Alloy Uzondu condemned in strong term and described the endorsement exercise as a personal proposal from selected individual working for Imo state government.<\/p>\n<p>Chief .Uzondu, also a community leader from Osueze ward in Ideato-North Council Area angrily stormed out of a meeting organized by the Imo state Commissioner for Works, Chief (Mrs) Josephine Udorji at the Ideato-North Local Government Area where a meeting was convened to lobby them to support the governor\u2019s \u00a0son in-law \u00a0as anointed successor.<\/p>\n<p>He said the APC would only support a candidate who emerges through a credible party primary irrespective of the zone he comes from.<\/p>\n<p>He described Nwosu as a good candidate for the position, but maintained that the party\u2019s interest should be paramount in the decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t want to make mistakes, Ideato Nation do not support endorsement of an individual;\u00a0We believe the interest of the party should be paramount, no matter what, be it Madumere, Nwosu, Ololo or Ejiogu, what we are saying is they should emerge through the party\u2019s primary,\u201d Uzondu said.<\/p>\n<p>In a related development, another party stakeholder who pleaded anonymity while reacting to the endorsement by Ideato-North leaders debunked the claim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; The
