Members of the Igbo Town Union General Assembly operating in the 19 Northern states and the FCT have expressed their support for Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State ahead of the 2023 election.
The group also expressed readiness to work for the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to win the 2023 presidential election.
But they are also seeking the governor to lead them to a crucial meeting with Tinubu to discuss burning issues that concern the Igbo living in the North.
The group made the declarations when they visited Governor Uzodinma at the Imo Government House in Owerri.
“We want to tell the world that it is not true that Igbos don’t have or respect leaders. That is why we want everybody to know that because of your antecedents and your love for Ndigbo, we have decided that you are our leader and we shall follow you all the way,” the President General of the group, Dr Collins Ajali said.
Addressing the members, Governor Uzodinma commended them for their love for APC and assured them that they made the right decision.
The governor thanked the members for the confidence reposed in him and promised not to disappoint them
