Imo APC spokesman, ex-lawmaker resign from party, join new movement
The Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Imo State chapter, Cajethan Duke and former State lawmaker, Blyden Amajuruonwu, who represented Ngor-Okpala State Constituency, have resigned their membership of the party.
They made their resignation public while addressing their supporters and members of a new political movement known as, The Mazi Organization, (TMO) in Owerri, the State capital.
Duke said that their resignation was formed by careful thoughts to join and align with the new political movement championed by one Chima Amadi, to build a new political environment that would usher in a new chapter for economic growth and prosperity of the State.
“It is with exceptional humility and profound sense of responsibility that I wish to inform this distinguished audience and general public of my decision to resign as the State Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Imo State, effective today, Friday, February 14, 2025.
“This decision was not taken lightly, but after careful consideration, I have decided to move on to a new challenge that aligns with my values and goals,” he asserted.
The former APC Publicity Secretary said that he was grateful for the opportunity given to him to serve the APC Imo State in that capacity.
“As I move on to this new chapter, I am excited to announce that I have accepted the offer to become the official spokesperson of TMO for better Imo State
“This new role aligns with my passion for building an environment conducive for real economic growth and prosperity and I am eager to contribute my skills and experience to help advance the organization’s mission and goals,” he said.
The embattled National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress, David Mark, on Friday held a closed-door meeting with leaders of the Peoples Redemption Party in Abuja. The private consultation is seen as a fresh round of political moves as the ADC continues to battle a lingering leadership crisis and growing internal divisions.
Top figures from both parties were said to be present at the meeting, including PRP National Chairman Hakeem Baba-Ahmed and senior ADC officials. The development is already drawing attention as opposition parties continue realignments ahead of the 2027 political season, with many watching closely for possible alliances and next steps in the party crisis.

“ADC is a Holy Party, Cannot be used to Scam Nigerians Again” – Hon Success Opara tells David Mark
ADC Party in Turmoil: Hon Success Opara Slams Leadership, Warns Against Scamming Nigerians
Abuja, Nigeria – The African Democratic Congress (ADC) is facing internal strife as Hon Success Opara, a prominent party official, has warned against attempts to use the party to deceive Nigerians. Opara specifically criticized the leadership of David Mark, stating that the party cannot be used to scam citizens again.
“ADC holy Party cannot be used to scam Nigerians again,” Opara said, emphasizing that those forming coalitions are hindering the party’s growth and denying youths opportunities to thrive.
“Those who are forming coalition don’t want to give the youths the chance to strive in the party,” she added.
Opara’s statement highlights the deepening divisions within the ADC, with concerns over leadership and the party’s direction.
The factional National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Nafiu Bala Gombe, has announced that the party under his leadership will bar individuals above the age of 55 from contesting for political positions.
Gombe made the disclosure during an interview with BBC Hausa, where he outlined a vision centred on generational change and greater youth participation in politics.
“The African Democratic Congress (ADC) is a party that belongs to all Nigerians. What we are doing now is to ensure the party moves forward properly.
“We have decided that we will give the youths a real chance. The time has come for young people to take the lead in politics.
“If you are over 55 years old, you are not going to contest for positions in the ADC under our leadership.
“We want to bring in fresh blood, new ideas, and energy from the youth. Nigeria’s future depends on the young generation.
“The old ways have not worked well for the country. We need to open the door wide for youths to participate fully as candidates, leaders, and decision-makers,” he said.
