He emphasized the need to distinguish between marginalization and the Southeast’s underperformance within the APC, expressing the party’s commitment to breaking the cycle of marginalization.

“The recent appointments made by President Bola Tinubu’s administration are encouraging, and with greater involvement in party affairs, even more can be achieved,” he stated.

Ganduje called for unity and unwavering support for both the party and the Tinubu-led administration to overcome this challenge. He recognized Ebonyi’s efforts in promoting APC activities, commending Governor Francis Nwifuru for upholding the party’s values in the state.

He added, “Our current challenge is to secure Anambra, Enugu, and Abia, and we must unite all stakeholders to accomplish this goal.”

Governor Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi expressed gratitude to party leaders for attending the meeting, highlighting the strong presence of APC in the state and the Southeast. He noted that Ebonyi’s inclusive policy has brought various stakeholders under the APC umbrella.

“The recent mass defection of opposition figures to the APC on July 13 demonstrates that persuasion is more effective than conflict,” he remarked.

Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo commented on the difficult circumstances under which the APC is governing Nigeria, linking it to the global economic downturn.
