She called for greater involvement of women in ward-level engagement, mobilisation and other party programmes, emphasising their importance in community participation and political organisation.

The commissioning of the new NDC Anaocha LGA Secretariat in Neni was one of the major highlights of the ceremony.
Beyond providing a physical location for party administration, the secretariat is expected to serve as a meeting point for party executives, members, supporters and stakeholders to coordinate activities and strengthen internal communication.
The facility is also expected to support mobilisation efforts, facilitate meetings and provide a platform for sustained engagement among party members across the local government.
The commissioning therefore represents an organisational milestone for the Anaocha chapter as it works to strengthen its structures and coordinate its activities ahead of the 2027 elections.
The inauguration of the LGA and ward executives, alongside the commissioning of the secretariat, highlights the NDC's efforts to consolidate its organisational presence in Anaocha Local Government Area.
The event brought together state and local party leadership, political candidates, women leaders and other stakeholders around a common message of grassroots development, unity and coordinated mobilisation.
With the new executives inaugurated and the secretariat commissioned, attention will now turn to how effectively the local chapter translates the momentum generated by the event into sustained engagement with communities, party members and eligible voters.
As political activities gradually build towards the 2027 general elections, the Anaocha chapter's emphasis on grassroots structures, cooperation and mobilisation is expected to remain central to its organisational efforts.
