Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma has urged Southeast leaders to promote the All Progressives Congress (APC), asserting that the region’s interests are better safeguarded under the party’s administration led by President Bola Tinubu.

Speaking at a meeting with APC leaders in Enugu, Uzodimma called for a robust membership drive to highlight the benefits of the Tinubu administration to the public. The gathering included prominent figures such as Ebonyi State Governor Francis Nwifuru, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Benjamin Kalu, former Senate President Anyim Pius Anyim, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, Minister for Innovation, Science, and Technology Uche Nnaji, Dozie Ikedife Jnr, and members of the Zonal Executive Committee.

“You must have seen how sitting governors in other geo-political zones are now joining the APC,” Uzodimma said. “It is by joining the APC, which is in charge of the government at the center in Nigeria and other sub-national governments, that the Southeast will be very close to the corridors of power.”

He emphasized unity in the region, stating, “We have decided to see Southeast as a family, tolerate each other’s shortcomings, and work as a formidable team to achieve the desired results.”
