Consolidating APC’s Grassroots Strength
Addressing the leaders, Dr. Odey-Ekpo emphasised the need for polling unit leaders to adopt proactive measures that would ensure the party’s continuous visibility and acceptance in the community. She stressed that political growth begins at the grassroots and urged the leaders to remain steadfast in mobilising support.
“The progress of our party depends on the strength of its foundation at the grassroots. We must work hand in hand to ensure our people feel the impact of APC at every level,” she noted.
Call for Unity and Dedication
Reaffirming her commitment to community development and inclusive politics, the Commissioner underscored unity, teamwork, and dedication as indispensable pillars of political success. She encouraged the ward leaders to put collective interest above personal ambition and ensure that the structures in Ugaga Ward become a model for others in Cross River State.
A Renewed Grassroots Strategy
