Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma has made it clear that he will not surrender his senatorial ticket to anyone despite a recent court judgment voiding his candidacy.
He made this known on Sunday after attending Mass at the Government House Chapel in Owerri, the state capital.
The governor’s comments come days after a Federal High Court in Abuja ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to delist him as the APC candidate for Imo West Senatorial District and replace him with former Imo State governor Rochas Okorocha.

Reacting to speculation that he would lose the All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial ticket to his predecessor in the forthcoming 2027 general elections, Uzodimma vowed not to relinquish the slot.
“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.
The governor went on to insist that his political camp will not support any other political party, calling on residents to campaign for the APC.
Uzodimma also named Patrick Ndubueze as the party’s candidate for the Senate in the Okigwe zone.
