The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and the Governor of Imo State, Sen. Hope Uzodimma, have urged the leadership of the APC in Abia State to close ranks so as to win all the elections in the state next month and in March.
Both spoke in their different remarks during the presidential and governorship campaign flag-off rally that held Tuesday in Umuahia Township Stadium, the Abia State capital.
Amid large turn out of party faithful, Tinubu and Uzodimma reasoned that the only thing that could hinder the APC from winning all the elections next month and in March is if the leaders work at cross purposes.
While Tinubu specifically invited former Minister of Mines, Dr. Uche Ogah, who is in court challenging the governorship candidacy of Chief Ikechi Emenike to a meeting with him, Governor Uzodimma thanked the leadership of the APC in Abia in advance for their willingness to work as a team in the interest of the party and the state.

Tinubu akso told the the youths, ‘’your frustrations are over, and there will be no more strikes in the universities,” even as he
assured that his administration would “give priority to education.”
“The confidence and hope for tomorrow is here with me becoming the President of Nigeria come February 25, 2023.”
To all the aggrieved members of the party, especially those that contested different positions and lost, he told them to come back for them to talk it over.
He also appealed to the people of Abia State to vote for the APC governorship candidate, Chief Emenike, noting that “Emenike being your Governor will link your state to the National Political Grid, in addition to ensuring that Abia State becomes a tourism haven by collaborating with the Federal Government.”
Besides, Governor Uzodimma had used the occasion to thank Abia people and their leaders for “their unity of purpose and for working towards reconciliation of aggrieved members of the party in the state.”
