Uwajumogu Wednesday told former Military Head of State and
presidential aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC), General
Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), in clear terms that delegates of the APC from
the state will not vote for him in the presidential primaries.
The Speaker made the pronouncement when Buhari paid an unscheduled
visit to the Imo State House of Assembly to solicit support from the
APC legislators of the assembly who are automatic delegates to the
presidential primaries of the party.
Speaker Uwajumogu told the former Head of State that just like most
Igbo men, the Imo State House of Assembly is supporting Governor
Rochas Okorocha for the APC presidential ticket but will not be voting
for Buhari.
The Speaker explained that: "The perception is that APC is not an Igbo
party. Hence the Assembly is joining men of goodwill and indeed the
entire Igbo nation to support Governor Rochas Okorocha and by so doing
prove that Ndigbo truly have a stake in the APC."
