” This means from the 5th they are no longer officials of the party ,so whatever took place yesterday as election does not stand according to the face of the law.”


Meanwhile, the Aburi led faction of the party had earlier on Saturday conducted its own primary election where senator Athan Achonu emerged with 134 votes defeating his closest rival, Lincoln Ugunewe who polled 125 votes .

Nwagwu ,9 votes and Chinedu Amadi ,4 votes.


However, Ike given reasons for stepping down for Ukaegbu said “I will not say much, I entered Imo and saw that the State needed labour party and labour party is the party that Imo also need ,we have seen the charade that has been going on in southeast ,it’s very troublesome and we have come to cleanse it ,this is what we need and on this I step down for Ukaegbu”.


In his acceptance speech, Ukaegbu vowed that he would never to surrender his ticket to anybody. He said ” I thank you all for making this happen today, I want to assure you that I will make you proud, I will never surrender my ticket to anybody, I have prepared for this for twelve years and one thing I would like to tell you again is that I’m not an opportunist,together we would build Imo of our dream”.
