The Hope Uzodinma Campaign Organisation, HUCO, has advised the All Progressives Congress, APC, candidate in the last Imo West Senatorial District Election, Osita Izunaso, to accept defeat if he believes in democracy rather than resorting to blackmail with intent to reverse the will of Orlu people, who overwhelmingly voted for Senator Hope Uzodinma at the election.

In an apparent reaction to the claim that the Imo State chapter of the Independent Electoral Commission, INEC, was allegedly conniving with the Peoples Democratic party, PDP, to frustrate the APC at the electoral tribunal, Director General of HUCO and Chairman of the Senatorial Council, Orlu Zone, Dr. Christopher Osuala told journalists in Abuja, weekend, that Izunaso and his group in their series of blackmail, have now resorted to descending on the Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC, in Imo State and the INEC, crying foul where nothing exists.

Going down memory lane, Osuala said that, “from 2007-2011, Osita Izunaso was the senator representing Orlu Zone on the platform of PDP, but due to his poor performance, Orlu people outrightly rejected him (Izunaso) in 2011 and elected a new political icon-Senator Hope Uzodinma, making it the first time an incumbent will lose to a new entrant.”
