Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State has disclosed that the All Progressives Congress, APC, won in his state and Kogi during the off-cycle election due to the party\u2019s growing popularity.<\/p>\n

Uzodinma insisted that Nigerians are happy with the All Progressives Congress, APC, following the impact of President Bola Tinubu.<\/p>\n

In Imo, Uzodinma won his reelection bid after defeating rivals from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and the Labour Party.<\/p>\n

APC\u2019s candidate, Usman Ododo also emerged victorious in Kogi State, but PDP won in Bayelsa State with Governor Douye Diri reelected.<\/p>\n

Uzodinma and Ododo visited Tinubu at the presidential Villa to present him with their certificates of return.<\/p>\n

Speaking during the visit, Uzodinma said APC\u2019s victory in Kogi and Imo states showed the \u201cgrowing popularity\u201d of the party.<\/p>\n

According to Uzodinma: \u201cYou recall that the election of November 11, our great party, APC, is growing in popularity and came out successfully in Kogi and Imo states.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur victory at the polls shows that Nigerians are still very happy with the APC. Nigerians voted en-mass for the President and this victory validates this claim through the voters in Kogi state and Imo state.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo we have come to honour the president and also use the opportunity to thank him for his support, advice, and wisdom.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe imparted on us and achievements he has recorded since he became the president which most of us leverage on to be able to convince the voters to vote for us.\u201d<\/p>\n
