Meanwhile, Governor Hope Uzodimma, who is the leader of the APC in Imo State, commended former aspirants in the recently concluded primaries for demonstrating loyalty, maturity and commitment to the party by supporting candidates who emerged as flag bearers.
The governor made the remarks during a post-primary stakeholders’ meeting held at the Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu International Conference Centre (EIICC), Owerri, where party leaders, stakeholders, candidates, former aspirants and members gathered to review the outcome of the primaries and strategize for future elections.

He expressed satisfaction with the level of support and cooperation exhibited by party stakeholders and urged members to close ranks and work together in the overall interest of the party.
The governor also expressed confidence in the electoral prospects of the APC at the national level, stating that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu would secure a resounding victory in the 2027 general elections based on the administration’s ongoing reforms and achievements.
