In a statement by the Chairman of the Delta State ADC Coalition Leadership Team, Hon. George Timinimi, said the report which portrayed Mr. Barbar Ebimowei as substantive state Chairman presiding over a meeting ahead of the forthcoming party congress, does not reflect true position of the party.
Timinimi said the Delta ADC is currently undergoing a coalition-driven reorganization process based on inclusiveness, wide consultation, and consensus among stakeholders. He pointed out that any meeting convened without critical stakeholders, coalition partners, and recognized leadership structures cannot be considered true official position of the party.
“The leadership of the Delta State ADC at this critical stage is not a one-man affair or a closed-circle arrangement. It is an ongoing effort to reposition the party through the involvement of coalition leaders, elders, and stakeholders committed to building a credible political platform in the state,”
Timinimi also expressed concerns over claims that the purported meeting was restricted to "duly elected state executive members," noting that such approach contradicts the party’s commitment to internal democracy, transparency, and fairness. He asserted that secrecy and exclusion have no place in the ADC, particularly at this time that the party is anchored on unity and reconciliatory process.
The coalition leadership further warned that no congress process would be considered valid or credible if it is based on unilateral actions, exclusion, or disregard for existing coalition arrangements and engagements with the national leadership of the party. That any attempt to preempt or manipulate the congress process will not be acceptable and contrary to the ADC's constitution.
Reaffirming the coalition’s commitment, Timinimi stressed that the ADC Coalition Leadership Team remains dedicated to a transparent, inclusive, and constitutionally guided process that involves all stakeholders across Delta State. He assured party members that the coalition would resist any move that could plunge the party into confusion or undermine the sacrifices of its members.
He also called on party faithful, the media, and the general public to treat unverified reports with caution, urging them to rely only on officially recognized communications from coalition-backed leadership structures. “The Delta State ADC belongs to all its members, not just a select few,” Timinimi concluded, expressing confidence that the party’s future would be shaped through unity, dialogue, and genuine internal democracy."
