Hope Uzodimma, governor of Imo, says the All Progressives
Congress (APC) delegates will look favourably in the direction of Kayode Fayemi,
Ekiti governor and presidential hopeful.
Femi Ige, spokesman of the Fayemi campaign organisation,
quoted the Imo governor as saying this when the Ekiti governor visited him in
Owerri on Friday.
Uzodimma described the chairman of the Nigeria Governors
Forum (NGF) as a “terrific team player”.
“His management of affairs of the NGF is a classic testimony
to his renowned man management acumen. He’s a terrific team player, consensus
builder, and brilliant leader. The conviction behind his words provokes you to
want to listen more to the wisdom in his thoughts,” the Imo governor said.
“To us in Imo, the
giant strides which you are seeing in the state either in World Bank, AfDB or
other international agency interventions are handiwork of President Muhammadu
Buhari and Governor Fayemi.
“So, my chairman, Imo is your home, we know there are many
aspirants but when the time comes, we shall do what is expected of us and I can
assure you that we will look favorably in your direction.”
On his part, Fayemi said for Nigeria to make progress,
citizens must be given a sense of belonging.
“To get out of the
woods, our nation must heal wounds, ensure inclusiveness and foist an
administration that gives everybody a sense of belonging that will encourage
our brothers and sisters in the south-east unleash the inner kinetic energy
inherent in them for the greatness of the greater Nigeria Nation instead of
engendering in them the urge to quit the union,” he said.
