Uzodimma replaced Atiku Bagudu, former governor of Kebbi, who left office on May 29.
Nwifuru said Uzodimma’s election was a welcome development.
“Your emergence speaks volumes of your strength of character, leadership dexterity, unwavering loyalty and commitment to the party.
"It is an understatement to say that you have contributed significantly to the growth and development of the party.
"You have not only spread the party’s tentacles in the South East geo-political zone but also ensured that it is firmly rooted in the zone,” he said.
Nwifuru promised his administration’s alliance in boosting the party to win all elective positions in successive elections.
“Accept our warmest congratulations as you go about discharging your duties with acclaimed excellent panache,” he added.
