He said, “Your leadership has united the party in Imo state, no wonder every issue of division and faction have faced off. Imo PDP youths were carefully chosen as great and trusted party faithful. Our joy is that no youth leader as of today in Imo state is a saboteur. Therefore, the youths are happy with the level of your open door policy and accessibility”.
Hon Eburuaja expressed happiness on the working relationship existing amongst the youth and the National Secretary of the party, and promised to resist any external influence aimed at destabilizing the party in the state.
