Barr. Mrs. Chioma Uzodimma, First Lady of Imo State, echoed her husband’s sentiments, expressing her gratitude, “I extend a warm welcome to our distinguished guest, Sen. Oluremi Tinubu. Your presence here today exemplifies the unity of our great nation. As the First Lady of Imo State, I stand proudly beside my husband, Governor Hope Uzodimma, in our unwavering dedication to the welfare and empowerment of women in our state. Together, we will continue to champion the cause of our women.”

Sen. Oluremi Tinubu took the stage, acknowledging the warm reception with deep appreciation. “I am deeply honored to be here in Imo State, among the vibrant and resilient people of this great state,” she began. “The Women Campaign rally is a testament to the overwhelming support that Governor Uzodimma enjoys among the women of the state. The crowd is massive, just like the last time I visited, and I can see happiness on the faces of our women. I appreciate the warm welcome and assure you that the federal government is committed to supporting Imo State’s development and the empowerment of its women. November’s gubernatorial election is indeed a walkover for Governor Uzodimma, considering the immense support he enjoys. Together, we will build a better Nigeria, and on behalf of my husband, the President, let me assure you that November’s election will be the freest, fairest, and most credible election in Imo State’s history.”

Hon. MacDonald Ebere, PhD, State Party Chairman of Imo APC, emphasized the significance of unity within the women of the state. He highlighted the importance of the Shared Prosperity administration of Dist. Sen. Hope Uzodimma in addressing various political and developmental issues. He seized the opportunity to encourage Imo women to come out in large numbers on November 11 and vote overwhelmingly for Dist. Sen. Hope Uzodimma, ensuring that the state’s infrastructural transformations continue without hindrance.

He also noted that with Governor Hope Uzodimma’s choice of a female deputy in the person of Lady Chinyere Ekomaru, women will enjoy increased inclusivity in the state’s political discourse during the Governor’s second term in office.

The Imo Women Campaign Rally, marked by these impassioned speeches and the presence of distinguished leaders, served as a historic occasion in the state’s history. It not only fostered unity and collaboration but also paved the way for a brighter future for Imo State and Nigeria as a whole.
