Hope Uzodimma, the governor of Imo State, has said that nothing can prevent him from winning the state’s impending governorship election on November 11.
Uzodimma stated during a Thursday interview on Channels Television that the outcome of the upcoming governorship race will not be influenced by the conclusion of the upcoming presidential election.
The governor claimed that the All Progressives Congress (APC) gained a majority of seats in both the national and state assemblies and that the party also accepted a number of federal parliamentarians.

He said: “First of all, my party did not lose an election in Imo state. If I understand what the situation is — we had an election on February 25 in Imo state.
“We (APC) produced two senators out of three and four members of the House of Representatives out of seven concluded seats.
“The next week, which was March, we produced 25 members of the House of Assembly out of 27 seats. Is that how to lose an election?
“APC is a party to beat in Imo. APC had done so well that there is already an exodus from other political parties to our great party.
“Presidential election in Nigeria is not calculated or used to assess governorship election.

“In a presidential election, the result is declared according to votes in all states of Nigeria. In the number of votes cast in Nigeria, APC won.
“In the governorship election, the result will be based on votes cast in Imo state and until that is done, nobody is going to beat his chest to tell you what is going to be the result.”
