He said as a member of the NEC that participated in the decision, he was satisfied that President Muhammadu Buhari means well not only for the party but for the country.

The Imo Governor said it would be ridiculous and impudent of him to criticise the NEC’S decision presided over by the President himself.

Uzodinma suggested that it would be mischievous for anybody to bring disagreement among NEC members, insisting that he remains a loyal party man regardless of his position as a governor.

He called on all APC members in the South-East to support the caretaker committee and give the members the required cooperation.

Governor Uzodinma assured that as the leader of APC in lmo State, he would work closely with other leaders in the South-East to realise the vision of the President for the party.
