Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, has dissociated himself from a report circulating on social media where his person has directly or indirectly been linked to the success or otherwise of Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State, the candidate of the Accord Party in the August 15, 2026 governorship election. Nwogwugwu had personally described Davido’s plea to the Governor as “emotional blackmail,” and had advised him to channel his appeal to the Osun electorate who are expected to cast their ballot for or against his uncle. However, the Governor assured Davido that his respect for him and the people of Osun State is not negotiable, reiterating that his coming to the State is solely to monitor the election for his Party, seek support of Osun electorate to vote for APC’s candidate. Uzodimma urged Davido, Osun State people and the public to disregard whatever personal opinion Nwogwugwu must have canvassed as neither representative of his nor the position of the Campaign Council which he heads. He said it became necessary to put the records straight to guard against the activities of some mischief makers who are already misinterpreting Nwogwugwu’s personal opinion.
