Governor of Hope Uzodimma has formally accepted calls to contest the Imo West Senatorial election ahead of the 2027 general elections, declared his readiness to serve the people of Orlu Zone under the platform of the All Progressives Congress.
Uzodimma made the declaration during the National Assembly Primary Election screening exercise held in Abuja, where he appeared before the leadership and National Working Committee of the APC.
Speaking at the event, APC National Chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda, praised the Imo governor for his leadership record and contributions to the ruling party.
“We have no reason to keep you waiting. We have no reason to examine you. We have no reason to ask you questions because you are the answers to the questions,” Yilwatda stated before members of the party’s National Working Committee.
The remark drew applause from party leaders and stakeholders present at the screening, reflecting growing confidence in Uzodimma’s leadership credentials and political influence within the APC.
Addressing the committee, Uzodimma stressed that the senatorial seat primarily belong to the APC, while he remained a loyal party member committed to advancing its ideals and aspirations.
