spread of APC victory in 23 local government areas of the state was a clear indication
of the confidence the people had in his government.
He thanked Imo people for their
support and commitment to his administration’s policies and programmes.
Okorocha also encouraged the
people to come out en mass to vote for the party any time INEC announced for
the conduct of the election.
