The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Imo State has issued a warning to its members, particularly in the Owerri Zone, to disregard any meeting invitations from an individual named Rev. Onyenso, who is not a member of the party.

In a statement signed by Dr. Andyson Obani, the party’s leadership urged its members, referred to as “ADC-DNA Faithfuls,” to remain loyal to the party and its leadership. The statement emphasized that the ADC is a family with a unique DNA, implying a strong bond and shared values among its members.

 

Members are advised to ignore any invitations or directives from Rev. Onyenso, who is not recognized as a member of the party.

The State Chairman Prof James Okoroma  is expected to issue directives on inclusiveness for coalition partners, which may impact the party’s strategy and operations.

The general public and uninformed Democrats are urged to disassociate themselves from individuals who may be working to destabilize the party.

The statement emphasizes the importance of unity and loyalty among ADC members, warning against agents of destabilization.

Dele Momodu

Dele Momodu, a former presidential aspirant and prominent member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has announced his resignation from the party, citing a takeover by what he described as “antidemocratic forces.” He has declared his support for the African Democratic Congress (ADC), marking a shift in allegiance ahead of the 2027 general elections.

In a resignation letter dated July 17, 2025, and addressed to the PDP Chairman of Ward 4 in Ihievbe, Owan East Local Government Area of Edo State, Momodu said the party had become unrecognisable due to internal and external influences. He described his departure as immediate and said it was necessary in light of the current state of the PDP.

“My reason is simple and straightforward,” he wrote. “Our party has been unarguably hijacked by antidemocratic forces, from within and outside, in broad daylight.”

The publisher and media entrepreneur accused the PDP of no longer being a viable platform for democratic progress and labelled it a “carcass.” He stated that his decision was in response to a broader movement involving others seeking an alternative political platform.

“It is, therefore, honourable to abandon the carcass of the party to them while the majority of us earnestly sign up with the new coalition party known as the African Democratic Congress (ADC),” Momodu wrote.

Momodu, who vied for the PDP presidential ticket in 2023, also acknowledged supporters who stood by him during his time in the party, saying their support would always be appreciated.

The resignation comes amid renewed speculation about a wider exodus from the PDP. On Wednesday, reports emerged alleging that former Vice President and 2023 PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, had also resigned from the party. A letter attributed to Atiku and dated July 14, 2025, addressed to his ward chairman in Jada, Adamawa State, announced his departure, citing irreconcilable differences and concerns over the party’s direction.

“As a founding father of this esteemed party, it is indeed heartbreaking for me to make this decision,” the letter reportedly stated. “However, I find it necessary to part ways due to the current trajectory the party has taken, which I believe diverges from the foundational principles we stood for.”

In the letter, Atiku was quoted as expressing gratitude for the roles he had played in the PDP, including his tenure as Vice President and twice being nominated as its presidential candidate.
