There are strong indication from Imo State that the All Progressive Congress, APC, Governorship aspirant, Senator Hope Uzodinma, may have dumped the ‘Next Level’ train, allegedly.
According to Governor Rochas Okorocha, the APC Governorship Candidate is working for Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Presidential Candidate, ahead of Saturday’s February 23, general elections.
Okorocha revealed that Uzodinma and his supporters have been canvassing support for Atiku and PDP Candidates, “secretly”.
The Governor’s claim was contained in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Sam Onwuemeodo, in Owerri, the State capital.
He claimed that the APC Governorship Candidate has been having political meetings to achieve this aim. The statement reads partly: “Chief Uzodinma and his motley supporters have openly canvassed support for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the PDP, and the party’s Candidates for the National Assembly elections.
“They have also been working secretly with PDP Chieftains in the State, for that purpose, claiming that he has decided to toe that line to get back at President Buhari and Governor Rochas Okorocha, for their non-support of his Candidature.”
The accusation comes as Senate President Bukola Saraki on Tuesday, alleged that the ruling party was behind the postponement of last Saturday’s general elections.
Saraki claimed that the APC wants a low turnout, so that it can prevent Nigerians from turning out en masse to vote in the rescheduled February 23, general elections.
The Director-General of the Atiku Abubakar Campaign Council, made the claim during the PDP’s emergency National Executive Council, NEC, meeting, in Abuja, said that a low turnout of voters, will enable the APC rig the rescheduled elections.
He however, urged Nigerians to come out en masse and vote, in order to prevent the APC from rigging the polls.
According to Saraki: “We have four more days to go. I want to appeal to Nigerians, do not let them frustrate you. When there is a low turnout, they can rig, but if you come out to vote, they cannot rig.
“INEC, we know that they do not want you to hold that election on Saturday, but we want you to hold that election on Saturday. The Nollywood APC meeting, yesterday, was because they do not want elections on Saturday, but we want elections on Saturday, Nigerians want elections on Saturday, the world wants elections on Saturday.
“As they say, when your time has come, your time has come, President Atiku Abubakar, your time has come!”
