The Abia State chapter of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, has elected Kalu Agu as its new State Chairman.
Agu emerged at the party’s state congress held in Umuahia, the State capital, on Saturday.
Other elected officials include Obinna Okey as Deputy State Chairman; Mrs Uwaoma Olenwengwa, Secretary, Mrs Francess Ogbonnaya as State Publicity Secretary among others.
The election was conducted through a voice vote following a motion moved by Longman Nwachukwu, and seconded by Uchenna Okogbue.
Speaking shortly after his emergence, the new ADC Chairman, Agu said the party was determined to win elections in the state ahead of the 2027 general elections, saying that aggrieved members would be unified and reconciled.
We will bring all members back to the drawing board and seek genuine peace and forgiveness. We will apologise to those we may have offended because a house divided against itself cannot stand,” he said.
Chairman of the Congress Committee, Fredrick Onwe, said the exercise was conducted in line with the party’s constitution and guidelines. He expressed confidence in the party’s growing strength in Abia State.
He condemned the actions of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC against ADC national leadership, maintaining that the opposition party would forge ahead with its constitutional activities.
