Emeka Ihedioha, former governor of Imo, has declared his allegiance to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Addressing members of his rebuild Imo movement (RIM) at his
Owerri residence, Ihedioha said the ADC is now the political platform for him
and his supporters.
The former governor left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
April last year and has remained without a political party since.
“My party, your party, our party is now ADC. That is the way
to go. That is the party for all of us,” he said.
Ihedioha urged the leaders of the RIM to mobilise support
for ADC across the 305 wards in the state.
“I urge you, as leaders of our rebuild Imo movement (RIM),
to go home to your respective chapters, wards, LGAs and zones, and take this
gospel to the grassroots, to the people,” he said.
“We are people-oriented. Our strength is the people, the
masses. We already have representation in all the booths in the 305 wards in
the state, and our structure across the 27 LGAs and three geo-political zones
is strong, viable and functional.
“Just go home and invigorate our RIM structure, which is
highly effective and superb.”
Ihedioha, who previously served as deputy speaker of the
house of representatives, thanked his supporters for their patience while
waiting for a new political platform.
“I must thank all of you here and those who are not here for
your steadfastness, support and patience,” he said.
“I commend the DG (director general) of our RIM structure
for his administrative ingenuity. I appreciate all the state executive members
of our structure — the zonal, LGA and ward leaders. You all have been
wonderful.
“Equally, I use the state women leader, Lady Ijeoma Domike,
in appreciating all our women. I also acknowledge our youths for their
diligence and dedication. Together, we shall triumph.”
Ihedioha was one of the several prominent Nigerian political
figures spotted at the unveiling of ADC as the platform of the opposition
coalition in Abuja on Wednesday.
