The three former aspirants for Imo North senatorial seat, at the just-concluded primary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief Longers Anyanwu, Hon Gloria Akobundu and Kennedy Odoeme, have insisted that they were not forced to stepped down for the incumbent, Senator Patrick Ndubueze.
Recall that the trio, considered as strong contenders, had announced their withdrawal from the race shortly before the commencement of the primary.
They had gone further to pledge their support for Ndubueze and urged their supporters to vote for the incumbent.
