Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State has officially declared his intention to contest the Imo West Senatorial seat in the 2027 general elections.
Speaking on May 9, 2026, Uzodinma said his decision followed calls from constituents.
“My dear people of Imo West Senatorial District have once again called upon me to serve, and I have accepted this noble call with utmost humility, sincerity of purpose, and unwavering commitment to the collective advancement of our people,” he stated.
Uzodinma confirmed he had presented himself before the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Screening Committee for the National Assembly primaries.
He reaffirmed his loyalty to the party, saying: “The Senatorial seat I seek to occupy belongs first and foremost to our great party, while I remain only a loyal and dedicated candidate entrusted with the responsibility of projecting and advancing the ideals, vision, and aspirations of the APC to the very best of my ability.”
The governor praised the APC’s commitment to purposeful leadership and people‑oriented governance. He said it was the collective duty of members to sustain and deepen this mission for the benefit of Nigerians.
Uzodinma explained that his aspiration was inspired by the desire to consolidate on the gains of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s #RenewedHope administration.
“My aspiration to represent the good people of Imo West Senatorial District at the Red Chamber is inspired by the desire to consolidate on the gains of the #RenewedHope administration… through quality representation, effective legislation, enhanced development, and sustainable progress for our people and our nation,” he said.
He pledged to deliver effective representation, strengthen legislative processes, and ensure sustainable progress for Imo West.
