Breaking: APC Sacks Imo State Governor, Uzodimma from Party

Gov. Hope Uzodimma

APC has expelled Hope Uzodinma over alleged anti-party activities.

A faction of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Imo State has expelled the party’s governorship candidate, Senator Hope Uzodinma. The factional chairman, Daniel Nwafor, told reporters on Thursday at the party’s secretariat in Owerri, the state capital, that Senator Uzodinma was expelled on the basis of alleged inordinate and anti-party activities.

He accused Uzodinma of running a parallel executive, as well as working with a senatorial candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), instead of Rochas Okorocha, Governor of Imo State, who is also contesting for a senatorial seat on the APC platform…

Speaking on the expulsion, Nwafor said: “Senator Hope Uzodinma has been sponsoring the All Progressives Grand Alliance Senatorial candidate, Senator Osita Izunaso, instead of the APC Senatorial candidate in Imo West, Governor Rochas Okorocha.

He has also been running parallel exco in his Omuma ward and issuing party cards without recourse to party excos.”
