A support group for Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma, Professionals Movement for Hope, has confidently predicted that the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) will face a disappointing outcome in the upcoming Imo State elections scheduled for November 11, 2023.
This statement was made by the leader and convener of the group, Engr. Obinna Obiozor, during an interview with pressmen in Imo State on Thursday, October 19, 2023.
The group believes that the people of Imo State are firmly behind their leader and will ensure the success of the All Progressives Congress (APC). The statement from the support group underscores the growing political tension in the state.
“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 infrastructural development, particularly its road revolution, has been the key factor that has set the administration apart and won the hearts of 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.
“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 said.
Governor Hope Uzodinma, who assumed office in January 2020, has faced his share of challenges, but his supporters remain unwavering in their commitment to his leadership. The PDP, on the other hand, is determined to make significant gains in the state and is fielding strong candidates for the upcoming elections.
The battle for Imo State’s leadership promises will be fiercely competitive. As the election date draws near, all eyes are on Imo State to witness whether the Hope Uzodinma Support Group’s prediction will hold true or if the PDP will defy the odds and secure a victory.
The people of Imo State will ultimately determine the fate of their leadership, making the upcoming election a crucial and highly anticipated event in the state’s political landscape.
