Speaking during the visit, the Imo state governor said: “You recall that the election of November 11, our great party, APC, is growing in popularity and came out successfully in Kogi and Imo states.

“Our victory at the polls shows that Nigerians are still very happy with the APC. Nigerians voted en-mass for the President and this victory validates this claim through the voters in Kogi state and Imo state.

“So we have come to honour the president and also use the opportunity to thank him for his support, advice, and wisdom.

“He imparted on us and achievements he has recorded since he became the president which most of us leverage on to be able to convince the voters to vote for us.”
