‘My Party, Our Party Now Is ADC’, Ihedioha Tells Supporters, Followers

Former deputy speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha, has informed his teeming supporters and followers that he had moved to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), months after quiting the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Addressing the leaders of his grasstoots-based Rebuild Imo Movement (RIM) structure at his Civil Centre residence on Thursday, Ihedioha said, “My party, your party, our party is now ADC. That is the way to go. That is the party for all of us.”

He urged the RIM leaders to go to their chapters, wards, local government areas and zones to build ADC as a trully grasstoots and people-based political party.

According to him, “I urge you, as leaders of our Rebuild Imo Movement (RIM), to go home to your respective chapters, wards, LGAs and zones, and take this gospel to the grasstoots, to the people. We are people oriented. Our strength is the people, the masses. We alreday have representation in all the boots in the 305 wards in the state, and our structure across the 27 LGAs and three geo-political zones are strong, viable and functional. Just go home and invigorate our RIM structure, which is highly effective and superb.”

Ihedioha, who earned the Omenkeahuruanya title in view of his hallmark and lauduable achievements during his soujourn in the House of Representatives, thanked the leaders as well as the followers for their support and patience while they waited for a new political platform.

“I must thank all of you here and those who are not here, for your steadfastness, support and patience. I commend the DG of our RIM structure for his administrative ingenuity. I appreciate all the state executive members of our structure, the zonal, LGA and ward leaders. You all have been wonderful. Equally, I use the state women leader, Lady Ijeoma Domike? in appreciating all our women. I also acknowledge our youths for their diligence and dedication. Together, we shall triumph,” Ihedioha stated.
