Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State has been appointed to head the All Progressives Congress, APC Presidential Campaign in South East.
The party said the appointment was as a result of his tenacity in ensuring that the party wins all the elective positions in the zone ahead of 2023 General Elections.
The appointment followed moves by the ruling party to create Zonal Directorates for the six geopolitical zones.
The party said each of the geopolitical zones is to be headed by a serving Governor as rectified by the National Working Committee(NWC) and approved by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Uzodimma few weeks ago had assured South-east stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) that he and his fellow governors will ensure that peace and adequate security of lives and properties returns to the zone before the forthcoming general elections.
He charged the reconciliation committee of the party to ensure that they bring everybody onboard while reminding party executives and faithful of their duties to man their polling units, wards and local government areas on election days and see that the party is voted for at all levels.
This appointment brings more responsibility and encouragement to Gov. Hope Uzodimma who has been vocal about his desire to see the entire South-east become an APC zone and will further work towards galvanizing votes for the APC and its Presidential Candidate in 2023.
Uzodimma will face the daunting task of selling the APC’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu to the South East electorates following the public uproar over the party’s Muslim-Muslim ticket.
