Their campaign journey recently brought them to GRA WARD, which marked the final destination in Owerri Municipal Council for the first quarter of booth, chapter and neighborhood campaign rallies.

At GRA WARD, Hon. MacDonald Ebere, speaking passionately before a large crowd of party leaders and members, articulated the tour’s primary goal – to highlight the remarkable achievements of Governor Uzodimma during his first term and to mobilize substantial support from the Ward leadership and executives for his impending gubernatorial campaign.

 

“We aim to understand the tangible impacts of various infrastructure developments, skill empowerment initiatives, federal grants, educational and medical resources facilitated by Governor Uzodimma for the people,” Hon. Ebere stated. “So far, the Governor has done so much for you people in GRA, where the seat of Government, the Government House, is located. In GRA alone, ALVAN IKOKU Federal College of Education has been granted a University status, while the Federal Medical Center has transformed into a University teaching hospital. Additionally, the major roads that connect Owerri to Orlu and Owerri to Okigwe all pass through GRA. Even with all of these accomplishments, the administration of Dist.Sen Hope Uzodimma is committed to doing more in his second term for GRA, and so let’s support him with our votes.”

 

Furthermore, Hon. Ebere emphasized that the tour also aims to foster lasting peace in the affected wards, encouraging leaders to maintain a symbiotic relationship and ensure a seamless victory for the Governor in the upcoming elections.

 

The Ward leaders and executives present at the gathering enthusiastically pledged their unwavering commitment to mobilize massive support for Governor Uzodimma, vowing to ensure his success in the polls.

 

Adding his voice to the occasion, Hon. Onyekachi Ibezim, Owerri Municipal APC Chairman, expressed his deep appreciation for the unity displayed by party leaders and members from the various booth, chapters, and neighborhoods in the ward. He echoed the sentiment that Governor Uzodimma’s achievements deserve recognition and steadfast support.

Rt. Hon Ernest Ibejiako, the Apex Leader of Owerri Municipal APC, delivered an inspiring speech, emphasizing the need for party leaders and members to work tirelessly towards a common goal.

With the first half of GRA booth, chapter, neighborhood campaign rallies coming to an end, the leaders and members are resolute in their determination to strengthen the grassroots support base and ensure a resounding victory for Governor Uzodimma in the upcoming November 11 gubernatorial polls. The second rally across wards and the LGA Mega Campaign Road Show are on the horizon, promising to further galvanize support for the Governor’s second term bid.

President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, announced plans to modify the constitution to implement the Supreme Court judgment on local government autonomy.

Akpabio made this statement in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State capital, while receiving APC members loyal to Senator John James Akpanudoedehe.

“I thank President Bola Tinubu for seeking to grant local governments autonomy through the Supreme Court,” Akpabio said. “Under my leadership, the Senate will adjust the constitution to ensure the judgment is fully enforced without loopholes for exploitation.”

Akpabio reflected on his journey with the APC, noting that before joining in 2018, the party hadn’t won any councillorship seats in the state. He expressed gratitude for becoming Senate President with President Tinubu’s support.

“Change is life’s only constant,” Akpabio said. “I joined APC to connect with the center, and now I’m Senate President. God elevated me because I meant well for our people.”

Welcoming back APC members who never left the party, Akpabio prayed, “May God bless you and grant your progressive desires.”

Eteubong Alex Umoh, Obong Kufre Akpan, and Mrs. Roseline Eyang spoke on behalf of the returnees, affirming their loyalty to Akpabio and the APC. “We never left APC; we recognized you as our leader and refused to be used against you.”

The reunited group celebrated their unity, declaring the APC a single, united family.

In a statement released today by Chief Press Secretary to the Governor Fintiri

He said, “The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Adamawa, Taraba, Gombe, Borno, and Yobe states have endorsed Ambassador Umar Iliya Damagum’s leadership as Acting National Chairman.

“Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, speaking on behalf of the five states, expressed confidence in Damagum’s leadership since assuming office. Citing a Federal High Court Abuja restraining order, Fintiri stated that Damagum should complete former Chairman Dr. Iyorchia Ayu’s tenure unless the court decides otherwise.

“The Governor praised Damagum for restoring public confidence in the party and urged members to respect the court’s ruling for the party’s and democracy’s sake.

“The Governor who described the performance of the party in the North East region during the 2023 elections as unprecedented at all levels noted that the zone deserves the position of National Chairman more than any section in the North.

“A Federal High Court in Abuja had barred the National Working Committee, Board of Trustees, National Executive Committee, PDP, INEC, and affiliates from replacing, nominating or appointing any Chairman other than Ambassador Damagum, following a restraining order by the Court.”
