In House of Reps, only two candidates of the party managed to scale through while that of senate is still in doubt.<br \/>\nTrumpeta learnt that the loss, especially that of the Governor, senate and House of Reps has forced some of the chieftains of the party, especially those of the coalition faction to relocate to Abuja for the purposes of picking federal appointments from the Buhari administration.<br \/>\nIt was learnt that Ihedioha\u2019s victory has dealt a devastating blow to their political career at the home front. To avoid being irrelevant in the political map of the state, they considered it necessary to relocate.<br \/>\nFindings revealed that Chief among those seeking political comfort outside the state is the outgoing Deputy Governor, Prince Eze Madumere and the governorship candidate of the APC who lost out, Senator Hope Uzodinma.<br \/>\nThe newspaper observed that since Madumere and Uzodinma have no elective position to hold on for now, what is left for them is to seek appointive positions using their contacts at the federal level.<br \/>\nOthers like Chief Jude Ejiogu and contestants for position of governor are also said to be involved in the Abuja push to get federal appointments.<br \/>\nOur correspondent observed that the APC politicians are establishing serious links with the Presidency and National Working Committee members of the party for consideration.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/?attachment_id=24138\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-24138\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-24138\" src=\"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/APC.png\" alt=\"APC\" width=\"852\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/APC.png 852w, http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/APC-300x270.png 300w, http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/APC-768x692.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 852px) 100vw, 852px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aftermath of 2019 Elections Imo APC losers Warn Up For Federal Appointments .Madumere, Uzodinma, Ejiogu<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24243","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-frontpage"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","elegant-magazine-featured":"","elegant-magazine-medium":"","elegant-magazine-medium-small":"","elegant-magazine-thumbnail-small":""},"author_info":{"info":["Imo Trumpeta"]},"category_info":"<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/?cat=3\" rel=\"category\">Frontpage<\/a>","tag_info":"Frontpage","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24243","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=24243"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24243\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24244,"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24243\/revisions\/24244"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=24243"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=24243"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=24243"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
