.. _.Association Leaders on solidarity visit to Imo APC Chairman Acknowledged Governor’s Transformative Impact on Imo State’s Infrastructure_
Owerri, Imo State – October 18, 2023 – In a display of solidarity and appreciation, the Owerri Tyre Dealers Association’s leadership paid a visit to Hon. MacDonald Ebere, PhD, the Imo State Party Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the State Party Secretariat of Imo APC. Led by their State Chairman, Chief Uche Okafor, the delegation extended their heartfelt gratitude to Governor Hope Uzodimma for the remarkable infrastructural transformations that have reshaped the landscape of Imo State during his tenure.

Speaking during the meeting, Chief Uche Okafor commended Governor Uzodimma for the substantial improvements in the state’s road network, particularly the vital connections between Imo State and its neighboring states. He humorously noted the days when their customers within Owerri had to traverse rough roads to reach their establishments, resulting in inefficiencies and losses. However, since Governor Uzodimma assumed office, the transportation of goods has become remarkably efficient, enabling businesses to receive supplies in record time.

The Chairman of the Tyre Dealers Association also acknowledged the Governor’s commendable efforts in eliminating burdensome taxes and levies that had previously strained their businesses financially.
In response to the association’s visit, Hon. MacDonald Ebere expressed his gratitude and underlined the pivotal role played by the Tyre dealers in the state’s economy. He assured them of the continued protection of their interests and the importance of sustaining the momentum of development initiated by Governor Uzodimma.

Hon. MacDonald Ebere added, “Governor Uzodimma’s leadership has brought a new dawn to Imo State. The transformation we’ve witnessed in infrastructure and the ease of doing business is a testament to his commitment to the prosperity of our great state. The Owerri Tyre Dealers Association’s support is crucial in ensuring that this progress continues.”

He went on to emphasize the importance of maintaining this progress by re-electing Governor Uzodimma, stating, “Your support in mobilizing votes for the Governor’s second term bid is essential. We cannot afford to lose the momentum we have built. Let us work together to secure Imo State’s future.”

The meeting also saw members of the Owerri Tyre Dealers Association express their unwavering commitment to actively mobilize support for Governor Uzodimma’s re-election. They pledged to work tirelessly to secure his victory in the upcoming elections. Hon. MacDonald Ebere assured them that their activities would be consistently reported to Governor Uzodimma.

Joining the State Party Chairman in the meeting were the Organizing Secretary of Imo APC, Hon. Ikechukwu Umeh, Owerri Municipal APC Chairman, Hon. Onyekachi Ibezim, and Owerri Municipal APC Youth Leader, Comrade Onuoha Onyewuchi.

As the meeting concluded on a positive note, the Owerri Tyre Dealers Association left Hon. MacDonald Ebere’s office with a renewed sense of purpose. Their visit exemplified their determination to support Governor Uzodimma’s second term bid and their appreciation for the transformative infrastructural developments he has spearheaded. With their commitment to spreading the message of the Governor’s achievements, the association leaders are poised to play a significant role in shaping the political landscape of Imo State in the forthcoming elections.
