Okorocha Claims APC Ticket Amid Uzodimma Rivalry in Imo
The political conflict in Imo State intensifies as Governor Hope Uzodimma and former Governor Rochas Okorocha vie for the All Progressives Congress (APC) ticket for the Imo West Senatorial District. A Federal High Court ruling has recognized Okorocha as the winner of the party's primary election, exacerbating the rift between the two former allies.
Okorocha has aligned himself with the Rainbow Coalition, led by Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike, aiming to unite politicians across party lines to support President Bola Tinubu's re-election. During a recent appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Okorocha criticized Uzodimma's political standing and pledged to mobilize support for Tinubu, asserting that the Rainbow Coalition would include members from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
In contrast, Uzodimma has dismissed the Rainbow Coalition's existence in Imo State and warned against collaboration with external political platforms, emphasizing that mobilization for Tinubu must occur through the APC.
