During the inauguration, the national chairman of the APC said:
“Let Abia go and sit together. All the national elections – House of Representatives, Senate, governorship, presidential election – we will not be satisfied with just the 25 percent of the vote cast.
“We need the majority of the vote cast for APC. No halfway about it. If we are to win, we must try to win every state.
“We have to do some work and stand together. This is the time to unite; this is the time to work for unity. If we do, God will be with us.”
The national chairman in a reconciliation attempt begged aggrieved members of the party to cooperate with the leaders of the party in the state.
In his remark, the leader of the eight-man committee, Senator Adighije made a pledge to the national chairman that he will reunite the party in Abia State.
He said:
“We are on our way back to Abia to play the local politics, reconcile all our members and ensure that we go straight for the low-hanging fruits.
“I know that by the grace of God and with the team, we are going to do the needful and ensure victory for our party.”
