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.

Ex-presidential aide to former President, Goodluck Jonathan, has emphatically declared that the presidency will not return to the North in 2027.

Okupe, who made the assertion on Monday during an interview, tackled those agitating for the Northern presidency in the next election.

He identified sectionalism as the “most fundamental problems why Nigeria is stagnating”, stressing that “those who control the affairs of this nation, in terms of politics before now, were more interested in national interest than sectional interest”.

He stated, “I say this authoritatively without any fear of contradiction or equivocation, in 2027, power cannot return to the North yet. That’s not how we do it.”

“We rotate between the North and the South. The North does eight years, at the end of which the South does eight years.

“I’m not saying that Bola Tinubu must be president in 2027, but it’s not going to be a northerner,” he explained.
