2 ADC chairmen emerge in Ebonyi

From Uchenna Inya, Abakaliki

The African Democratic Congress (ADC), Ebonyi State chapter, has produced two state chairmen in parallel congresses.

While one faction produced a former Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, Chief Silas Onu as a chairman, another faction produced a former Special Assistant in the past administration in the state, Mrs. Adibe Jenifer as its own chairman.

The parallel congresses were held in different locations in Abakaliki, the state capital.

Onu, in his speech after his faction’s congress, described the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state as an opposition party because of its style of governance.

He accused the ruling party of poor governance and mismanagement of resources and boasted that ADC would field credible candidates to contest and win elective positions in all the positions in next year’s general elections.

Onu, who was Ebonyi South senatorial candidate of the PDP during a by-election after former Governor of the state, David Umahi, who won the 2023 senatorial seat of the zone resigned for ministerial position, assured ADC members of open door policy, inclusiveness and internal democracy to ensure the victory of ADC in the 2027 general election.

Adibe thanked party faithful for participating in the congress.

She commended party members for supporting her and assured that she would work harder to ensure that ADC won the state in 2027.
