LP’s Imo Gubernatorial Candidate, Athan Achonu, Stands Firm, Rejects Rumors of Being a Placeholder
Athan Achonu, the Labour Party (LP) candidate for the Imo gubernatorial election, is resolute in his pursuit of the position, despite efforts by the incumbent, Hope Uzodimma, to dissuade him. Amid speculation that some view him as a potential placeholder candidate open to persuasion, Achonu affirmed his commitment to the race during an interview on the prime-time program ‘Politics Today’ on Channels Television, held on Friday, October 20.
Achonu asserted, ‘The people of Imo State already know the truth. They are supporting me. How can I be a placeholder for Hope Uzodimma? Offer me $1 million? That’s not possible. I have a long-standing presence in this country and a reputation for integrity. Even $100 million cannot buy me. I am not for sale; money cannot sway me.'”
