The Renewed Hope Foot Soldiers for Tinubu, a political group, has expressed concern that the ongoing crisis in the Imo State All Progressives Congress, APC, could cost President Bola Tinubu votes from the South-East region in the 2027 presidential election. The group's National President, Gbenga Owojori, urged the dissension involving Imo Governor Hope Uzodimma and former Governor Rochas Okorocha to be resolved swiftly.
Owojori emphasized that if the Imo APC crisis persists, it will negatively impact Tinubu's chances of securing votes from the South-East in 2027. The dispute has implications beyond the immediate constituency, influencing political calculations surrounding the Senate presidency and raising doubts about a leading South-East contender's ability to participate in the upcoming contest.
Owojori called on Governor Uzodimma and Okorocha to put aside their differences and collaborate for the unity of the party in Imo State and the South-East. The group stressed that President Tinubu requires the votes of the South-East to win the 2027 election and cannot afford to lose the region due to the Imo crisis.
