Why Imo People Will Vote For Uzodimma – Group

A support group, Professionals Movement for Hope, has said people of Imo State would demonstrate love and support for Governor Hope Uzodimma by re-electing him in the November 11, 2023 governorship election.

The group stated this while replying the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) which claimed that Uzodimma cannot win a credible election in the state.

Convener of the group, Engineer Obinna Obiozor, in a statement yesterday, said the achievements of the Uzodimma administration anchored on his shared prosperity agenda had endeared him to the people.

He said no propaganda by the opposition parties can change the love Imolites have for the governor.

The convener said the overwhelming votes given to the All Progressives Congress at the last House of Assembly election by the people of Imo was a vote of confidence in Uzodimma’s government.

He said, “Our people know the leaders that love them; they know that Uzodimma has served them meritoriously in the last three years, and we are happy that our people are also very appreciative of what his government has done, just as they demonstrated during the last election. Those who still think Uzodimma isn’t overwhelmingly popular are amnesiacs because we wonder why they quickly forgot how our people in Imo gave the APC a landslide victory in an election conducted a few months ago.

“This government’s infrastructure development, particularly its road revolution has been the key factor that has set the administration apart and won the hearts of the Imo people. The massive electoral support they gave the APC in March is a clear indication that the people of Imo have wholeheartedly embraced Uzodimma’s efforts.

“The overwhelming and unprecedented support is a vote of confidence in his government’s achievements over the last three years, which is both fulfilling and a call for them to redouble their efforts towards more projects and greater dedication to duty.

“As professionals canvassing for good governance that is capable of engendering prosperity for all, we are happy to know that Uzodimma operates a government that is open and transparent; he engages and connects with the people regularly by rendering reports of his stewardship to his people.”

The group chided the national leadership of the PDP for insinuating that the party could upstage the APC in Imo, describing the party as contesting the election ‘only for relevance’ as the APC remains the only formidable party in the state.
