Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma has revealed why the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) will win in the South-East during the 2023 general election.
Uzodinma Says APC Will Win South-East In 2023
Speaking at a seminar organized by the APC for its candidates in Owerri, the governor said Igbos would vote for the APC in the 2023 election because it is the only party with structures in all the 774 Local Government Areas of the country.
“APC is already winning and will win in the South-East because APC is the only political party that has party structure at the polling units and booths in all 774 LGAs of the country,” he said.
Uzodimma, who is also the Chairman of the APC Presidential Campaign Council in the South-East, said that the seminar was aimed at planning for successful electioneering campaigns for the 2023 poll.
“The participants must carry others along as they cannot lead or win elections in isolation,” he said.
He said that the South-East has every cause to appreciate what President Muhammadu Buhari has done for the zone in his almost eight years as the President of Nigeria.
Uzodinma listed the president’s achievements in the South-East including the second Niger Bridge and the rehabilitation of the Federal Highways in the zone.
Others were the establishment of a Naval Base in Oguta LGA of Imo State as well as the ongoing reconstruction of the 200-bed hospital at Imo University State Teaching Hospital Orlu by NNPC, among others.
He cautioned members of the party against deceit by groups who often claim to support the South-East Presidency after they failed to support aspirants from the zone at the presidential primaries of the APC.
“The Igbo people have been a victim of mistaken identity. There is the need for the South-East to take their destiny in their own hands because if you don’t say I am, nobody will say you are,” he said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the seminar was attended by executives and members of the APC across the South-East as well as present and former political office holders of the party.
KanyiDaily recalls that Governor Hope Uzodinma also said Igbos love Nigeria and are passionate about promoting unity and peace across the country.
