The Imo state APC chairman said that the decision to hold the congress in an undisclosed location was because of security reasons.

The Imo state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has secretly held its congress.

This was revealed to Punch by the party’s state chairman, Hilary Eke.

Eke said that the decision to hold the congress in an undisclosed location was because of security reasons.

You will recall that the police cordoned off the APC secretariat in Imo state after it was allegedly burnt down by hoodlums.

According to Eke who spoke to a Punch reporter on phone, officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) were on ground to monitor proceedings.

He said “Over 1,500 delegates have elected the state executives.

“The venue of the congress was not disclosed because of security reasons.

“INEC officials and officials of the party from Abuja are here.

“Okorocha is not part of the congress; the delegates are the ones electing the state executive.
