We wish to state in unequivocal terms that this report is a mischievous fabrication, a calculated falsehood, and a desperate propaganda stunt orchestrated by a panic-stricken APC administration in Imo afraid of its inevitable electoral rejection.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For the avoidance of doubt, there is no such subsisting order or judgment from any court of competent jurisdiction nullifying the congresses of our great party. The claim is not only false but also betrays a poor understanding of judicial processes and the rule of law. It is a deliberate attempt to mislead the public, create confusion, and undermine the credibility of a political movement that continues to gain widespread acceptance and popularity.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We find it both ironic and pathetic that an administration that has consistently presided over governance failures would now resort to planting fictitious court judgments in a bid to cling to relevance. This reckless disinformation campaign is a clear indication that the Uzodimma-led government is deeply rattled by the growing popularity and structured grassroots penetration of our party, APP.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Let it be clearly stated that our recently concluded ward, local government, and state congresses were conducted in full compliance with the provisions of the Electoral Act 2026 (as amended) and in line with all constitutional guidelines of our party. These congresses monitored by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) were transparent, credible, and widely adjudged as a model of internal party democracy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Rather than dissipating energy on propaganda and cheap political gimmicks, we challenge the outgoing government in Imo State to prepare to meet us in the field, where the will of the people will be freely expressed. No amount of falsehood, intimidation, or distortion of facts can stop the rising tide of a people determined to reclaim their future.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We therefore call on our supporters, party faithful, and the general public to disregard this baseless publication and all similar narratives, as they are nothing but infertile gimmicks from a known electoral bandit desperate to manipulate public perception. The people are wiser, more informed, and resolute in their demand for accountable and people-oriented leadership.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Chima Matthew Amadi remains focused, undeterred, and fully committed to the collective aspiration of building a new Imo State anchored on justice, development, and inclusive governance. No amount of coordinated falsehood can derail this mission.<\/p>\n<p>May Imo prevail!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Signed:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>CAJETAN DUKE, JP<\/p>\n<p>Chief Press Secretary to Dr Chima Matthew Amadi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PRESS RELEASE &nbsp; April 29, 2026 &nbsp; AMADI DISMISSES FALSE COURT CLAIM, ACCUSES GOVERNMENT
