Simon Ebegbulem, former Imo State Commissioner for Trade and Investment, has declared confidence in winning the House of Representatives seat for Ehime Mbano/Ihitte Uboma/Obowo Federal Constituency. He attributed his optimism to an endorsement he says Governor Hope Uzodimma has given him. Ebegbulem made the claim on Tuesday in Abuja while speaking to journalists after submitting his completed expression of interest and nomination forms. He did not provide evidence of the endorsement during the interaction. Governor Uzodimma's office has not issued any statement confirming or denying the claim. Ebegbulem is one of several aspirants seeking the ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the constituency. The electoral race is expected to intensify as other aspirants also mobilise support within the party. No official reaction has come from the APC Imo State chapter on Ebegbulem's submission or his claim of gubernatorial backing.
