The African Democratic Congress (ADC) South-East Zone has berated governors of the five states in the zone over the high level insecurity and militarization in the region.

ADC in a statement jointly signed by the party’s National Vice-Chairman and Zonal Secretary, Chilos Godsent and Agumadu Frank,  in Owerri, Imo State.

The party insisted that governance in the five states in the zone is in “a state of comatose and complete collapse”.

ADC said none of the states in the Zone can boast of any meaningful infrastructural development, nor can they boast of economic prosperity.

”Since the 1999 democratic experiments, governance in the five states of South-East has been dominated by political mediocre characterized by leadership ineptitude and treacherous tendencies”, the party said.

On the forthcoming 2023 general elections, the ADC passed a no confidence vote on state governors in the zone and called on the masses to intensify mobilization for the forthcoming ‘Ballot Revolution’ to change the regime of political leaders they described as ‘reactionary and inept’.

The statement reads: “The stock in trade of these political mediocre and rascals is to shamelessly loot the treasury of the state entrusted to them to a near state of bankruptcy. 

“Thus, the aforementioned ruling class has consciously enforced the regime of poverty and impunity on the masses of the South-East who have for many years now, been politically inactive.

“This leadership ineptitude and sheer corruption by the South East ruling class has drastically increased the militant agitation for self-determination by the youths of the zone which has driven the region into a hopeless state of insecurity, wanton killings etc.

“The African Democratic Congress (ADC) South-East Zone hereby condemns in its totality the increasing state of insecurity and militarization in the region characterized by banditry, kidnapping, ritual killings and other forms of criminalities currently ravaging the South-East region because of the collapse of governance and leadership.

“This has no doubt set the region backwards in terms of investments and indices of economic growth and development.”

The ADC further called on the various state governments and the federal government to immediately review the security architecture towards demilitarization of the region and increased intelligence gathering.

According to the party, “we note that ADC is the fastest growing political party in South-East zone since after the shameless celebration of corruption and sheer impunity by the All Progressive Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) during their last national convention.

”We wish to use this opportunity to appeal to the National Working Committee (NWC) of our party, the ADC, to reject the letter of resignation from Prof. Kingsley Moghalu – one of the top Presidential Aspirant at the Abeokuta Convention 2022 as a step towards recompilation.

“We, therefore, use this medium to appeal to Prof. Moghalu and all other aggrieved presidential aspirants who left the party or are planning to leave the party, to review their decision and come back to the ADC family and continue their mobilization to rescue Nigeria from the present state of hopelessness.”
