Why APC won against Imo and Kogi – Uzodinma
[ad_1]
Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State has revealed that the All Progressives Congress (APC) won the state and Kogi during the off-cycle elections due to the party’s growing popularity.
Mr Uzodinma maintained that Nigerians were happy with the All Progressives Congress (APC) following the influence of President Bola Tinubu.
In Imo, Uzodinma won re-election defeating rivals from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and Labor Party.
APC candidate Usman Ododo also won in Kogi State, while PDP won in Bayelsa State and Governor Douye Diri was re-elected.
Uzodinma and Ododo visited Tinubu at the Presidential Villa and handed him his certificate of return.
Speaking during the visit, Uzodinma said the APC’s victories in Kogi and Imo states showed the party’s “growing popularity”.
Uzodinma said: “Recall that in the November 11 elections, our great political party, APC, rose in popularity and won in Kogi and Imo states.
“Our victory in the polls shows that Nigerians are still very happy with the APC. Nigerians voted en masse for the president and this victory was carried through voters in Kogi and Imo states. This corroborated this claim.
“We therefore decided to pay our respects to the President and take this opportunity to thank him for his support, advice and wisdom.
“He’s taking what he’s passed on to us and the accomplishments he’s recorded since becoming president and most of us are using to convince voters to vote for us.”
