  • Uzodinma seeks authority in upcoming governorship election.
  • Elections focus on insecurity, housing burning, rural underdevelopment, and worker welfare

The Governor of Imo State and the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Hope Uzodinma has dumped his deputy, Placid Njoku, ahead of the November 11, 2023 governorship election in the state.

It was gathered that Uzodinma, on Saturday, officially unveiled his running mate, Chinyere Ekomaru, at a ceremony which took place in Owerri, the state capital.

Uzodinma while revealing the reason for dumping Njoku and choosing Ekomaru said, “The choice of a new running mate does not mean he has issues with the present Deputy Governor Placid Njoku. The development, he continued, is due to ecumenical and political permutations.”

Ahead of the governorship election in the state, Uzodinma is hoping to retain power in the state and defeat governorship candidates of the Action Alliance (AA), Lincoln Ogunewe, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Samuel Anyanwu, Labour Party (LP), Senator Athan Achonu and others.

However, ahead of the election the issue of insecurity especially the burning of houses, killings of residents, underdevelopment in the rural areas, and workers’ welfare have remained at the front burner.
