“I also want to congratulate all Ndi Imo for shunning every form of violence and coming out to vote massively for Governor Uzodimma. We have set a precedent as a peaceful state by resisting all forms of intimidation and violence to freely perform our civic duty while delivering all 27 Local Governments for him and the All Progressives Congress APC.”
