Former Chief of Staff to the Imo state governor, Uche Nwosu, Tuesday,ย said that the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Adams Oshiomole, will give him back the partyโs governorship ticket before the December 1 Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) deadline.
Nwosu who was accorded a rowdy reception at the Sam Mbakwe Airportย by APC members, stated that he has no doubt that he will fly the partyโs ticket in the 2019 governorship election.
He dismissed as unfounded, reports that he is defecting from the APC to another where he hopes to actualize his ambition.
According to him, the currentย APCย governorship candidate, Senator Hope Uzodinma, โwill not be governor of the stateโ.
He stated that, โUzodinma is a tenant in APCโ.
Nwosu who is laying claim to the governorship ticket of the party in the state, said that the Court will dispense justice in the matter.
In his words, โI am the lawful governorship candidate of APC in Imo state. Our National Chairman did not respect theย rule of law and the constitution of our party in substituting my name for senator Hope Uzodinma.
โThe records are veryย clear. I won the first primary election on October 2.I also won the second primary held on October 6.The records are there.The police, INEC and DSS reports affirmed my victories.
โIt is only for a matter of time.We will get justice in court.my name shall be on the ballot. I shall be announced as the APC governorship candidate in Imo state. Hope Uzodinma wonโt be governor.โ
โThere is no truth in the rumour that I have dumped APC for Democratic Alternative. Iย am still in APC.I am a founding member of the ruling party.I won the ticket of the party and I shall led APC to victory in Imo state in 2019โ.
