Their campaign journey recently brought them to GRA WARD, which marked the final destination in Owerri Municipal Council for the first quarter of booth, chapter and neighborhood campaign rallies.
At GRA WARD, Hon. MacDonald Ebere, speaking passionately before a large crowd of party leaders and members, articulated the tour’s primary goal – to highlight the remarkable achievements of Governor Uzodimma during his first term and to mobilize substantial support from the Ward leadership and executives for his impending gubernatorial campaign.

“We aim to understand the tangible impacts of various infrastructure developments, skill empowerment initiatives, federal grants, educational and medical resources facilitated by Governor Uzodimma for the people,” Hon. Ebere stated. “So far, the Governor has done so much for you people in GRA, where the seat of Government, the Government House, is located. In GRA alone, ALVAN IKOKU Federal College of Education has been granted a University status, while the Federal Medical Center has transformed into a University teaching hospital. Additionally, the major roads that connect Owerri to Orlu and Owerri to Okigwe all pass through GRA. Even with all of these accomplishments, the administration of Dist.Sen Hope Uzodimma is committed to doing more in his second term for GRA, and so let’s support him with our votes.”

Furthermore, Hon. Ebere emphasized that the tour also aims to foster lasting peace in the affected wards, encouraging leaders to maintain a symbiotic relationship and ensure a seamless victory for the Governor in the upcoming elections.

The Ward leaders and executives present at the gathering enthusiastically pledged their unwavering commitment to mobilize massive support for Governor Uzodimma, vowing to ensure his success in the polls.

Adding his voice to the occasion, Hon. Onyekachi Ibezim, Owerri Municipal APC Chairman, expressed his deep appreciation for the unity displayed by party leaders and members from the various booth, chapters, and neighborhoods in the ward. He echoed the sentiment that Governor Uzodimma’s achievements deserve recognition and steadfast support.
Rt. Hon Ernest Ibejiako, the Apex Leader of Owerri Municipal APC, delivered an inspiring speech, emphasizing the need for party leaders and members to work tirelessly towards a common goal.
With the first half of GRA booth, chapter, neighborhood campaign rallies coming to an end, the leaders and members are resolute in their determination to strengthen the grassroots support base and ensure a resounding victory for Governor Uzodimma in the upcoming November 11 gubernatorial polls. The second rally across wards and the LGA Mega Campaign Road Show are on the horizon, promising to further galvanize support for the Governor’s second term bid.

Tinubu to visit Southsouth, Southeast May – Presidency
The Presidency has revealed that President Bola Tinubu would visit the South-South and South-Eastern parts of the country on the 12th of May, 2026.
The Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, made this revelation on Monday after inspecting the Aba-Port Harcourt Motorway Abia State section and Eleme Axis of the East-West road in Rivers.
According to him, the visit would be to inaugurate the projects that would be completed in April.
Umahi further stated that the federal government has intensified work on key highway projects across the South-South, with several strategic corridors slated for commissioning by President Tinubu during his planned visit to the regions in May.
The project, he said includes the 43-kilometre dualization of the Aba–Port Harcourt highway, a critical economic artery linking Abia and Rivers states, which officials say will be substantially ready by April.
“They are still committed to any section of the road when they finish for twelve months. If it fails, it’s their business; it’s their problem; they have to repay it.
“But so far, I am happy with their work, and I want them to finish by April so that we can turn it in for Mr President to commission by 12th of May when he visits Southeast and South South,” he said.

Rep. Cyril Hart Clarifies Tax Reforms, Slashes Claims of Former Governor Amaechi
Abuja, Nigeria – Hon. Cyril Hart, Member of the House of Representatives, has clarified recent tax reforms, dismissing misinformation spread by former Governor Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi.
Hart explained that VAT on building materials remains 7.5%, contrary to claims of a 25% increase. He emphasized that the 25% Company Income Tax applies to taxable income, not invoice value or turnover.
“Government will NOT take 25% of the INVOICE value of traders or anyone,” Hart stated. Small businesses with ₦100 million turnover are exempt from Tax, and Company Income Tax was reduced from 30% to 25%.
Hart urged citizens to disregard Amaechi’s claims, saying tax law is technical and requires proper interpretation. The reforms aim to ease burdens on small businesses and workers, with effects already visible in reduced PAYE deductions.
