Addressing a cross-section of party faithful, the deputy governor acknowledged the commitment of Mbaitoli APC members and supporters to the affairs of the party and state government, assuring that there would be more grassroots development, economic revitalisation and a better welfare for all.

The deputy governor also commended the charismatic leadership of the state party chairman, Hon MacDonald Ebere, adding that he has led the party to many electoral victories, especially the overwhelming gubernatorial election triumph and the local government election success.
Lady Ekomaru encouraged the state chairman, who she described as an amazing and erudite scholar, to remain strong, objective and focused in driving the party to more resounding successes.
She also appreciated other leaders of the party, including her husband Barr Chukwuma Ekomaru, the Mbaitoli council chairman, Hon Ifunanya Nwanegwo, the former APC state chairman and Mbaitoli apex leader of the party, Prince Marcellinus Nlemigbo, the House member representing Mbaitoli in the Imo State House of Assembly, Hon Innocent Ikpamezie; the executive secretary, National Assembly Library Trust Fund, Hon Henry Nwawuba; chairman of IROMA, Barr Kingsley Ononuju, special adviser to the governor on Regional Integration and Cooperation and the members of Mbaitoli legislative council, led by Hon Frank Onyeji, for their fruitful efforts in making the party stronger.
The state party chairman, Dr Ebere commended the deputy governor for playing significant role in the development of the state, especially in rural communities, and assured of a stronger APC.
According to him, it is expected that the verification exercise both at the ward and local government levels would revalidate party membership, expose defected/ departed members and reposition the party better, stronger and more focused on the struggle for better days.
