Tinubu to Lead APC Governors to Owerri for Party’s 10th Anniversary Book Launch, Commission Uzodimma’s Legacy Projects

September 26, 2025

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will on Tuesday, September 30, 2025, lead governors and top leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to Owerri, Imo State, for the public presentation of a book chronicling the party’s achievements in its first decade in office.

The book, authored by Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State, documents the milestones of the APC since it assumed leadership at the federal level in 2015, and is expected to serve as both a reference point and a compendium of the party’s developmental strides.

According to a statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary/ Special Adviser (Media) to the Governor, Oguwike Nwachuku, the event will take place at the newly built Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu International Conference Centre (EIICC), Owerri, with President Tinubu serving as Special Guest of Honour.

Governor Uzodimma, who spoke to journalists on Thursday after inspecting some of the projects slated for commissioning, disclosed that the President’s visit would also feature the unveiling of key legacy projects undertaken by his administration.

Among the projects lined up for commissioning are the completely rebuilt 26-kilometre Owerri–Mbaise–Obowo–Umuahia road, a new flyover linking Port Harcourt and Onitsha with improved access around the Assumpta Cathedral Roundabout, and the ultra-modern Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu International Conference Centre (EIICC).

The governor emphasized that the visit would not only mark a milestone for Imo State but also highlight the APC’s record of performance across Nigeria.

“The APC is set to celebrate a decade of leadership in Nigeria with a significant meeting in Owerri, Imo State,” Uzodimma stated. “All is set to host the President as the guest of honour and the leadership of the APC at the newly constructed Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu nternational Conference Centre, where a compendium detailing the party’s achievements, compiled by a dedicated team led by the Progressives Governors’ Forum, will be launched.”

He stressed that the event would showcase both national and state-level progress achieved under the APC, pointing to the infrastructural transformation in Imo State as an example of the party’s commitment to good governance.

“We are not talking of promises anymore. We are discussing performance, visionary leadership, and the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” the governor said.

Governor Uzodimma expressed satisfaction with the quality of work executed on the projects, commending the contractors for delivering to standard, while reiterating his administration’s zero tolerance for substandard work.


The event is expected to draw political leaders, stakeholders, and residents of Imo State, who have already expressed excitement ahead of the President’s visit.

I presented brand new Land Cruisers to all former Deputy Governors of Akwa Ibom State as a token of appreciation for their years of service and sacrifice.

Their dedication has helped shape our State’s progress, and it’s only fitting they enjoy comfort as they continue to share their wisdom with us. Thank you for your service!

You didn't say but including his name in the line up could be interpreted as such, as the others, except him, are dead.

That's the problem of the person that is interpreting it that way.

Serious traffic & flood at Chisco were the culprits. Also, a truck had fallen & blocked the lane for those turning back to Lekki and those going towards House on the Rock.

So, the Chisco intersection was ground zero, Chisco towards Lekki was free, & also Chisco towards Jakande.

[7:15PM] #Vi #TrafficUpdate

Vi is currently experiencing a pronounced level of vehicular congestion, precipitated by a substantial backlog of traffic emanating from the Chisco axis.

This has culminated in a traffic gridlock within our designated axis, encompassing key locations such as Akin Adeshola, Law School, Ozumba Way, Adeola Odeku, Adetokunbo Ademola, Ahmadu Bello Way, and extending to Eko Hotel through Oniru, with the stretch leading to Marwa Road inward being particularly congested at this time.

Our officers are actively on ground to manage the situation and mitigate any potential disruptions.

The Kusenla Junction (aka Chisco) on the Lekki - Epe Expressway was heavily flooded on Tuesday and this caused a massive traffic jam that stretched all the way back into Victoria Island. Many streets within Lekki and Victoria Island were blocked with traffic.

The flood came from a rainstorm that began in the morning after people had left home for work or school. The rain continued till evening time.

The situation was made worse by the fact that a container truck had fallen at that same junction early that morning and it had not been removed by the time the rain started.

The road was free after Chisco, but everywhere from Chisco to Victoria Island was completely blocked.

Dear Lagosians,

We sincerely sympathize with all residents who were affected by the flash floods witnessed in parts of the State yesterday. We understand the discomfort and disruption it caused and we deeply empathize with those who were affected.

As a coastal city, Lagos is naturally vulnerable to flooding, especially during periods of heavy rainfall combined with tidal lock. Despite this, the State Government has continued to invest in drainage infrastructure, regular desilting, and enforcement of environmental laws to minimize flooding incidents and protect lives and property.

We must also provide clarity on some of the affected areas. At Kusenla, the challenge is technical: the downstream is about 1.2 meters higher than the invert of the existing drainage, as confirmed by the survey conducted for the ongoing project awarded by the State government at the end of Kusenla road which includes a pumping station. Around House on the Rock church, the flooding was linked to infractions we highlighted earlier; illegal construction on flood plains and dumping of refuse in drains. These kinds of activities worsen flooding and must stop.

We appeal for understanding and continued cooperation from the public. Keeping our environment clean, refraining from dumping refuse into drains, and avoiding construction on floodplains are vital to achieving a flood-free Lagos. In several of the videos shared yesterday, clear infractions were observed, and @followlasg will ensure that such illegal structures and obstructions are promptly removed. Including those illegal reclamations carried out without the requisite Environmental Impact Assessment Report and the Drainage Clearance.

We also wish to assure residents that the flooding was a flash flood in some parts of the State and has since receded this morning. The Ministry remains committed to strengthening our flood management systems, but this effort requires the support and responsible actions of all Lagosians.

Together, we can build a safer, cleaner, and more resilient Lagos.
