The well-attended occasion, which held at the country home of one of the influential Imo North technocrats, Innocent Enwenaonu, on the hills of Umuzu, Umuchienta, Elugwu/Umuchienta autonomous community in Atonerim Ward, Ihitte/Uboma Local Government Area, Imo State, drew youth leaders, political stakeholders and community mobilisers from across the six local governments areas of Imo North. The event was attended by the SPY-V members for its significance in strengthening the group’s structure ahead of the next election cycle.
