As\nthe lingering Imo North Senatorial (Okigwe zone) Seat remains undecided, with\nthe Independent National Electoral Commission INEC still not sure when to hold\nthe election, the incumbent Governor of Imo State, Senator Hope Uzodinma has\nbecome a beautiful bride for all the Aspirants contesting under All Progressive\nCongress APC platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This\nis because, the APC Aspirants are of the belief that whoever is endorsed by\nGovernor Uzodinma has at least, passed one of the high stakes waiting before\nthe election proper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trumpeta<\/em> learnt that all\nthe Aspirants have been running around the Governor to gain his attention and\nendorsement, which will be sealed with the primaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Already,\na lot of the Aspirants have shown interest on the seat openly, while the likes\nof Senator Ifeanyi Araraume, rumoured to be interested in the matter, is yet to\nopenly indicate his intention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The\nUzodinma factor became a serious issue to the Aspirants as he is now the Apex Leader\nof APC in Imo State by the virtue of his being the Governor of Imo State now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Those\nwho are said to be eyeing the seat now made vacant by the demise of the former\noccupant, Senator Benji Uwajumogu, are many.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They\ninclude Senator Ifeanyi Araraume, late Senator Benji Uwajumogu\u2019s sister, Lady\nChidinma Uwajumogu, former Imo House of Assembly Speaker, Hon Acho Ihim, former\nSecretary to Imo State Government, Hon Mark Uchendu, Hon Mathew Omegara, Chief\nChikwem Onuoha, Senator Athan Achonu and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However,\nLate Senator Benji Uwajumogu\u2019s wife has withdrawn from the race, including Hon\nChike Okafor who last week said that there was no time he indicated to run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Indications\nare that Gov Uzodinma, even though he will be an important factor in the\nproduction of APC candidate for the Okigwe Senator Seat, has not yet made up\nhis mind on who to support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But\ndespite this, some of the Aspirants have been \u201cdropping\u201d the name of the\nGovernor, in their pursuance of the election, which is bound to shake the\nfoundation of Okigwe zone once more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The\nOkigwe Senate seat has remained a recurring decimal in Imo State elections,\nsince 2019 other Senatorial zones completed their own elections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As the lingering Imo North Senatorial (Okigwe zone) Seat remains undecided, with the Independent
