Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, has vowed not to relinquish his All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial ticket to anyone ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Uzodimma made the declaration on Sunday after attending Mass at the Government House Chapel in Owerri, the state capital.

He was reacting to speculations that he might lose his senatorial ambition under the APC ahead of the forthcoming elections.

The governor dismissed the claims, insisting that nobody would take the ticket away from him and hand it over to another person.

“If they tell you that I will hold this ticket and somebody will collect it and give it to another, tell the person it is a lie,” he said.

Uzodimma also declared that his political camp would not support any other political party, urging residents to campaign for the APC.

He further announced Patrick Ndubueze as the party’s senatorial candidate for Okigwe Zone.

His remarks came days after a Federal High Court in Abuja directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to remove his name as the APC candidate for Imo West Senatorial District and replace him with former governor Rochas Okorocha.
