The Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma has said President Muhammadu Buhari’s visit to the state has nothing to do with the 2023 elections.

Uzodinma said Buhari was simply on a working visit.

The governor, who stated this while appearing on Channels Television, said Buhari commissioned projects while in the state.

“Our people came out to receive the president who visited Imo State in solidarity with the governor of Imo State. It has nothing to do with the 2023 election or politics.

“We only received the president who came on a working visit, commissioned projects and had an interaction with us,” Uzodinma said.

Recall that Buhari was on a one-day working visit to Imo State on Thursday.

While in the state, the president had promised to help Uzodinma fight insecurity.

Buhari also met with Igbo leaders and stakeholders during a Town Hall meeting.
