A chieftain of the All Progressive Congress, APC and former Commissioner in Imo State, Prof Nnamdi Obiareri, has expressed fear and given reasons why the All Progressive Congress, APC, may lose Okigwe Senate seat.
He expressed worry, saying the party is going into the election in tatters.
“Truth be told, APC cannot afford the luxury of going into the Okigwe zone senate election in tatters.
“Already, the post primary processes have been badly handled as not less than thirteen aspirants have procured the costly nomination forms awaiting screening and participation in the Senate primary election.
He said what is going in the party pertaining to the primary election is a “rat race” and it’s implication is “likely to be controversial as one person out of the crowd will be declared winner, assuming the election is free and fair, and if otherwise, you cannot guarantee what those aspirants who did not declared winner will do thereafter”
He said “With the myraid of Senatorial aspirants and the looming prospect of a fractious or controversial party primary, things no balance well for APC in Okigwe zone
He continued “How fast the APC is able to heal from the bruises of the primary election to be held in early September and come together before going into the Senate election in late October holds the ace for the fortune of the party in the Senatorial bye election
