… Says party is a Coalition of like minds
By Iheanyi Enwerem
Former Imo State Governor, Emeka Ihedioha, has reaffirmed his commitment to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), stating that his decision is rooted in principle, consultation, and long-term vision for Nigeria.
According to Ihedioha, the past year has been dedicated to building a strong coalition of like-minded Nigerians under the ADC platform, with a shared goal of promoting accountable, inclusive, and effective governance. He emphasized that the coalition’s mission remains focused on delivering a better and more prosperous Nigeria.
Reacting to the recent political move by his ally, Peter Obi, who defected to the National Democratic Coalition, Ihedioha acknowledged the decision with respect. He noted that while he would have preferred Obi to pursue his ambitions within ADC, democracy allows individuals to make choices based on personal conviction.
Despite the shift, Ihedioha stressed that their shared vision for a better Nigeria remains unchanged, even if they now operate from different political platforms. After wide consultations and careful reflection, he concluded that there is currently no compelling reason for him to leave the ADC.
He reaffirmed his resolve to continue working towards the realization of a “New Nigeria,” emphasizing that while platforms may differ, the core objectives remain the same.
