The All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman Abdullahi Umar Ganduje’s and State Governor Hope Uzodinma’s fake, malicious, and baseless posters, which purportedly stated that the governor was vying for Vice President in 2027, have been dismissed by the Imo State Government.
The State Commissioner for Information, Public Orientation and Strategy, Declan Emelumba, sent a press release claiming that the posters’ social media dissemination is the result of malicious individuals attempting to incite affection between the governor and Mr. President.
He said that the governor had never considered a candidacy for such a position.
According to Emelumba, “Everyone in Nigeria is quite aware that Uzodimma is one of the fiercest supporters of President Ahmed Bola Tinubu and has canvassed national support for him to succeed in his assignment.
“It is both laughable and preposterous. Apart from the governor being engrossed in discharging his second term mandate, he has also been supporting Mr President, so where does this malicious misinformation spring from?”
He charged that those who oppose the current federal administration are spreading false information in an attempt to create a rift between Tinubu and his core supporters.
The Commissioner noted that the opposition had come up with a new strategy to split the ruling party after the recent violent protest that was intended to overthrow the government failed.
He advised those who were selling what he called a “tissue of lies” to “desist from their serpentine activities capable of undermining the peaceful coexistence between the federal and the state governments.”
“For the avoidance of doubt, His Excellency, Senator Hope Uzodinma has no Vice presidential ambition, either now or in 2027. Any information to the contrary is fake, malicious and spurious and should therefore be ignored,” he stated.
