Governor of Hope Uzodinma has declared that President Bola Tinubu would easily secure a second term in 2027 if only members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) participate in the election.
Uzodinma made the statement on Saturday while reacting to the massive turnout recorded during the ongoing APC presidential primary in Orlu East Local Government Area of Imo State.
According to him, Tinubu’s performance in office has earned him another term.
“It’s very obvious that Tinubu has done enough to deserve going back for a second term. Look at how the grassroots have been stimulated, starting from the membership registration, which was done electronically, to the validation of members,” the governor said.

Uzodinma further claimed that the APC’s membership strength alone could guarantee victory for Tinubu at the polls.
“You can see 35,000 human beings in just one ward in Orlu East Local Government. If only our party members (APC) vote for President Tinubu, he has already won the election because the membership registration, as conducted by the APC, took care of grassroots inclusiveness, and today it is manifest in our democratic situation in Nigeria,” he stated.
The governor also praised Nigerians for sustaining democracy and commended Tinubu’s political style.

“Today, I want to congratulate Nigerians for sustaining democracy, and I also want to congratulate Tinubu for doing politics the way it should be done,” he added.
Uzodinma, however, urged opposition parties not to lose hope but to work harder ahead of future elections.
“It’s no longer democracy if there is no opposition. I encourage the opposition parties to work hard and do what the ruling party has done. When it becomes their turn, they will elect their own president. But today, I can see that Nigerians are excited,” he said.
