Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma has said all 31 governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) are expected to deliver their respective states for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.

@Greatiwuoenang added: “Nigerians, not governors, will ultimately decide who gets the votes in 2027. 🇳🇬”
@MimiInnocent3 questioned the idea of electoral “delivery”, writing: “Like delivery as how now? Governors have one one vote each.”
