Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State has convened a crucial meeting with key stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, urging unity and discipline ahead of the party’s scheduled ward and Local Government Area (LGA) congresses nationwide.
The meeting, held at the Sam Mbakwe Executive Chambers, Government House, Owerri, brought together party leaders and grassroots mobilisers to chart a path forward as the internal party exercise approaches.
Addressing stakeholders, Uzodinma stressed that the outcome of the congresses would shape the future of the APC in Imo State and beyond.
“The party’s success hinges on the cooperation and sincerity of its members,” he said, calling for peaceful harmonisation among aspirants and adherence to dialogue in resolving disagreements.
He advocated inclusive leadership, insisting that all voices within the party must be considered in decision-making processes.
“APC is a family bound by a common vision for development,” the governor stated, adding that unity remains the party’s greatest strength.
Uzodinma urged members to prioritise the collective interest of both the party and the wider community, noting that harmony within the APC is essential to sustaining electoral victories in future contests.
He commended party leaders and grassroots mobilisers for expanding the party’s reach across the state, reaffirming his administration’s commitment to development and improved security.
In his remarks, Imo APC Chairman MacDonald Ebere lauded members for their participation in the ongoing e-registration exercise and thanked the governor for providing what he described as an enabling environment for party activities.
He urged members to maintain their commitment to a peaceful congress process.
Similarly, Chairman of the Ward and LGA Congress Committee, Godwin Anawore, emphasised the importance of the exercise, describing it as critical to the party’s continued dominance.
He commended Uzodinma’s leadership in keeping the party united and expressed optimism that the congresses would strengthen the APC’s structure ahead of future elections.
With political activities intensifying nationwide, the Imo APC appears poised for a strategic internal consolidation as it prepares for the next phase of party organisation.
