The political battles for who really occupies various positions in Imo APC as the party executive members continued to linger as those party loyalists who believe on the supremacy of Governor Rochas Okorocha and those for Sen.Hope Uzodinma have taken another level.

The fact remains that the State Working Committee, SWC, and the Exco’s of the party (Okorocha tribe) who are in control of the Imo APC structure have allegedly dissolved since Sen.Hope who is the 2019 Guber candidate of the party accused the executive of the party led the Hon. Dan Nwafor was accused of anti-party by rolling their support to Okorocha’s son-in-law, Hon. Ugwumba Uche Nwosu, who defected to Action Alliance, AA, for his Guber ambition.

In a press briefing held in Owerri last Wednesday on behalf of Sen.Uzodinma, the Camp Hope Campaign Director General, Chief Cosmos Iwu, disclosed that his Principal, Sen. Hope is set,ready and passionate to deliver Imo State from the hands of Okorocha’s tyranny and his anti-people policy in 2019 even as he called on the people of the State to support Hope as the future hope of Ndi-Imo.

The DG for Sen.Hope disclosed that the National leadership of their party under the National Party Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshimhole has pronounced the leadership of Imo APC under Dan Nwafor as a dissolved executive due to alleged anti-party.

“You can not be in APC as Executives and you are supporting another Guber candidate from another political party like AA. It is therefore called anti-party”, he stated.

In the vain, the Imo APC State Party Chairman, Hon. Daniel Nwafor, who spoke to journalists during a press briefing last Thursday in Owerri, called on the public to disregard any information stating that his led executives were dissolved.

Hon. Nwafor, therefore, described his dissolution stories as purported falsehood, untrue and rumor from the pit of hell.

“So long as Imo APC executive is concerned that he remains the authentic Party State Chairman. Sen.Uzodinma and his cohorts should stop spreading lies and false statements that may truncate the peace and unity of Imo APC”, Nwafor insisted.

Meanwhile, the Senior Special Adviser to the Governor Rochas Okorocha on Youth Affairs, Hon.Comr.Kenneth Emelu, who is also the State Organising Secretary of Imo APC, shortly after a meeting with some cross section of Coalition of Imo Youths under the auspices of Ugwumba Support Organization in Owerri, said he is still in APC but has vowed to make Uche Nwosu the next Imo Governor.

“Since Sen.Hope Uzodinma as the Guber candidate of Imo APC did not want to work with the Executive Members, that is, the party structure, we are not going to work with him. But Uche Nwosu who is now in AA is showing us respect, we are going to work to make sure he becomes the next Imo Governor in 2019”-Org.Sec.of Imo APC, Comr.Kenneth Emelu, submitted.

“If you like, call it Anti-Party, I do not care, I belong to Ugwumba Uche Nwosu, and he must be delivered as Governor Rochas Okorocha’s successor in 2019”, he insisted.
