Uzodimma addressed the gathering at the Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu International Convention Centre (EIICC) in Owerri, emphasizing that the Council's primary mission was to secure victory for President Bola Tinubu and all APC candidates in the upcoming elections. He urged the Council to expand party operations to every ward, polling unit, and community in the state, aiming to engage voters directly and unify candidates across all electoral levels. The governor highlighted the importance of disciplined, strategic unity and active grassroots engagement in achieving electoral success. Earlier, Dr. Ijeomah Arodiogbu, the APC National Vice Chairman for the South East, reiterated that the Campaign Council's sole objective was to win elections across all elective positions. Chief Austin Onyedebelu, the Imo State APC Chairman, directed the members to begin door-to-door outreach in all 27 local government areas of the state immediately following the inauguration. Chief Chris Okewulonu, speaking on behalf of the newly formed body, assured Party leadership of the Council's readiness to execute its responsibilities without any compromises or delays.",
