President Muhammadu Buhari on
Tuesday, urged members of the All Progressive Congress (APC), to vote for any
candidate of their choice, irrespective of intra or inter party affairs.
Buhari spoke amid the lingering
crisis rocking the Imo State chapter of the ruling party, over the emergence of
its governorship candidate.
It will be recalled that Governor
Rochas Okorocha is supporting his former Chief of Staff, Uche Nwosu, while the
National Chairman of the party Adams Oshiomhole backs Senator Hope Uzodinma,
who emerged the APC candidate under controversial circumstances.
Nwosu, however, picked the
governorship ticket of the Action Alliance (AA), with the state chapter of the
APC being polarised on who to vote.
President Buhari in his speech at
the Dan Anyiam Stadium during his campaign rally, countered the APC National
Chairman who has mandated APC members to vote for Uzodinma.
“You can vote for whosoever you
want, do not allow intra or inter party affairs stop you from voting for the
candidate of your choice,” he said.
But Oshiomhole had boasted that
the APC does not need the support of the AA to deliver President Buhari in the
state.
He said: “Let me make it clear
that the APC is not in alliance with any party, we have the power to deliver
the President.
“You should vote for Uzodinma as
our governorship candidate, don’t be deceived by anybody”.
