Imo APC expels Hope Uzodinma

The Imo State 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”.
