ADC SOUTH EAST MOVES TO QUELL ABIA LEADERSHIP CRISIS, SETS UP DISCIPLINARY PANEL
A wave of fresh energy has swept through the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Abia State, with thousands of Coalition Partners swelling its ranks. While this surge is a welcome boost, it has inevitably sparked some misunderstandings.
To address these tensions and preserve unity, members of the Zonal leadership convened in an emergency session on Saturday, 6th September 2025, in Owerri, Imo State, under the chairmanship of Sir Bon Unachukwu, the National Vice Chairman (South East).
The zonal leadership reaffirmed its commitment to restoring peace and cohesion in Abia State, ensuring that the party’s progress remains unhindered.
Accordingly, a three-man Investigative and Disciplinary Committee was constituted to handle the matter. The committee comprises Dr. Uche Edeh (Chairman), Barr. Anyanwu Chioma Joy (Secretary), and Chilos Godsent (Member).
Their mandate includes engaging major leaders and stakeholders, interacting with factional groups, reviewing petitions and relevant documents, and making recommendations that will lead to an amicable resolution of the crisis. The committee is expected to conclude its assignment and submit a report within fourteen (14) days of inauguration, in line with the ADC constitution.
Sir Bon Unachukwu, who presided over the emergency session, further appealed to all parties, leaders, and members in Abia State to remain calm and cooperate fully with the committee as it carries out this important task.
Unity remains our strength.
Signed
Chilos Godsent
Zonal Publicity Secretary
