The Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC), Anambra State chapter, has inaugurated its Local Government Area secretariat in Omor, Ayamelum Local Government Area, as part of efforts to strengthen its grassroots structure ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The inauguration brought together party leaders, members of the youth wing, women leaders and other stakeholders, with the party reiterating its commitment to expanding its presence and activities across communities in the state.
Speaking at the event, the factional NDC State Chairman, David Patrick Chukwudifu, said political power ultimately belonged to the people, stressing the need for the party to maintain strong and functional structures at the grassroots.
Chukwudifu commended the turnout of party members and urged prospective candidates in Ayamelum to work closely with the LGA executive committee and the chairmen of the party’s 11 wards.
He also warned aspirants and other members against bypassing established party structures, noting that the existing leadership arrangements were recognised by the party hierarchy and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The NDC Chairman in Ayamelum LGA, Nwakobi Felix Emenike, commended the state executive for its support and described the inauguration as an indication of the party’s determination to build a stronger grassroots presence.
Emenike expressed optimism that the party would make significant gains across the 11 wards of Ayamelum, adding that the presence of the state chairman and other executive members demonstrated a shared commitment to ensuring that no community was left behind.
The LGA Secretary, Patricia Obiora, praised what she described as the youth-driven approach of the Chukwudifu-led state executive, saying political engagement had moved beyond rhetoric to strategic organisation.
Similarly, the LGA Woman Leader, Egodi Emeka, passed a vote of confidence in the state executive and highlighted its efforts to involve women in key party positions and activities.
The LGA Youth Leader, Okafor Ifesinachi, commended the council leadership and urged the state executive to sustain its efforts to establish a formidable party structure across Anambra.
The Coordinator of the NDC Youth Wing in Anambra State, Chukwuma Ezenwanko, also appealed to members to remain united and focused as the party prepares for future electoral contests.
The inauguration was attended by the NDC State Publicity Secretary, Chief Onyiuke, members of the State Working Committee and regional party delegates.
