Amby Uneze in Owerri

Sensing some acrimony after the primaries, Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma has urged aspirants from the state seeking tickets for the Senate, House of Representatives and House of Assembly under the All Progressives Congress (APC) to embrace loyalty, discipline and sacrifice, and not to stake their children’s school fees ahead of the party primaries that kicked off yesterday, May 15, 2026.

Speaking during a meeting with aspirants, leaders and stakeholders of the party in the state at the Banquet Hall of Government House, Owerri, Uzodimma described politics as “not a lottery but a game of courage,” stressing that “some people will win and some will not.”

The governor who warned against desperation, urged aspirants to remain committed to the party before, during and after the primaries, saying “there is a need for loyalty to the party. That is what our partisan democracy requires.”
