Senator Hope Uzodinma, Governor of Imo State, has assured All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate Governor Kayode Fayemi of the state’s delegates’ overwhelming support during the party’s presidential primary.
Governor Uzodinma also described the governor of Ekiti State as one of Nigeria’s brightest minds, a master of men, and the best candidate for the presidency of the world’s largest black country.
He also expressed confidence that state delegates will vote for him in the ruling party’s upcoming primary election.
The spokesman for the Governor Fayemi Campaign Organisation, Femi Ige, said in a statement released on Saturday in Abuja that Uzodinma received Fayemi Friday evening at the Council Chamber in Imo state before leading him to meet the party’s national delegates.
Senator Uzodinma also told Fayemi, who is also the Chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF), not to campaign in the state because “he’s someone who is well known to us as our chairman and leader,” according to the statement.

His leadership of the NGF is a classic example of his renowned man management skills. He’s a great team player, a great consensus builder, and a fantastic leader. The conviction in his words makes you want to learn more about the wisdom he has to offer.
“To us in Imo, the giant strides you see in the state, whether through World Bank, AfDB, or other international agency interventions, are the work of President Muhammadu Buhari and Governor Fayemi,” he said.
“So, my chairman, Imo is your home; we know there are many aspirants,” he assured.
Fayemi responded by promising to use all of his God-given wisdom to get the country out of trouble.
“As a mass boy, I learned the virtues of fairness, equity, and kindness in the Catholic church.” I’ve also learned the art of working in a group and reaching a consensus as I’ve grown older.
“To get out of the woods, our country must heal wounds, ensure inclusiveness, and impose an administration that gives everyone a sense of belonging,” the presidential aspirant said.
