Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, is not a threat to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Imo State, according to Governor Hope Uzodinma of that state.
In an interview with a Channels TV programme, Uzodinma declared that he is a politician, that his party is still the APC, and that his party has candidates up for election.
The governor stated that he was worried about the results of his campaign for his party and that he is now consulting and urging the public to support APC candidates.
“I don’t want to join issues with Peter Obi, who you know is not a member of my party. But I know members of APC are obedient to APC,” he said.
When challenged for using the word ‘obedient’ when referring to those loyal to APC, Uzodinma said “the meaning of obedience in English is that loyalty to the party is supreme and sacrosanct.”
“In my own dictionary, what is there is APC. I am very confident that the reasonable minds in Imo State will vote for my party,” he added.
“I am extremely convinced that the sane minds in Imo State will vote for my party,” he said.
He said when he became governor in 2020, many roads in the state were in terrible condition and that he had transformed the state as at this moment.
