Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma
The Progressives Governors Forum (PGF) has debunked the claims that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is steering Nigeria toward a one-party state.
Chairman of the Forum, Gov. Hope Uzodimma of Imo State, made the remarks while briefing newsmen after a meeting with the progressive governors in Abuja.
Uzodinma said that the APC’s increasing influence is driven by public satisfaction with its performance.
According to him, “Our party, like you know, is the most beautiful bride today in the country.
“You can see, I have almost lost count of the number of governors we now have in our great party. It shows that the president is doing well. It shows that APC is doing well.
“It shows that our passion to create prosperity in Nigeria is being bought into by well-meaning Nigerians and, particularly, the political class.
“We are a happy party. We are struggling to ensure that our people are served,” he said.
Uzodimma appealed to the political class and Nigerians to allow peace a chance, saying it is through collaborative efforts that Nigeria will become a greater nation.
Uzodimma further said that Nigerians were demonstrating confidence in the APC and in the leadership of President Bola Tinubu.
He described Tinubu’s administration as having positive impacts with the reform policies in place.
He highlighted initiatives such as the student loan scheme, which he said ensured that no Nigerian was denied education due to lack of funds.
He also highlighted the expanded health insurance scheme aimed at reducing barriers to accessing healthcare.
The governor further pointed to improvements in the economy, increased government revenue, and rising production in the oil and gas sector as indicators that the country was on the path to recovery.
He urged Nigerians to remain hopeful and appreciative of the progress being made under the current administration. (NAN)
