Nze Ajoku has publicly pledged his support for the African Democratic Congress (ADC) during a high-profile Rebuild Imo family gathering hosted by former Governor Emeka Ihedioha of Imo State. Addressing party members, local leaders, and grassroots supporters, Ajoku highlighted the critical role of unity, participation, and active engagement in strengthening the party at both state and national levels.
Speaking passionately at the event,
Ajoku described the ADC as a platform that offers a fresh perspective for Nigeria’s political landscape. “The ADC is more than just a party—it is a voice for the people and a lifeline for the South-East,” he said. He noted that the party is attracting experienced politicians and emerging leaders who share a common vision for progress, democracy, and development, making it a credible alternative in Nigeria’s political scene.
A major focus of Ajoku’s address was the ongoing electronic membership registration (E-registration) exercise. He explained that he has been actively visiting communities across Imo State to educate citizens on the importance of registering as party members. “The strength of any political party comes from the participation of its people,” he said. “Through E-registration, every voice is counted, and the grassroots are given the opportunity to shape the future of the party and the country.”
Ajoku also highlighted the growing national relevance of the ADC, pointing to the involvement of high-profile political figures. He mentioned Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, as one of the leaders showing confidence in the party’s potential. “The presence of such leaders signals that ADC is not just a regional party; it is becoming a major force on the national stage,” he said.
On the role of former Governor Ihedioha, Ajoku acknowledged his contributions to the party’s growth in Imo State but stressed that the ADC is bigger than any single individual. “Governor Ihedioha has played an important part in the party’s journey, but the ADC belongs to all its members,” he said. “It is a platform for opportunity, unity, and development in the South-East, giving people a voice and ensuring they are represented at the national level.”
Ajoku encouraged citizens across Imo State and the South-East to actively participate in the E-registration exercise, attend party meetings, and support initiatives aimed at strengthening the ADC. He said the combined efforts of leaders and grassroots members are essential for the party to realize its full potential as a transformative political force in Nigeria.
The Rebuild Imo gathering, marked by lively interactions and strong community engagement, showcased the growing momentum of the ADC in the South-East. Ajoku’s speech reinforced the party’s commitment to inclusivity, grassroots participation, and regional development.
He expressed confidence that with continued support from citizens and party leaders, the ADC will continue to grow in strength and emerge as a formidable force capable of driving meaningful change across Nigeria.
