From Adesuwa Tsan, Abuja
The Imo State chapter of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has launched an aggressive membership mobilisation drive following its first inaugural State Executive Committee meeting held in Owerri.
The state chairman, Barr. Reginald Uwakwe, who addressed party officials at the meeting, said the newly registered party had already commenced grassroots expansion through its online membership portal, barely two months after securing official recognition.
Uwakwe disclosed that prospective members are required to register using either their National Identification Number (NIN) or Permanent Voter Card (PVC), in line with guidelines from the party’s national leadership.
He further revealed that the leadership in Abuja had set a minimum target of 300 registered members per ward, urging party officers to intensify mobilisation by distributing registration links and printed forms across their respective areas.

As part of efforts to strengthen the party’s structure, the chairman announced the immediate constitution of two key committees, the Contact and Mobilisation Committee, as well as the Finance Committee, to drive outreach and resource coordination.
Also speaking, the South-East National Vice Chairman of the party, Chief Tedy Obey, emphasised the need for all party officials to complete their registration online, stressing that effective mobilisation, particularly among women and youths, remains critical to the party’s growth.
He said the directive from the national leadership underscored the importance of building a strong grassroots base, urging interim state officers to remain committed, with assurances that their efforts would be rewarded.
In her remarks, the State Woman Leader, Mrs. Uche Judith Ngozi, expressed confidence in the party’s prospects, citing the calibre of its membership and pledging to deploy her political experience towards its expansion.
Meanwhile, Uwakwe noted that efforts were ongoing to fully establish party structures across wards, local government areas and zonal levels in the state.
