The Imo State APC chapter of the ruling All
Progressives Congress on Thursday announced the immediate expulsion of its
governorship candidate, Senator Hope Uzodinma.
The state chairman of the
party, Daniel Nwafor, announced the expulsion during a press conference at the
party’s secretariat in Owerri, the state capital.
Nwafor said that the expulsion became necessary in
order to save the party from disintegration and electoral misfortunes.
The party chairman accused the
APC governorship candidate of sponsoring opposition candidates against the
party’s candidates in the state.
He 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.”
A statement jointly signed by Nwafor, and the
Secretary, Obioma Ireagwu, read, “this is to inform you that the All
Progressives Congress, 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 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”.
