Don’t Make Imo Governorship Poll Do-Or-Die, Political Actors Advised

• APC supporters in the South East warn against incendiary statements and interference in Imo State’s governorship election
• They emphasize the importance of a free and fair election, vowing to resist any attempts at imposition or political instability

Supporters of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) have warned top politicians in the South East against making incendiary statements and engaging in do-or-die politics ahead of the governorship election in Imo State on November 11.

Speaking to journalists on Wednesday in Abuja, APC supporters led by their National Coordinator, Amb Audu Usman Shuaibu, of the Progressives League of Youth Voters Ambassadors, said top politicians in the South East perfecting plans to destabilize the APC in Imo State would fail.

Shuaibu said;

We are law-abiding citizens of this country with a firm belief in the current democracy. If the election is free and fair, Governor Hope Uzodinma will cruise to victory as his works are speaking for him.

We maintain that the good people of Imo State should be allowed to choose their governor in the coming elections. Our people must not be intimidated or coerced into accepting a governorship candidate imposed on them by enemies of the Imo people.

We will resist any form of imposition or plot to cause political instability in Imo State. We would resist with equal vigour, any attempt to influence the gubernatorial elections to favour the Labour Party (LP).

We assure the people of Imo State that we are on alert monitoring activities of their enemies and the people aligning with them. We shall address Nigerians at the appropriate time and expose those colluding with killers of the South East people to effect a change of leadership in Imo State.
