The Governor of Imo State and Chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), Hope Uzodinma, has said the All Progressives Congress (APC) has no plans to rezone its political offices ahead of its upcoming national convention.
Uzodinma made the clarification on Sunday while speaking to journalists after a Progressive Governors Forum meeting held in Lagos, stating that existing zoning arrangements remain unchanged.
He explained that the President and Vice President are still in office, adding that the current structure will remain in place in line with the Electoral Act.
According to him, the upcoming convention is not for selecting candidates for elections, but strictly for choosing party officials who will manage the party’s affairs, while INEC will handle primaries for elective positions.
He said, “We are not re-zoning. The offices are already zoned. The President is still in office. The Vice President is still in office. It goes without saying that under the Electoral Act, the positions will remain where they are. This convention is not for primaries but for party officers.”
Meanwhile, Uzodinma also met with key APC stakeholders in Imo State ahead of the party’s ward and local government congresses, urging unity and focus among members.
Speaking at the Sam Mbakwe Executive Chambers in Government House, he said the outcome of the congresses would play a major role in shaping the party’s future electoral success.
He stressed that internal harmony and discipline were essential for sustaining victories, calling for peaceful resolution of disagreements among aspirants.
Uzodinma also emphasized inclusive leadership, urging stakeholders to ensure all voices within the party are considered.
He described the APC as a family united by a common development agenda and encouraged members to prioritize dialogue over conflict.
The governor further highlighted the importance of unity, noting that collective interest must always come before personal ambition.
He acknowledged party leaders and grassroots mobilizers for strengthening the APC’s presence in the state and reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to development and security.
The state APC chairman, MacDonald Ebere, commended members for their participation in the ongoing electronic registration exercise and praised the governor for fostering a supportive environment for the party.
Similarly, Godwin Anawore, who chairs the committee for the ward and LGA congresses, described the exercise as crucial to the party’s future and expressed optimism about its success, also applauding Uzodinma for promoting unity within the party.
