Abdullahi Ganduje, the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has tasked the Imo people to reelect Governor Hope Uzodimma in the November 11 poll to consolidate his achievements.

Mr Ganduje said this when he inaugurated the APC campaign council for the November election in Owerri on Saturday.

He said reelecting Mr Uzodimma would enable him to consolidate the good work he was known for.

Mr Ganduje said the choice of Governor Bassey Otu of Cross River as the leader of the campaign team was a pointer to the seriousness attached to the election by President Bola Tinubu.

He advised the people to take advantage of Mr Uzodimma’s goodwill that cut across the ethnic divide and his wisdom to secure the state’s future development.

Speaking, Mr Uzodinma thanked Mr Tinubu for giving the approval and the national leadership of the APC for its support, particularly for all the appointments they gave to Imo.

He described the APC as a movement and not a mere political party in the state and called on the people to line up behind the party in the election.

” APC is a party to beat because, from all indications, the APC is the only party in Imo that is properly positioned and ready for the November election.

“ No doubt my people are very confident and waiting for the D-Day. So, what is already known will be made formal,” he said.

He thanked the Imo people for their performance in the last general election, where they massively voted for APC at the presidential and the national assembly elections.

Also, the APC national secretary, Surajudeen Basiru, said the election would differ as the party was prepared to win in all parts of the state.
