The Independent National
Electoral Commission, INEC did not add the name of the governorship candidate
of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Imo state on the list of governorship
candidates it published on Friday.
The candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, Emeka Ihedioha and 66 others were on the list, while
that of the APC was seen missing.
There has been serious battle for
the sole ticket of the party between Uche Nwosu, a former Chief of Staff of the
state governor, Rochas Okorocha and Senator Hope Uzodinma.
The National Chairman of the
party, Adams Oshiomhole has been in the middle of the battle as Okorocha
insisted on the emergence of his son-in-law as the governorship candidate for
APC.
Oshiomhole has, however,
recognised Senator Uzodinma as the candidate.
INEC’s decision to omit the name
of APC candidate from the state on its list is not unconnected with the order
given by the court mandating it not to publish any name for APC.
