Imo West APC Chairmen Stand by Uzodimma as Court Nullifies Candidacy

In a surprising turn of events, chairmen of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 12 local government areas of Imo West Senatorial District have reaffirmed their support for Governor Hope Uzodimma, following a court judgement that nullified his candidacy. According to a report by THISDAYLIVE, the judgement was delivered by an Abuja High Court on October 31, 2026. However, the APC chairmen have maintained that Uzodimma remains their candidate. The development comes as a shock, as the judgement had initially raised questions about the governor’s political future. The APC, which is the ruling party in Imo State, has not yet commented on the judgement or the APC chairmen’s reaffirmation of support for Uzodimma. This story matters to Nigerian readers because it provides insight into the political dynamics in Imo State, particularly within the APC, and the future of Governor Uzodimma’s political career.
