“I urge you, as leaders of our Rebuild Imo Movement, to go home to your respective chapters, wards, LGAs and zones, and take this gospel to the grassroots, to the people. We are people-oriented. Our strength is the people, the masses.
“We already have representation in all the booths in the 305 wards in the state, and our structure across the 27 LGAs and three geo-political zones are strong, viable and functional. Just go home and invigorate our RIM structure which is highly effective and superb.”
Ihedioha thanked the leaders as well as the followers for their support and patience while they waited for a new political platform.
The acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Umar Damagum, declared on Monday that the party’s National Executive Committee, NEC, has affirmed Samuel Anyanwu as the National Secretary.
Damagum spoke in Abuja after the NEC meeting, which was held at the party’s headquarters.
According to him, Anyanwu’s affirmation was one of the key resolutions reached during the NEC meeting, which remains the party’s highest decision-making body.
“Let it be clear that the NEC has affirmed Senator Samuel Anyanwu as the National Secretary of our great party,” Damagum stated.
The New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, has said that if its 2023 presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, joins the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, it would remove a great burden for members.
The National Secretary of the party, Oginni Olaposi, said this in a statement on Sunday in Lagos.
This comes following the resignation of APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, and speculations that he quit the ruling party over an alleged move by Kwankwaso to join them.
