A stalwart of the All Progressives Congress, APC, from Adamawa State, Mallam Uba Dan’arewa has congratulated the Governor of Imo State, Mr Hope Ozedinma for winning Saturday’s Governorship election.
He Said is sure of Hope’s victory therefore congratulating him in advance because anyone that Organized Labor rejected in Nigeria won the election.
Dan’arewa recalled how former Governor of Taraba state, Late Danbaba Sontai was rejected by the state-organized Labor and won his election without their single support.
Dan’arewa recalled how Sontai bluntly told the Taraba state chapter of the Nigerian Labor Congress (NLC) “I summoned you here to let you know that I don’t need your votes, I will not forgive you guys if you vote for me” and he won the election neat and clear.
The APC founding praised the leadership qualities of Hope Ozedas as being of national interest, a Man who has provided many dividends of democracy.
“This Man has the tract record that he can’t fail again, his tract records of development will certainly make him win the election,” Dan’arewa said
He accused NLC of joining politics with the union’s principles, according to him the union has never brought something better than strikes.
Worried that kidnapping activities are on a rampage in all parts of the country, there has been all sort of killings and NLC has never called for a a strike.
According to him the union leader is partisan and is not good for the NLC to keep as a leader.
“I’m surprised by the NLC’s decision to ground the country’s economy because of one Man. All the university Staff and Students were kidnapped in many Nigerian institutions of higher learning the NLC didn’t call for a strike. Despite all the insecurity challenges orchestrated by many the NLC has not gone on strike. The economy is not doing well they have not called for a strike, yet because of one selfish Man they are trying to ground the State.
“Well, it’s on History that anyone that NLC not supported win his or her election. So what happened in Taraba during the Danbaba Sontai time will repeat itself in Imo state. So I’m congratulating Hope in Advance” Dan’arewa Said
He called on the people of Imo state to massively come out in their numbers to vote for Hope because the continuity of his Government is Peace, progress, unity, and development of Imo.
“I’m talking as a Northerner and an activist of good governance. Hope is a bridge builder connecting the North and South of Nigeria. Hope is happiness, bridging the gap between the Igbos and other tribes in Nigeria.
“I condemned the NLC’s decision to go on strike. It shows the NLC in Imo is not patriotic because of their partisan Leader calling for a strike and there have been killings.” He Said
