The women wing of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, in Imo State held a strategic leadership meeting at the party’s State Secretariat in New Owerri, reaffirming the unity, strength, and stability of the party across the state.
The meeting brought together local government area women leaders and other stakeholders as part of efforts to strengthen party cohesion, encourage active participation among women, and advance the collective vision of the ADC in Imo State.
The gathering also provided an opportunity for discussions on grassroots mobilisation, party development, and strategies for sustaining the growth and expansion of the party across the 27 local government areas of the state.
In her opening remarks, the State Woman Leader of the party, Uju Ihejiagwa, commended the women leaders for their loyalty, dedication, and commitment to the progress of the party despite prevailing political challenges.
She urged members not to be discouraged by the defection of some party members to other political parties, stating that the ADC in Imo State remains united and focused.
This was contained in a statement issued on Wednesday by the Director of Imo ADC New Media, Ihezie Dede Walax, and made available to journalists in Owerri.
According to her, some individuals may attempt to influence or persuade members to leave the party, but the women leaders must remain steadfast and committed to the ideals of the ADC.
“The ADC remains one united family in Imo State. Our strength lies in our togetherness, mutual respect, and shared vision for a better society. As women, we have a major responsibility to sustain the stability of this party and continue mobilising support for its growth across every community,” she stated.
In her remarks, the South-East Zonal Woman Leader, Hon. Barrister Mrs Chioma Joy Anyanwu, applauded the Imo women leadership for their resilience and organisational capacity, while urging them to continue promoting peace, unity, and responsible leadership within the party.
According to her, the ADC remains committed to democratic values, inclusive leadership, and the empowerment of women and youths across the South-East region and beyond.
Among those present were Hon. Lady Leticia Okere, Hon. Mrs Ruth Nwokocha, Hon. Mrs Getrude Iroemeh, Hon. Barr. Chisom Dominic, and Nneoma Gloria Chukwuba, alongside other women stakeholders and party faithful from across the state.
