Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State has said the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is well prepared for its national convention scheduled for March 26, adding that God has already approved the exercise.
He said this while fielding questions from State House reporters after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari on the security situation in Imo at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
The governor said there was no going back on the plan to conduct the convention as all the committees had been working to achieve a successful outing.
When told that the APC convention seemed not to be feasible again on Saturday as a lot of machinery that ought to have been on the ground were not there yet, he replied: “On the APC convention, I don’t know what kind of signs you want to see before you know that convention will hold on Saturday. As at yesterday (Sunday), all the subcommittees have started meeting.”
He added, “The screening committee, the accreditation committee, and I’m aware that they are only waiting, the venue is being prepared.
“You know, I told you people that APC is the party to beat. So, it is the wish of our opponent is to see that APC is scattered, or is not united. But that is their wishful thinking. APC cannot afford to lose what they have. Because what we have is the trust of over 200 million people.
“So, I think I want to assure you that we will have a very peaceful, very successful convention on Saturday. If anybody is thinking otherwise, well that person should go and pray because God has already approved our convention.”
