He also announced the appointment of 100 Special Advisers and four Supervisory Councillors under his administration.

The Presidents-General of the communities, alongside Women Leaders and union executives were also in attendance.
The gathering saw everyone lauding and praising Chief Charles Ogu for hosting such a well-organised and impactful programme, describing it as a demonstration of true leadership and party commitment.
“The APC is our home, and our collective future is brighter within its fold. Let no political coalition or propaganda make you doubt our direction,” Ogu said.
In her speech on behalf of the other decampees, Hon. Chinyere Chukwuocha assured of their loyalty and commitment to fully mobilise more people in support of the Hope Uzodimma-led government, while contributing their quota to the growth and continuous development of the APC.
