Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma revealed that the All Progressives Congress, or APC, benefited from the party’s increasing popularity by winning both his state and Kogi during the off-cycle election.
After President Bola Tinubu’s speech, Uzodinma stated that Nigerians are satisfied with the All Progressives Congress, or APC.
Uzodinma prevailed over opponents from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and Labour Party to win reelection in Imo.
APC’s candidate, Usman Ododo also emerged victorious in Kogi State, but PDP won in Bayelsa State with Governor Douye Diri reelected.
Uzodinma and Ododo visited Tinubu at the presidential Villa to present him with their certificates of return.
Speaking during the visit, Uzodinma said APC’s victory in Kogi and Imo states showed the “growing popularity” of the party.
According to Uzodinma: “You recall that the election of November 11, our great party, APC, is growing in popularity and came out successfully in Kogi and Imo states.
“Our victory at the polls shows that Nigerians are still very happy with the APC. Nigerians voted en-mass for the President and this victory validates this claim through the voters in Kogi state and Imo state.
“So we have come to honour the president and also use the opportunity to thank him for his support, advice, and wisdom.
“He imparted on us and achievements he has recorded since he became the president which most of us leverage on to be able to convince the voters to vote for us.”
