Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma has assured that all All
Progressives Congress, APC aspirants who contested the party’s primaries for
the LGA polls but failed to scale through will be refunded the money spent on
purchase of forms.
The governor maintained that there is no going back on the
date for the LG elections, insisting that September 21, 2024 remains
sacrosanct.
A statement issued by the Senior Special Assistance to the
Governor on Electronic and Creative Media, Ambrose Nwaogwugwu, disclosed that
Uzodinma gave the assurance after attending Sunday Mass at the Government House
Chapel in Owerri.
The governor made it clear that only the funds spent on
purchasing forms from the party will be refunded, excluding expenses made
without receipts, such as those spent on consultations.
“All the people that applied as aspirants to run for either
councillorship or chairmanship in the local government election who are not
successful, your moneys will be refunded tomorrow (Monday).
“The ones we will not refund is the one you gave without
receipts (for consultations),” the governor stated.
He urged the aspirants to remain steadfast and objective, and
consider the greater good of the party and the state above individual
interests.
Uzodinma also pleaded with leaders whose expectations may
have been disappointed to bear with the party and make sacrifices for the sake
of the party in particular and the state in general.
Uzodinma reassured the public that the election will proceed
as scheduled by the Imo State Electoral Commission (ISIEC) on September 21,
2024.
