Imo State Governor and Chairman of the South-East Governors’ Forum, Hope Uzodinma, has said that governors of the region have agreed to support President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general election. According to him, the visit was primarily to extend New Year greetings to Governor Otti and acknowledge his efforts in governance. Responding to questions about the political implications of his visit, Uzodinma noted that interactions between elected officials naturally attract political interpretations. “President Tinubu has implemented policies that are yielding results, and that is why leaders in the South-East have resolved to support him,” Uzodinma said. Otti thanked Uzodinma for the visit and prayed for continued peace and development in Imo State and the South-East.
