Ahead of the November 11, 2023 governorship elections in Kogi, Bayelsa and Imo Atates, APC Professionals Council has urged voters to vote massively for the candidates of the party.
The council in a statement yesterday signed by its national director-general, Hon. Seyi Bamigbade, said votes for Usman Ododo, Timipre Sylva and Governor Hope Uzodinma who are flag bearers of the party in Kogi, Bayelsa and Imo states are a votes to reap bountifully at the centre under the people-oriented policies of President Bola Tinubu in putting the people at the forefront.
Bamigbade said while Ododo has demonstrated capacity in his professional endeavour, rising to the rank of the Auditor General of the local government, if elected would continue with the developmental strides of Governor Yahaya Bello in the state.
He stated further, “In Bayelsa, former Governor Timipre Sylva is an astute leader who has held several positions of authority and has played key roles in the development of our party in the state and across the country.
“His legacies as former governor of the state are still there for all to see, a capacity which he equally demonstrated as the minister of state for petroleum under the administration of ex-President Muhammadu Buhari.
“In Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma has shown that the APC is a party to be trusted in the South East region and elsewhere in the country. The infrastructure renewal, massive empowerment of youths and women are all clear signal that Hope abounds in Imo.’’
