In a move to familiarize with APC leadership in the Senatorial Districts, the APC LGA Chairmen of Rivers West Senatorial District Local Government Chairmen of the party met with Chief Dumo Lulu-Briggs on Saturday 8th July, 2017, to deliberate on the ways of working collectively to present the party in the Senatorial District of the State, as an alternative to the governance of the State in 2019.
The meeting centred on ways of fostering the unity of the party at the grassroots.
In their separate speeches, the Chairmen pledged their unalloyed loyalty to Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi the super Minister of Transportation, as the leader of the party in the State. The meeting passed a vote of confidence on the party’s leadership at the State, Senatorial District leadership level and the style of quality leadership adopted by the Ubima born history making politician.
Responding, Chief (Barr) Dumo Lulu-Briggs thanked them for being timely in attending the meeting. He informed them that the party’s victory at the Election Petition Tribunal which aroused the hope and trust that the party is waxing stronger in Rivers East and South-East, will be replicated at the Court of Appeal and advised the Senatorial district party Chairmen to open their arms wide to receive decamping members from other political parties. He also added that regular meetings should be convened at the local Government, wards and units to discuss issues affecting the party and address them squarely and report unresolved issues to the State Executive arm through the proper mediums of the party for quick resolution. Assuring them that this kind of feedback mechanism will further strengthen the existing synergy in the party and will as well serve as precautionary measure to forestall disunity among members. He further reiterated the importance of leaders at the Senatorial level, to always put their communications lines open for proper dissemination of vital progressive information from members as it will serve as a vehicle to reinforce the confidence of the followers with the assurance that his own communication lines are open for contact on ways of moving the party forward.
The Rivers born business tycoon, advised the Chairmen to encourage, mobilize and monitor members to register in the on-going INEC Voters Registration at the Local Government Council Headquarters close to them.
Finally, Chief Barr. Dumo Lulu-Briggs assured the Chairmen of his Senatorial District of his absolute and unreserved loyalty to building a formidable party structure in partnership with all interested party faithful and encouraged them to prioritize party’s interest above individual interest.
