Imo governor dismisses speculation over his APC senatorial ticket, insisting he has no intention of stepping aside for anyone ahead of the 2027 elections.
Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State has firmly rejected suggestions that he could relinquish his All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial ticket ahead of the 2027 general election, declaring that he has no intention of surrendering his political ambition to anyone.
Uzodimma made the declaration on Sunday after attending Mass at the Government House Chapel in Owerri, the Imo State capital.
The governor’s remarks come amid growing political discussions and speculation over the APC’s possible candidates for the 2027 elections, particularly in Imo State.
Speaking against the backdrop of the unfolding political conversations, Uzodimma maintained that he would not give up his senatorial ticket for any individual.
His position signals his determination to remain in the race as political alignments and calculations begin to shape the contest for elective positions ahead of the next general election.
The governor’s declaration is also likely to intensify political conversations within the APC in Imo State, where the party’s eventual choice of candidates could become a major issue as preparations for 2027 gather momentum.
Nigeria is scheduled to hold its next general election in 2027, with political parties expected to conduct primaries to select candidates for various elective offices.
Uzodimma’s latest comments suggest that he is prepared to defend his political position rather than step aside in favour of other contenders.
