The All Progressive Congress (APC) symbolic flag has been given by President Bola Tinubu to candidates running for governor of the states of Bayelsa, Kogi, and Imo.
At the Presidential Villa Abuja on Thursday, the President congratulated the candidates from Imo, Bayelsa, and Kogi states, Hope Uzodinma, Timipreye Sylva, and Ahmed Ododo, well in the upcoming off-season elections on November 11.
Remember that the off-season elections in the three states were scheduled to take place on November 11, 2023 by the Independent National Electoral Commission, or INEC.
The National Chairman of the APC, Abdullahi Ganduje, led the three candidates to the Presidential Villa, where the flags were handed down to them.
Tinubu in a few remarks said, “Your Excellencies, particularly the governor of Kogi who is working hard to hand over to another product of our party, Usman Ododo, we’re happy to have you here.
“Hope Uzodinma, the great hope of our party and the Chairman, Progressive Governors Forum. Thank you for the good job you have been doing.
“Timipre Sylva, congratulations on what you’ve achieved as a former governor and a former minister of petroleum resources.
” We are all fronting a crusade for democracy, in particular, in this off season election. It’s our hope and my hope, we believe you will all always come victorious.
“We pray God Almighty to give you victory. Many thanks to our party leadership, National Working Committee, and our hardworking chairman is doing a good job. And thank you for all you are doing. Well, I’m ready.”
