The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Imo State has insisted that Governor Hope Uzodimma remains its candidate for Imo West Senatorial District ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The party stated this in a statement issued on Thursday by
its State Publicity Secretary, Onwuasoanya FCC Jones, after an Abuja Federal
High Court sacked Uzodimma as the candidate, replacing him with ex-governor
Rochas Okorocha.
The APC described the reports of Uzodimma's sack as
unverified, accusing opposition figures of circulating claims suggesting that
Uzodimma had been replaced as the party’s candidate.
It maintained that the governor emerged victorious in the
party’s senatorial primary election with the overwhelming support of its
members.
The statement read: “The All Progressives Congress is aware
of some unverified reports making the rounds across many social media platforms
and being circulated by renowned opposition figures about a purported change in
the candidacy of our Party for Imo West Senatorial District.
“The party wishes to state without any confusion that His
Excellency Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma, CON, remains the candidate of
our Party for Imo West Senatorial District, having won the primaries of our
great party with the overwhelming support of the majority of our party members.
“The party's legal department shall study the outcome of a
legal intervention in this matter and act accordingly.
“We urge our teeming party members and supporters of our
great party to remain focused and undistracted and remain committed to working
assiduously for the victory of our party across all constituencies in the
state.“
