ADC Intensifies:El Rufai, Obi, Others Storm Imo Politically

With the 2027 general elections drawing closer, the political landscape in Imo State is witnessing intense repositioning as parties and stakeholders realign their structures to secure voter confidence.

The African Democratic Congress (ADC), determined to expand its influence, is pushing harder by engaging in high-level consultations across the state.

On Friday, September 5, 2025, key national leaders of the ADC, including Mallam Nasir El Rufai, former Governor of Kaduna State, and Mr. Peter Obi, the party’s supposed presidential candidate, stormed Owerri, Imo State, for a crucial meeting with the Imo ADC stakeholders.

The gathering was hosted at Awaka Community in Owerri North LGA, at the residence of Chief Dr. C.J. Oparah.

The strategic session, which lasted for an hour, provided a platform for dialogue on the party’s future direction and the consolidation of its structures ahead of the polls.

Those in attendance included Prof. Batos Nwadike (Oyi of Igboland), Chief Mike Nwachukwu (Mpi Dike), Rt. Hon. Maduagwu, HRM Eze Mitchell Uchenna Egbukole (Eze Ochoronma VI) of Egbu Ancient Kingdom in Owerri North LGA of Imo State, and Mr. Nick Oparandudu, among several other notable supporters of the ADC.

The meeting underscored the party’s determination to position itself as a formidable alternative to the ruling APC and opposition PDP and LP in Imo State.

With political realignments intensifying, the ADC leadership in the state is optimistic that the presence of such national figures will strengthen its base and rally wider support ahead of 2027.
