Senator Hope Uzodinma |
The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Imo
State, Senator Hope Uzodinma, has revealed that the party’s
sledgehammer will soon fall on Governor Rochas Okorocha, as well as the
member representing Okigwe South federal constituency, Deacon Chike
Okafor and the Deputy Speaker of Imo State House of Assembly, Mr. Ugonna
Ozuruigbo, over their alleged anti-party activities.
The lawmaker stated this after he led other candidates in a crucial meeting on Tuesday.
Others at the meeting were: the incumbent Deputy Governor of Imo
State, Prince Eze Madumere, and some members of the APC Coalition
Forces, attended the meeting in the new State Secretariat of the party.
Uzodinma, while addressing newsmen after the meeting, expressed surprise over the attitude of some of the candidates.
He said, “This is not just a mere anti-party activity, but an
unpardonable action punishable by the extant laws of the party
administration.”
He, however, assured party loyalists that those playing such politics would become victims of expulsion.
He further described their actions as “dangerously against the goals of the party.”
Senator Uzodinma commended his compatriots for their commitment and
resilience towards retrieving the party from Governor Okorocha, who he
alleged “was on the verge of turning the party to a family business”.
He said that the party had long produced a candidate to contest 2019
governorship election, wondering why few persons were yet to come to
terms with the reality and work in unison with members to deliver
victory for the party at the 2019 general elections.
“Those who are yet to come to terms with the reality that APC now has
a gubernatorial candidate in the state, may sadly become victims of
change”, Senator Uzodinma said.
He called on all and sundry to join hands for the re-election of
President Muhammadu Buhari, revealing that “most leaders of the South
East have keyed into this project for his sincerity of purpose in the
Nigerian project and wholistic re-integration of South East and Ndigbo”.
