Uzodimma Thrashes Okorocha in APC Orlu Zone Senatorial Primary

Governor Hope Uzodimma won the APC primary for Imo West Senatorial District in Orlu Zone by a landslide, securing 230,464 votes to former Governor Rochas Okorocha’s 1,098. In Imo North and East, aspirants stepped down for consensus candidates Alex Mbata and Senator Patrick Ndubueze. Okorocha alone insisted on contesting against the governor in Orlu. The result was announced at the collation centre in Orlu by Rear Admiral Williams Kayode (retd.), who said Uzodimma swept all 12 local government areas. The party praised those who withdrew before voting for strengthening unity and thanked INEC and security agents for ensuring a smooth process. I’m not sure who advised Okorocha to challenge someone who seems to prefer politics over governance.
