In a significant development, the Local Government Area (LGA) Chairmen of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) converged with the State Chairman, Prof. James Okoroma, for a crucial meeting at the ADC Party Secretariat Hudson House Porthacourt road aimed at discussing the party’s way forward and the ongoing harmonization process.

The meeting, which took place on September 2, 2025, was a long-awaited one, and the State Chairman’s initiative was seen as a timely intervention to address pressing issues within the party.
