“I commend leaders/elders of our party for their commitment to standing by the truth and commitment to the ideals of the founding fathers of our great party”
The party faithful extolled Chief Ifeanyi Odii, the Ebonyi State gubernatorial candidate in the 2023 general election, for his commitment to deepening democratic governance in the State.
“I want to commend the leader of our great party in Ebonyi State Chief Ifeanyi Odii, for his role in resolving the crisis in the party in addition to promoting democratic principles in the South-East zone.”
