Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has congratulated Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo state on his re-election victory at the November 11 governorship election.

Sanwo-Olu said the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate’s re-election was well deserved.

The governor's congratulatory message was contained in a statement issued by Gboyega Akosile, his chief press secretary, on Sunday, November 12.

The statement partially reads:

"Governor Hope Uzodinma's re-election affirms his administration's good performance in the last four years. I believe strongly that he was re-elected because he delivered beyond the expectations of the Imo people during his first term.

"The APC candidate's victory across the 27 local government areas in Imo State with over 400,000 vote margin against his main opponent, is a confirmation of the trust and belief of the people in the APC-led administration in Imo State, having benefitted immensely from the various people-oriented programmes of his administration."
