"Uzodimma is the chosen one": Ikuru

The election will take place in the last quarter of the year due to the belated inauguration of incumbent Governor Uzodimma.

Making a prediction ahead of the off-cycle poll, Prophet Ikuru seemed to dash the hope of Samuel Anyanwu, the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

He said via a recent video post:

“And people of Imo state, Hope Uzodinma is the one you’ve chosen. God has chosen him.”
