from the Congresses of the All Progressive Congress, APC in Imo State<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Trumpeta recalls that ward and LGA Congresses were held last week where officials of the party emerged.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But in Imo State, it became interesting as the state governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma who had been witnessing a free ride in the state under APC witnessed some challenges which attempted to rival his dominance.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Since he picked the party&#8217;s ticket for the 2019 election and was declared a winner by the Supreme Court as elected governor, Uzodimma had not only been in charge of the party structure but also dictated the pace of proceedings in the ruling party.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>However, things appear to be changing with some arrow heads of the party in the state attempting to snatch the party structure from the governor.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Trumpeta gathered that before the Congresses of the party last week, a former Senator and governor with their allies were said to have made efforts to hijack the process from Uzodimma and his group.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>How the suspected Uzodimma group managed to get nomination forms for the ward Congresses different from the official ones sent signals of plot to hijack the process.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Dependable sources informed Trumpeta that apparently aware of no chance to gain relevance in the coming dispensation, the former Senator, said to be influential and backed with a formidable support group and financial muscle started seeking means to corner the process.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Alarmed by these plans which another former governor of the party (names withheld) is said to be part of, Uzodimma and cohorts turned round to devise a means and torpedoed the challenging forces.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Trumpeta has it on good authority that the efforts of the opposing group remain futile as Uzodimma is said to be coasting home with victory with his people in charge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aftermath of Imo APC Ward, LGA Congressees &nbsp; Forces Rise To Challenge Uzodimma\u2019s Supremacy
