President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday urged the people of Imo State to vote for candidates of their choice.
Buhari spoke at the All Progressives Congress’ presidential campaign rally held at the Dan Anyiam Stadium in Owerri, the state capital.
He countered the party’s National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, who had earlier asked the APC members to vote for the party’s governorship candidate, Hope Uzodinma.
“You can vote for whosoever you want. Do not allow intra or inter-party affairs stop you from voting for the candidates of your choice,” Buhari said.
Oshiomhole had earlier boasted that the APC did not need the support of the Action Alliance to deliver votes for Buhari in the state.
“Let me make it clear that the APC is not in alliance with any party. We have the power to deliver the President.
“You should vote for Uzodinma as our governorship candidate. Don’t be deceived by anybody. The APC will win in Imo State,” he said.
r rally held in Aba, Abia State, earlier in the day, Buhari said he had tried his best to fulfill his promise to revamp the nation’s economy with the resources available to his government despite the sharp drop in oil price.
He urged his critics to judge his government based on the current economic realities.
