Wike Challenges Uzodinma Over Tinubu's Poor Votes in Imo
Nyesom Wike, the Federal Capital Territory Minister, challenged Hope Uzodinma, the Governor of Imo State, regarding President Bola Tinubu's electoral performance in Imo during the 2023 general elections. Wike pointed out that Tinubu failed to secure even 10% of the votes in Imo, where Uzodinma serves as governor.
He noted that the All Progressives Congress (APC) only won two Senate seats in the state, while the opposition secured one. Wike questioned the implications of Uzodinma's position, suggesting it indicated confusion among Imo voters.
He argued that if Tinubu could not achieve significant support in Uzodinma's state, then Uzodinma's criticisms of others lacked credibility. This exchange reflects growing intra-party tensions among APC-aligned figures as they prepare for the 2027 general elections.
The results from Imo State, where Tinubu's vote share was notably low, are significant given Uzodinma's role as a key ally in the South-East.
