Hope Uzodimma, the governor of Imo State has said the All Progressives Congress, APC, is the party to beat in the South East.
He also said that the party is the biggest party in black Africa.
Speaking when he received the All Progressive Congress (APC) Constitution Review Committee Team for the South East, led by Prof. Tahir Mamman at the Imo State APC Secretariat along Okigwe Road, Owerri, the governor emphasized that the decision to look at the party constitution to identify the grey areas, add things that will strengthen the party and make her policies come to terms with the new realities of the 21st century is a welcome idea.
“As a Government and people, we are ready to support the work that the Committee is doing. To this end, we, the members of the party in Imo State have committed our position in writing for submission to the committee in support of the constitution review idea.
“I seize the opportunity to remind the people that APC today is the largest party in Black and White Africa, as it controls the Federal Government of Nigeria”.
The governor clarified that the creation of the Caretaker Committee at both the National and State levels was born out of recent challenges in the administration of the party, hence the National Leadership rose to the occasion by putting in place the Caretaker Committee.
He said the APC today is the party to beat in South East and for emphasis, it was not by happenstance, rather painstaking efforts by the leaders of the party in the zone who decided that the zone should not be left out of the National political grid and fortunately enough, people of the zone received the message and queued into the idea.
“I am confident that going forward, APC will have a convivial environment for party politics, to promote and place the party in a position that will make it a movement in the South East.
“I am confident about the integrity and commitment of the leaders of the party in the South East States and convinced that challenged by the new development, they will make sure all the nooks and crannies of the South East recognize and embrace APC as their party”.
