Imo guber: Uzodinma won’t win any polling unit in credible election, says PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says Hope Uzodinma, governor of Imo, won’t win any polling unit in a free, fair and credible election.

Speaking with journalists on Tuesday in Abuja, Debo Ologunagba, PDP spokesperson, alleged that Uzodinma, who is seeking re-election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has been rejected by the people for performing below expectations.

He said Samuel Anyanwu, the PDP standard-bearer in Imo, will win the November 11 gubernatorial election in the state because of his acceptability.

“The APC knows that it does not have the mandate of the people. Governor Uzodimma has no visible organic support base in any part of Imo state,” he said.

“The indicators are clear and the November 11, 2023 election will not be different. Governor Uzodimma will not win in any polling unit in a free, fair and transparent election because Imo people have found a credible, sincere, humane and approachable leader in senator Anyanwu.”

Ologunagba said the people of the state will resist any attempt to manipulate the governorship election in Imo, adding that Anyanwu enjoys support across the state.

The PDP called for the redeployment of Sylvia Agu, the resident electoral commissioner (REC) of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), claiming that he is not apolitical.
