The IMO ADC asserts that its executives and structures are recognized by INEC, and merger groups or coalitions cannot assume ownership of the party.

The party urges its members to focus on addressing the challenges that have plagued the nation, rather than pursuing self-interest or group superiority.

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.

The ADC’s move appears to be an effort to maintain party discipline and ensure that its members remain focused on its goals and objectives. By warning members about the imposter and emphasizing the importance of unity, the party aims to strengthen its internal cohesion and present a united front.
