“Imo Government Rebukes Claims of Uzodinma-Ganduje 2027 VP Ticket as False and Malicious”
The Imo State Government has vehemently denied the authenticity of posters circulating on social media that suggest Governor Hope Uzodinma is set to run for Vice President alongside APC National Chairman Abdullahi Umar Ganduje in the 2027 elections.
Declan Emelumba, the State Commissioner for Information, Public Orientation, and Strategy, labeled the posters as a baseless ploy by mischief-makers aiming to create discord between Governor Uzodinma and President Bola Tinubu. Emelumba emphasized that the governor has never considered such a political move and remains focused on fulfilling his second-term responsibilities while supporting President Tinubu’s administration.
The Commissioner condemned the spread of misinformation as a tactic by political opponents to destabilize the ruling party and undermine the relationship between federal and state governments. He urged the public to disregard the false claims and continue supporting the administration’s efforts for a stable governance.
For clarity, Emelumba affirmed that Governor Uzodinma has no intention of pursuing a vice-presidential position, either now or in the 2027 elections, and dismissed any contrary information as false and intended to sow discord.
