The excited APC supporters chanted victory songs as they moved along the streets with the party’s flags and brooms.
It was gathered that various groups of convoys from nearby parts of the state joined the victory march from Port Harcourt Road to Bank Road, Wetheral Road, Douglas and Okigwe roads.
A resident, Victor Ibeabuchi said:
“Anyone in Imo State who knows the candidates well would know that somehow, it was only Governor Hope who contested the election. The other candidates did not show much determination to wrestle power from Uzodimma and I’m saying this with due respect to the efforts made by the PDP and LP candidates.”
