2023: Imo PDP Restates Commitment To Landslide Victories
- As Party Stakeholders Meet, Pledge to Work Together
As part of the preparations for the commencement of campaigns for the 2023 general elections, Stakeholders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Imo State held a crucial meeting on Saturday, September 24, 2022.
The well-attended meeting brought together the members of the State Working Committee (SWC), State Executive Committee (SEC), Elders Committee, Candidates and Leaders of the Party.
In his remarks, the State Chairman of the Party, Engr. Charles Ugwuh OON, unveiled, amid wild applause, the action plan which has been put in place to expand the democratic space within the Party, energize the Party at the grassroots and record resounding victories across the State in the 2023 general elections.
He also urged the candidates to keep working in sync with the electoral template of the Party, which he described as the surest path to seamless victory.
The National Secretary of the Party, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, who was represented by his Principal Secretary, Dr. Bruno Ekwelem, lauded the SWC for their giant strides. He appealed to Stakeholders to uphold the unity of the Party and cautioned against divisiveness and the unwholesome tendency to cast a slur on Party Leaders at all levels.
Stakeholders took turns to express their determination to fold up their sleeves and unseat the APC government in the State. Regretting that Imo has been run aground by the APC, it was resolved that Party Stakeholders will work unanimously to weed out the nefarious APC from Imo and deliver all PDP candidates across the State in next year's elections.
They further hailed the Ugwuh-led SWC for the vision, dedication and uprightness which the SWC has brought to bear in steering the affairs of the Party and in surmounting the challenges peculiar to a party in opposition.
Stakeholders also noted that PDP is founded on thoroughgoing democratic principles, on the strength of which the Party cannot limit, hamper or restrict the political aspirations of its members. In view of that, it was resolved that members who are interested in seeking the nomination of the Party for any elective office are at liberty to do so, provided such aspirations are pursued in line with decency, Party Constitution and best practices in party politics.
What is also very important to highlight is that the failed APC regime in Imo State, which has grown jittery about the forthcoming elections, is now resorting to all manner of shenanigans, including INEC voters register compromise, to rig the elections. Another menu in the terrified APC's buffet of atrocities is the sponsorship of fake news and tales of imaginary wars against our Party.
To this end, Stakeholders resolved to intensify efforts towards mobilizing Imo citizens for free, fair and credible elections, whilst also vehemently resisting the wicked plot by the APC to manipulate the voters register in the State.
INEC was therefore enjoined to ensure that the vexed issue of voters register fraud is expeditiously resolved, and the tainted register thoroughly cleaned up, in order to restore public confidence in the electoral system.
