APC Expels Imo Governorship Candidate, Hope Uzodinma

The APC governorship candidate in the 2019 governorship election in Imo state, Hope Uzodinma, has been expelled by the party.

Disclosing this to newsmen this morning, the state Chairman of the
party, Daniel Nwafor, said Uzodinma was expelled over his alleged
anti-party activities. According to Nwafor, the expulsion became
necessary to save the party from disintegration. Speaking to newsmen,
Nwafor said

“Senator Hope has been sponsoring the All Progressives Grand Alliance
(APGA) Senatorial candidate, Senator Osita Izunaso as against 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 Exco”.

A statement released by the party reads

”This is to inform you that the All Progressives Congress (APC)
Omuma Ward of Oru East Local Government Area in Imo State has expelled
Senator Hope Uzodinma from the party due to certain inordinate and
anti-party activities perpetrated by him and his cohorts.

“The Imo State Working Committee (SWC) of our great party has
examined the processes and procedures of the sanction on Senator Hope
Uzodinma by his Ward as affirmed by the Local Government organ of the
party in Oru East. Conclusively, the State Working Committee satisfied
with the procedures and decision of Omuma Ward, hereby affirm the
expulsion order as well”.

We are saving the party, we have an election in three weeks time and
we cannot allow our governorship candidate to be sponsoring opposition
candidates. We will no longer recognize Senator Hope Uzodinma as our
governorship candidate because he is no longer a member of our party”.

We will not allow one candidate to jeopardize the chances of our
other candidates who are vying for various positions across the state.
We have communicated the National Working Committee of our party on our
decision and we have also instructed all APC members in the state not to
have anything to do with Senator Hope Uzodinma and his ambition
forthwith”.
