The purpose of the visit was to foster cohesion among various party organs at the local government and ward levels, leading up to the imminent Governorship election scheduled for November 11th.
The leadership delegation’s first destination was Ikeduru local government area, home to Deputy Governor of Imo State, Prof. Placid Njoku, who warmly received the distinguished visitors. Hon. MacDonald Ebere commenced the session by taking attendance of the assembled leaders and then delved into the main objective of the visit. With a mere 7 weeks remaining until the election, Hon.

He issued a directive for the necessary sanctions against any ward or LGA executive found neglecting their campaign responsibilities.
During the meeting, Hon. Ebere conveyed greetings from Governor Hope and urged the assembled leadership to set aside any internal discord that could undermine the party’s mission to secure victory for Governor Uzodinma. Strategic campaign and outreach methods were outlined by Hon. MacDonald to facilitate effective mobilization at the local government level.
Notably, Imo State Deputy Governor, Prof. Placid Njoku, extended gratitude for the visit and took the opportunity to advocate for adherence to the Imo State Charter of equity. Prof. Njoku emphasized that supporting the re-election of Dist. Sen Hope Uzodimma would pave the way for Owerri zone’s prospects in future political endeavors.
Moving to Mbaitolu, the Owerri zonal leadership encountered an equally receptive reception from party leaders, including Deputy Governorship candidate Lady Chinyere Ekomaru, Former Chairman of Imo APC Chief Marcon Nlemigbo, and Sole Administrator of Mbaitolu LGA Hon. Hamilton Chinasa Opara. Hon. MacDonald Ebere underscored the significance of Governor Uzodinma’s accomplishments in the region and urged a united effort to secure his return to office.

In an eloquent appeal, Hon. Opara stressed the importance of unity and peace among party members, asserting that victory could only be achieved through a united front.
