The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said the unmatched track record and popularity of Governor Hope Uzodinma has sent Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to into a panic mood ahead of Saturday’s election.
The National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, in a statement issued Friday said that it was irresponsible of the call for the disqualification of Uzodinma.
The party noted that PDP’s call was based on concocted flimsy allegation that the governor was behind an alleged viral video announcement that Sen. Samuel Anyanwu, PDP Imo State governorship candidate, had withdrawn from the race.
He said: “To be crystal clear, neither Governor Uzodinma nor our great party had any hand in making or procuring the making of that video.
“Our Governor and party have been hard at work campaigning to persuade the good Imo electorate to renew our mandate to have any interest or time for such piece of frivolous and unhelpful propaganda.”
Morka noted at the end of any credible investigation into the video’s origins, the ruling party would not be shocked to discover that it was a malicious creation of the PDP in a calculated but futile attempt to smear Uzodinma and APC.
The spokesperson added, “Clearly, the unmatched track record and popularity of our candidate makes the PDP quiver in desperate panic.
“We are confident that no last minute antics of the PDP will deter the good people of Imo State who are poised to reelect our Governor to finish the good work he has started.”
