ENUGU, NIGERIA — The African Democratic Congress in Enugu State has successfully conducted a ward party structure verification exercise in the Enugu North Senatorial Zone.
The exercise confirmed that party executives and structures across the local government areas remain intact.
Commendation for Isi-Uzo
During the exercise, the ADC Governorship Candidate for Enugu State, Ocho Obodoeze Chukwuma, commended the people of Isi-Uzo Local Government Area for their remarkable coordination, unity, and organisation.
He also recalled the impressive level of coordination demonstrated by the people of Isi-Uzo during the party structure verification exercise in the Enugu East Senatorial Zone. He expressed appreciation for their consistency and commitment to strengthening the party.
“The people of Isi-Uzo have shown that they are committed to the growth of the ADC. Their level of organisation is impressive. I thank them for their support,” Ocho stated.
Massive Turnout
Ocho also thanked the massive turnout of party executives and members across the zone. He described their participation as a demonstration of their commitment to the growth, unity, and organisational strength of the ADC in Enugu State.
He said the exercise was necessary to ensure that the party’s structures are intact and ready for the 2027 elections.
“We need a strong party structure at the grassroots. This verification exercise is to ensure that our ward executives are in place and that they are working. I am pleased with what I have seen,” he said.
Importance of Party Structure
The exercise underscored the importance of a well-organised party structure. It also highlighted the need for strong grassroots participation and collective commitment.
The ADC has been working to consolidate its presence across Enugu State. The party has been receiving defectors from other parties. It has also been strengthening its structures at the ward, local government, and senatorial levels.
“The strength of any political party lies in its grassroots structure. Without a strong base, we cannot win elections. That is why we are investing in our party structures,” a party official said.
What This Means
The verification exercise is a step towards building a formidable party structure in Enugu State. It shows that the ADC is serious about its preparations for the 2027 elections.
For now, the party is focused on ensuring that its structures are functional. It is also working to unite its members and to build consensus around its candidates.
What Happens Next
The ADC will continue the verification exercise in other senatorial zones. It will also hold meetings with party executives to discuss strategies for the 2027 elections.
For now, the party is calling on its members to remain united and committed. It said together, they can build a better Enugu State.
