Anambra APGA Acting Woman Leader, Umerie Promises Inclusive Leadership, Unity
The Acting Woman Leader of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Anambra State, Mrs. Chinwe Umerie, has pledged to run an all-inclusive administration, promote unity, and empower women in politics as she assumes office.
Speaking during her inaugural meeting with the twenty-one Local Government APGA women leaders in Anambra State, Mrs. Umerie commended her predecessor, Mrs. Esther Onyekesi, for her contributions to the welfare of women and the growth of the All Progressives Grand Alliance in the state, and assured of her readiness to serve with integrity, transparency, and accountability.
She charged the APGA women leaders to embark on strengthening ward structures, grassroots mobilization, reconnecting with women, registering new members, identifying polling-unit coordinators, supporting party candidates, among others.
Mrs. Umerie disclosed that the decision of APGA to support the re-election of President Bola Tinubu is based on the fact that the progressives are working together in the overall interest of national development, and she pointed out that their responsibility as women leaders is to ensure that every woman understands the importance of supporting the political direction agreed upon by the APGA leadership, while remaining steadfast in their commitment to APGA’s growth and electoral success.
The APGA State Woman Leader urged all Local Government women leaders to hold strategic monthly meetings and submit monthly activity reports, visit wards regularly with documented evidence, recruit women members, resolve conflicts quickly, and mentor young women, while assuring that her office will be open to consultative leadership where every Local Government Area matters equally, performance will be recognized, and rewarded.
