PGF Chairman and Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma, emphasized the importance of party unity, likening governance to a shared responsibility.
“The success of the government is our collective success. We must market this government like a product,” he stated.
Finance Minister Wale Edun also spoke at the event, highlighting the administration’s economic achievements, including:
- Reducing inflation
- Stabilizing the exchange rate
- Lowering food and energy prices
He credited Tinubu’s bold policies for these improvements and reiterated the government’s commitment to supporting the poor and vulnerable.
