The battle of supremacy between the Imo state Governor, Senator Hope Uzodinma and his predecessor and Senator representing Imo West, Owelle Rochas Okorocha got messier on Thursday following indications of a sharp division in the Senator Abdullahi Adamu-led National Working Committee NWC of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC.
The APC had on Thursday upheld the MacDonald Ebere led State Executive Committee in Imo state. The Ebere committee is loyal to Gov. Uzodinma.
Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Yakubu Ajaka told journalists after a meeting of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party that the June 15 letter earlier written by the Deputy Secretary, Barr. Festus Fuanter which recognized the leadership of Hon. Dan Nwafor was scripted in error.
Ajaka said; “The National Working Committee NWC just finished a meeting now and in their decision rescind that letter.
“So the status quo in Imo remains that the MacDonald Ebere led state Committee remains the substantive Chairman of the party in Imo state.
“There is no change of leadership, so what happened was just a mere mistake. The Supreme Court judgement was very clear, the current executive of MacDonald was a product of Congress.
