PDP: In Free, Fair Poll, Uzodimma Can’t Win One Unit

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said given a free, fair, transparent and credible governorship election in Imo State, Governor Hope Uzodimma, could not win a single Polling Unit.

The PDP asserted that all electoral indicators in the state showed that Uzodimma and his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) had been rejected by the people and had no fighting chance before the more popular PDP candidate, Senator Samuel Anyanwu in the November 11, 2023 governorship election.

National Publicity Secretary of the party, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, who stated this while speaking to newsmen in Abuja, emphasised that Uzodimma had never won election in Imo State and had never enjoyed the support of the people.

“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 has never won in any election in the state because he is detached from the people, including in his home, Orlu zone.

“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.

“That is why the APC has been resorting to violence and intimidation of innocent citizens, destruction of property and devising various means to frustrate opposition parties in the electoral process and to compromise institutions of democracy, having realized that it cannot win in a peaceful, free and fair contest.

“But I can assure you that the people of Imo State are bigger than the APC and they are resolved to resist the APC particularly in the coming election,” Ologunagba stated.

Stating that Senator Anyanwu enjoyed the highest spread of support across Imo State, the PDP counseled Uzodimma and the APC to perish the thought of rigging the November 11, 2023 governorship election as the people would never allow their mandate “which they have decided to give to Senator Anyanwu to be stolen by anybody.”
