Shettima, 14 APC Govs storm Imo for Uzodimma’s guber campaign rally

Ahead of the Imo State gubernatorial polls, Vice President Kashim Shettima has arrived to flag off the mother of all rallies to herald the APC governorship election campaign in the state.

As reported by The Nation, the gate of the Dan Anyiam stadium, the rally venue, was thrown open as early as 8 a.m. for thousands of APC supporters from the 27 local government areas carrying different posters.

It was gathered that 14 governors had also arrived for the rally and the ruling party's national chairman, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje.

Some of the governors include Governor Babajide Sanwo-olu (Lagos State), Governor Abiodun Oyebanji (Ekiti State), Governor Francis Nwifuru (Ebonyi State), Governor Fr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia (Benue State) and 11 others.

Governor Hope Uzodimma would be looking to retain his seat at the gubernatorial polls on Saturday, November 11.

The APC gubernatorial candidate has been tipped as the favourite to win the election.

Still, he would have to battle with the resurgent Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party (LP), who took over the southeast like wildfire at the presidential polls.

Meanwhile, the Labour Party will go into the polls with Sen. Athan Achonu and the PDP with Sen. Samuel Anyanwu (Sam Daddy).

In another development, Senator Athan Achonu has been declared the governorship candidate under the Labour Party for the November 11 election in Imo.

The senator was cleared following the Supreme Court's judgement delivered on Thursday, September 28.

Vice President Kashim Shettima is in Imo for Governor Hope Uzodimma’s re-election campaign kick-off.
