The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Imo State, Austin Onyedebelu, has vowed that the party will do everything possible to secure the re-election of President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.
Onyedebelu made the declaration during a stakeholders’ meeting between the State Working Committee and APC officials from the nine local government areas and 105 wards in Owerri Zone.
The meeting was attended by local government party executives, ward executives, elected council chairmen, councillors and other party stakeholders.
Addressing the gathering, the APC chairman said unity remained the party’s greatest strength and urged members to work together to ensure overwhelming victories for President Tinubu and other APC candidates in the state.
He warned party officials that they would be held accountable for the party’s performance in their respective areas.
“If you lose our votes we are going to hold you responsible. Don’t tell us why you failed after the election.
“Tell us now what will make you fail so we can address it. If there is anything or any leader that will sabotage our efforts, you must tell us now for us to address it,” he said.
Onyedebelu also urged members to focus on genuine grassroots mobilisation rather than seeking shortcuts, stressing that electoral victory could only be achieved through legitimate votes.
According to him, unity within the party remains the key to winning elections.
He further cautioned members against engaging in anti-party activities, warning that those who work against the APC would ultimately gain nothing.
“If you support the opposition to win against your party, when they begin to share the proceeds of victory, they will first reward their own party members before remembering you,” he added.
The APC chairman also described the 2027 general elections as crucial to Owerri Zone’s ambition of producing the next governor of Imo State.
