Mr Peter Obi, the 2023, Labour Party (LP) Presidential candidate, on Tuesday held a closed-door meeting with Chairmen of South East caucus of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

Mr Martins Ugwu, Head of ADC media team in the state, said the meeting was a calculated show of regional alignment toward consolidating regional party structures.

According to him, the meeting was Obi’s first with the newly elected South East Chairman of the party in Enugu.

The meeting was not unconnected with Obi’s aspiration to contest the forthcoming ADC presidential primary and to strengthen cohesion, align leadership priorities, and deepen grassroots engagement across the South East zone.

Ugwu said the meeting focused on reinforcing internal party democracy, as well as harmonising state-level operations.

Among those present at the meeting were the Enugu State Chairman-elect, Prof. Augustine Akubue, alongside counterparts from Imo, Abia, Anambra, and Ebonyi states. (NAN)
