Recently, the Anambra State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) successfully transitioned from the outgoing Caretaker Committee to the newly elected State Executive, marking a significant milestone in the party’s history. This achievement was celebrated during the Unity Gala programme at the Dora Akunyili Women Development Centre in Awka, where outgoing Chairman Engr. Chigozie Igwe and former Chairman Hon. Sir Ndubuisi Nwobu received awards for their outstanding contributions to the party’s unity and growth.
In his address, Engr. Igwe expressed his gratitude, stating, “This transition is not just a change of leadership but a testament to our collective commitment to the values and principles that define our party. I am confident that under the new leadership, we will continue to build on the solid foundation we have laid.”
The new State Chairman, Barr. Chidi Chidebe, praised Engr. Igwe and Hon. Nwobu for their dedication, hard work, and leadership. He acknowledged the recent Congress organized by Igwe as the most organized, transparent, and impactful in the party’s history. “The unity and progress we have achieved are a direct result of the tireless efforts of leaders like Engr. Igwe and Hon. Nwobu. It is now our responsibility to carry this momentum forward,” Barr. Chidebe emphasized.
Barr. Chidebe outlined a comprehensive agenda to stimulate the party’s growth, focusing on reunifying and reconciling party members, strengthening the party structure, building strategic partnerships, re-energizing electoral machinery, and promoting accountability and transparency. This agenda aims to foster unity, grassroots engagement, and electoral success, building on the progress made by Engr. Igwe.
The event was attended by prominent party stakeholders, including Dr. CC Okeke, former member of the House of Representatives, Chief Felix Oli, Chairman of the Anambra State PDP Elders Council, and Hon.
