Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma, has claimed that the Southeast region’s interests are more effectively safeguarded under the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration.

While addressing APC leaders in Enugu, he encouraged them to initiate a membership drive by highlighting to the public the benefits of the President Bola Tinubu administration.

The meeting included Ebonyi State Governor Francis Nwifru, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Chief Benjamin Kalu, former Senate President Anyim Pius Anyim, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, the Minister for Innovation, Science, and Technology Chief Uche Nnaji, Dozie Ikedife Jnr, and members of the Zonal Executive Committee.

Uzodimma said: “You must have seen how sitting governors in the other geo-political zones are now joining the APC.

“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.

“We have decided to see Southeast as a family, tolerate each other’s shortcomings, work as formidable team, to achieve the desired results.
