Tension builds in Imo APC
Tension is palpably brewing in the All Progressives Congress in Imo State following Governor Hope Uzodimma’s declaration of interest in the Imo West Senatorial seat during the ongoing nomination of candidates.
The declaration may have upset political calculations in the state chapter of the APC.
The district is currently represented by Senator Osita Izunaso who is seeking a return ticket.
Party sources said that the contest for the ticket by the governor and Izunaso may prove a hard nut to crack for the party.
Uzodimma had represented the zone in the Senate twice between 2011 and 2019.
Party sources said although the two men are eminently qualified, deciding on who to pick the ticket this time around requires wisdom otherwise the unity of the party may be destroyed.
It was gathered that both camps have intensified consultations with stakeholders on their aspirations.
