Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members in Amaimo Ward, Ikeduru Local Government Area of Imo state, have hosted their son, Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu, who was recently elected the new National Secretary of the party.

A statement by Special Adviser (Media) to the PDP National Secretary, Ikenna Onuoha, indicates that the event, which was put together by various PDP structures in the area, attracted leaders and stakeholders, not only in Amaimo Ward and Ikeduru LGA in particular, but Imo state at large.

Expressing joy over the gesture, Senator Anyanwu appreciated the organizers for the surprise reception, assuring them of his commitment not to disappoint them.

He told them to continue to sustain the peace and tranquility existing currently in the party, while appealing to those aggrieved to come back to the fold.

Anyanwu stated that the door of PDP was widely open to accommodate everyone, and warned those fanning the embers of discord to shun politics of rancour and acrimony but work to ensure victory in the 2023 elections.

“What PDP needs now is for everyone to embark on membership drive, to spread the message of peace, unity and genuine reconciliation. I urge you today to use the same strength, energy and sincerity of purpose you have displayed to propagate the party to the grassroots.

“As you can see, APC has woefully failed Nigerians and the need to show them the way out is imminent and non-negotiable. PDP cannot do it alone without you who are dedicated members with the burning desire to be part of the success story of this great nation.” The PDP National Secretary said.

Speaking, the PDP Chairman in Ikeduru LGA, Hon. Jeofrey Ihemtuge, commended the leadership of the Ward for their pro-activeness in moving the Party forward, and described the reception as worthwhile.

While expressing happiness, the LGA Party Boss called on other members of the party to always show gratitude whenever God remembers them, advising Amaimo people to continue to maintain the spirit of love and togetherness.

Earlier in his remarks, Chairman of the party in the Ward, Comrade Solomon Agham, said that members decided to organize the reception for their son as a way of showing appreciation for his emergence as National Secretary of PDP.

Comrade Agham disclosed that all necessary machineries have been put in place to ensure victory of the party in future elections in the Ward, and called on their members to remain steadfast in their avowed efforts to take the party to enviable heights.

He said that some aggrieved members who left PDP due to unresolved issues have started indicating interest to come back, assuring that his leadership would not leave any stone unturned to ensure they were brought back.
