Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Hope Uzodinma, Governor of Imo State, has insisted that governors from the South-Eastern region of the country and many others would join the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the next general elections in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Uzodinma spoke to journalists at the Presidential Villa after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The governor challenged Nigerians to provide him with reasons why the APC should not win the 2023 elections.<\/p>\n

While answering a question of whether more governors from the Southeast would defect to the APC, Uzodinma said, \u201cNot just from the South-east, many governors in Nigeria will join the APC.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cPart of the problem of this government is the deliberate attempt by some group of people to pull it down.<\/p>\n

Attacks: Unknown gunmen are our young men, women \u2013 Gov Umahi<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause nobody is telling me that this government isn\u2019t performing, that salaries aren\u2019t being paid or that the roads aren\u2019t being constructed or the railway isn\u2019t going, or the various intervention funds to empower our youths aren\u2019t being given out.<\/p>\n

\u201cNobody has come in concrete terms to accuse this government of one failure or the other. All we hear is that herdsmen and farmers are fighting and for that reason, two hundred people are kidnapped. People are shot down there, people are killed there.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat do you want the government to do? We must be realistic. I believe in pragmatism. Can anybody come and tell me one, two, three reasons why this APC shouldn\u2019t win in the next election?<\/p>\n

\u201cAll I hear is that because of insecurity this, insecurity that. But you send people out in the night to go and cause trouble and use it in the day to blame the government.\u201d<\/p>\n
