Second Term: Uzodimma Wins Imo APC Guber Ticket

Governor Hope Uzodimma has emerged as the Imo State All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate for a second term in office.

The Chairman of the Imo State Governorship Primary Election Committee Rear Admiral William Kayode (rtd) declared Uzodimma as the party’s flagbearer for the November 11 exercise.

His declaration followed the party’s primary election held at the Ndubuisi Kanu Square in Owerri, the Imo State capital on Friday.

Uzodimma polled 63,618 to votes to secure a second term ticket after the party adopted the direct primaries mode of election.

In his acceptance speech, the Governor promised to redouble his efforts in tackling insecurity and delivering good governance to the people of Imo State if re-elected.

He vowed not to disappoint the people of the state if elected for a second term and expressed optimism about winning the November exercise.

GWG.ng reports that the Governor on Thursday formally informed APC leaders that he had accepted to run for a second term.

Addressing APC members comprising State Working Committee, local government and ward representatives at the party’s headquarters on Okigwe road, Owerri, the governor hailed the members for their unity of purpose and commitment and enjoined them to cooperate and make the party strong.

He told them that their past mistakes had been forgiven, even as he reminded them that “loyalty is key to the party and that is politics.”
