The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Imo State, Senator Hope Uzodinma, has revealed that the party’s sledgehammer will soon fall on Governor Rochas Okorocha, as well as the member representing Okigwe South federal constituency, Deacon Chike Okafor and the Deputy Speaker of Imo State House of Assembly, Mr. Ugonna Ozuruigbo, over their alleged anti-party activities.
The lawmaker stated this after he led other candidates in a crucial meeting on Tuesday.
DailyPost reports that others at the meeting were: the incumbent Deputy Governor of Imo State, Prince Eze Madumere, and some members of the APC Coalition Forces, attended the meeting in the new State Secretariat of the party.
Uzodinma, who addressing newsmen after the meeting, expressed surprise over the attitude of some of the candidates.
He said, “This is not just a mere anti-party activity, but an unpardonable action punishable by the extant laws of the party administration.”
He, however, assured party loyalists that those playing such politics would become victims of expulsion.
He further described their actions as “dangerously against the goals of the party.”
Senator Uzodinma commended his compatriots for their commitment and resilience towards retrieving the party from Governor Okorocha, who he alleged “was on the verge of turning the party to a family business”.
He said that the party had long produced a candidate to contest 2019 governorship election, wondering why few persons were yet to come to terms with the reality and work in unison with members to deliver the party at the 2019 general elections.
“Those who are yet to come to terms with the reality that APC now has a gubernatorial candidate in the state, may sadly become victims of change”, Senator Uzodinma said.
