Imo ADC Mobilizes Support GroupsAhead of 2027 Elections

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Imo State has intensified preparations for the 2027 general elections, mobilizing thousands of support groups across the 27 local government areas of the state.

Speaking during an interactive session with the State Chairman and leaders of various support groups, the Director-General of the Directorate of Support Groups, Diaspora Affairs, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), Comrade (Dr.) Agu Diamond Bryan, described the directorate as the “engine room” of ADC’s 2027 campaign strategy.

According to him, “ADC believes that leadership must be earned through credibility, not manipulation; through conviction, not intimidation. Our support group structure has become a platform where ideas matter more than money, and where service to humanity is the highest form of politics.”

Dr. Agu revealed that, in addition to the ten existing registered support groups, fourteen new groups have expressed interest in partnering with the Directorate of Support Groups, Diaspora Affairs, CSOs, and NGOs to strengthen the party’s grassroots presence. Notable among these are;  I Stand with ADC, The Igbo Liberation Prayer Network.

He disclosed that in addition to the ten existing registered support groups, fourteen new ones have indicated interest in partnering with the directorate to expand the party’s grassroots reach. Among these are I Stand with ADC, The Igbo Liberation Prayer Network, and The New Mandate National Movement, among others committed to promoting the party’s ideals.

Dr. Agu also urged Nigerians, particularly ADC supporters, to participate actively in the ongoing voter registration exercise by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). “Do not say your vote won’t count,” he said. “The first step toward change is getting your voter’s card. Let’s do the needful.”

In his remarks, the party’s Director of INEC and Electoral Matters, Hon. Emeka Nwaokeke (Iroko), commended the dedication of the various support groups and urged members to go beyond expressions of support by formally registering with the party in their wards.

Also speaking, the ADC State Chairman, Prof. James Okoroma, expressed satisfaction with the turnout and enthusiasm of members. He described the current state of governance in the country as “a sign of systemic collapse”, stressing that recent reports of political instability underscore the urgent need for credible leadership.

Prof. Okoroma pointed out that the African Democratic Congress remains the most credible alternative for good governance in Nigeria. “With the commitment and unity we are witnessing today,” he said, “ADC is well-positioned to rise to the challenge and deliver victory come 2027.”
