The Imo State governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Sen. Hope Uzodinma has denied felicitating with Emeka Ihedioha over his declaration as winner of the state governorship election.
NAN reports that video of Ihedioha and Uzodinma allegedly celebrating Ihedioha’s emergence and ending Gov. Rochas Okorocha’s political dynasty has been trending on the social media.
Uzodinma, who made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Abuja, disclosed that the video of him and Ihedioha trending on social media was at a different occasion, way before the election.
He called on his supporters to disregard the report, saying it was the handiwork of mischief makers who were bent on peddling lies against him.
He vowed to challenge the outcome of the election in court to reclaim his mandate.
Uzodinma said there were irregularities in the March 9, governorship election that produced Ihedioha.
