Hope Uzodimma, governor of Imo state, says his bid to represent Imo West in the Senate is aimed at strengthening the achievements of Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope administration.
In a post on X on Sunday, Uzodimma said people of the Imo West senatorial district had called on him to serve in the national assembly.
According to the governor, he accepted the call with humility and a commitment to advancing the interests of the district.
“My dear people of Imo West Senatorial District have once again called upon me to serve, and I have accepted this noble call with utmost humility, sincerity of purpose, and unwavering commitment to the collective advancement of our people,” he wrote.
Uzodimma noted that he had appeared before the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the screening committee for the national assembly primary election.
The governor described the senatorial ambition as a responsibility to project the vision and ideals of the ruling party.
“The senatorial seat I seek to occupy belongs first and foremost to our great party, while I remain only a loyal and dedicated candidate entrusted with the responsibility of projecting and advancing the ideals, vision, and aspirations of the APC,” he said.
Uzodimma praised the APC for what he described as purposeful leadership and people-oriented governance across the country.
He said it remained the responsibility of party members to sustain the administration’s policies and programmes.
“My aspiration to represent the good people of Imo West Senatorial District at the Red Chamber is inspired by the desire to consolidate on the gains of the Renewed Hope administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” he added.
He also promised quality representation, effective legislation and sustainable development for the district and the country.
