Delegates to the recent Imo State congress of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have re-elected Mr. Hillary Ekeh as state chairman of the party.
Also elected along was Mr. Ugochukwu Nzekwe, who clinched the position of Deputy Chairman, at a Congress described as both peaceful and successful.
Governor Rochas Okorocha, who was absent at the congress, had described the election as illegal.
The governor had obtained an injunction from an Owerri High Court to stop the congress.
However, Ekeh countered the claim by saying neither he nor any member of the executive was served the injunction notice.
Senator Ifeanyi Araraume described the congress election as peaceful and well-coordinated.
He said there was no fracas or any form of violence during the process and commended the party chairman for his re-election.
Asked if he has any idea of the injunction notice, Araraume said there was nothing like injunction stopping the conduct of the election.
“We the party stakeholders have no idea of any injunction, but even if there is an injunction nobody had been served so our election has to move on.”
