemently oppose mischievous litigations by Fifth Columnists with intent to distract

the Party and create doubts in the minds of the people as to whether the ADC has the capacity to survive and lead Nigerians

“Imo ADC remains loyal to the National Leadership under His Excellency,Senator

David Mark. We believe in the supremacy of the Party and its capacity to resolve grievances internally.

“The constant resort to litigations by members without first exhausting internal

mechanisms for grievance redress,is unacceptable and should be discouraged.Southeast Leaders,at an expanded Zonal Executive Committee Meeting in Enugu,on 19th March,passed a unanimous Resolution,directing all members from the Zone to withdraw from all litigations against the Party.The Five SoutheastChairmen supported the Resolution. We stand by this Resolution and dissociate ourselves completely from the Case at theFederal High Court”
