He also used the opportunity to congratulate the Party Executive members for the elongation of their tenure occasioned by the decision of the National Executive Council. He said it was a well thought-out decision. He therefore commended National Chairman of the party, Chief John Oyegun, National Organising Secretary, Osita Izunaso and others for a job well done.
He urged all the stakeholders of the party to join hands to ensure that there is peace by working in unity irrespective of what might be their aspirations, saying that the party remains supreme. He decried the lukewarm attitude in the party as there has not been effort in membership drive as everyone is deeply engaged in personalised project.

She described the Deputy Governor as a very calm leader, experienced, respectful, cultured and a seasoned administrator with a vision to take the State to its rightful position in the nation.
"We want a Governor who has the capacity and competence to harness both material and human resources that are abound in the State and we cannot afford to toil with the future of the State in whatever guise. That is why when we heard about the Stakeholders meeting, we organise ourselves to show our Deputy Governor that he is not alone in this race. We have seen others but the women in our frailties, we are ready to mobilise ndi Imo to vote into power a man who can listen to us and carry us along in his policies and programmes.
