Hope Uzodimma, governor of Imo state, has asked All Progressives Congress (APC) members to ignore opposition parties that are “only strong on social media”.
Uzodimma who spoke on Friday, July 08, 2022 during a meeting with party members and stakeholders in Imo was quick to spot that Peter Obi had no presence at the grassroots beyond the social media hysteria by some youths, there was nothing anywhere that could be described as political structure of Peter Obi or Labour Party.
LP, which has Peter Obi as its presidential candidate, has been criticised for being more prominent on social media and not having adequate grassroots support ahead of the 2023 elections as Obi’s supporters are on social media chanting “OBIDIENT!”
“This opposition that is only strong on social media with no political structure on the ground, you are listening to them,” Uzodimma said.
“Our people should not be deceived. Don’t let anybody deceive you.
“If you follow a party that is reminding you of the agony of the past but is not interested in telling you how you will better your tomorrow, you don’t have to blame anybody.
“But as a people, as a party, I am here as the governor of the state through a political party called APC. That is our political party.”
Uzodimma advised the APC members to take a cue from the party’s recent victory in Ekiti state, adding that the victory will be replicated in the forthcoming Osun election.
