Ahead of the Nov. 11 governorship election in Kogi, Bayelsa and Imo States, APC Professionals Council has urged voters to vote massively for the candidates of All Progressives Congress (APC).
This is contained in a statement on Sunday signed by the council’s National Director General, Amb. Seyi Bamigbade.
According to him, a vote for Usman Ododo, Timipre Sylva and Gov. Hope Uzodinma who are flag bearers of the party in Kogi, Bayelsa and Imo States is a vote to reap bountifully at the centre under the people-oriented policies of President Bola Tinubu in putting the people at the forefront.
Amb. Bamigbade noted that while Ododo has demonstrated capacity in his professional endeavour, rising to the rank of the Auditor General of the local government, if elected, we would continue with the developmental strides of Gov Yahaya Bello in the state.
He stated further, “In Bayelsa, former Governor Timipre Sylva is an astute leader who has held several positions of authority and has played key roles in the development of our party in the state and across the country.
“His legacies as former governor of the state are still there for all to see, a capacity which he equally demonstrated as the Minister of State for Petroleum under the administration of ex-President Muhammadu Buhari.
“In Imo, governor Hope Uzodinma has shown that the APC is a party to be trusted in the Southeast region and elsewhere in the country. The infrastructural renewal, massive empowerment of youths and women are all clear signal that Hope abounds in Imo.
“Therefore as you all go out this Saturday to vote, support these candidates for greater prosperity of the states”.
The three are among the states where INEC conducts off-season election and a fresh poll will hold Nov. 11 to elect news governors.
