Of the four main Imo governorship contestants, three were in the APC up till last year.
The political atmosphere in Imo State has arguably never been this electrified.
The race was to be a straight one between candidates of the APC and the Peoples Democratic Party , but the controversy that trailed Mr Uzodinma’s emergence disrupted that design.Now, votes will be divided among four major candidates: three of which were initially aspirants in the APC. Though Ikedi Ohakim, a former governor of the state, is also running under the Accord Party, his chance is relatively the slimmest as the party is yet to establish a strong structure in the state.Mr Okorocha’s decision to oppose his party for the governorship election, but wield support for Mr Buhari in the presidential polls has become the Wildstorm threatening his political career.
While still battling with the contentions trailing the result declaration of Imo West, Mr Okorocha was handed an indefinite suspension by the APC, two days after Mr Buhari was declared winner of the presidential polls. Mr Madumere had been embroiled in a supremacy battle with Mr Okorocha because he had wanted to run for the governorship seat against the wish of his boss.
While AA’s Nwosu hails from Imo west, Mr Uzodinma is the outgoing senator of the zone whom the governor is angling to replace. The election was adjudged by observers and participants to be fraught with irregularities such as ballot snatching, invasion of polling units and harassment of voters by thugs.
