In a communique released to newsmen after the meeting, the party members thanked the Governor for appointing Chief Okiyi as the Commissioner for Information in the state and described his appointment as "merited and a round peg in a round hole".

Ukariwo, Honorable (Dr) Chris Nwokocha, Honorable Ejibe Kalu, Honorable Vincent Egbuta, Councillors representing Amaogudu, Amaeke and Agboji wards in the community, SSA to the Governor of Sanitation, Honorable Olu Agwu, women leader Madam Nelly Onwuka, Honorable Nnanna Awo, Chief Sunday Ifeigbo, Mayor Agwu Ude, party Chairmen and secretary of the 3 wards and others.

Speaking at the meeting, the Member representing Arochukwu/Ohafia federal constituency, Honorable Uko Nkole, assured Abiriba Community that he will continue to represent their interests at the National Assembly and vowed to ensure that the bill he proposed on the establishment of a federal polytechnic at Abiriba will be passed into law.

Honorable Nkole who listed his various constituency interventions at Abiriba appealed to the people to ensure that they get their Permanent Voters Card ready to reward the Governor for his lofty strides in the state.

Also speaking, the Leader of PDP in Abiriba, Chief Mba Ukariwo, thanked the Governor for appointing many sons and daughters of the community into his government as well as completing work on the phase 1 of Abiriba Ring Road and called on the Governor to ensure that the contractor handling the road project returns to site to execute the phase 2 of the project which he described as key to linking up the 3 major wards in the community.

Chief Ukariwo also called on the state government to speedily intervene at the erosion impacted portion of Igbere-Abiriba federal road to avoid loss of lives as, according to him, "the only major road to Abiriba has been divided in two by erosion with likelihood that the community will be cut off from the rest of the state".
