Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, has told the Minister of Transportation and presidential aspirant, Rotimi Amaechi, that there is a new spirit in the South East All Progressives Congress (APC), stressing that the party is united.

Uzodimma made this known when Amechi met with party delegates from the five South Eastern states to seek their support and votes in the primaries.

The consultation, hosted by Uzodinma at the APC Secretariat in Owerri, had party chairmen, state executives, local council executives and delegates from Enugu, Anambra, Imo, Abia and Ebonyi states.

Uzodimma said: “You will come again by the grace of God, either as an aspirant or as a candidate. One strong message I want to give is that there is a new spirit in the South East for our great party; we have done all the necessary political engineering. APC in South East is united. APC South East is one.”

Amaechi, therefore, pledged that if given the opportunity, his experience in dealing with insecurity as governor of Rivers State, would count in tackling it in the country. 

He further noted: “If you ask ‘why will they support us?’ I’m a young man, a bridge between the young and the old, a son of the soil, and I am approachable.”

“I may be one of the youngest, but I’m the most experienced. As governor of Rivers State, what you’re currently facing here now, I faced in Port Harcourt, and I dealt with it and overcame it. Be rest assured that if we are given this power, we will overcome this crisis by God’s grace.”
