Information reaching our desk seems to indicate that the outgoing governor of Imo State Rochas Okorocha may had reached an agreement with Senator Hope Uzodinma to dump his son-in-law Uche Nwosu's governorship ambition and back Senator Hope Uzodinma to enable him Okorocha replace Hope in the Senate.
Unconfirmed reports has it that Uche Nwosu would gradually be stepping down his campaign and may turn his focus to the Nkwerre, Nwagele, Njaba Federal Seat which is already being eyed by the Deputy Speaker of the Imo State House of Assembly Ozuruigbo who had been campaigning furiously for Uche Nwosu's gubernatorial ambition in what pundits viewed as a way of saving the Federal Seat for himself.
Following pressures from within and outside the state to jettison the succession plot, Okorocha would lose out of power and his only way to remain relevant would be if he could go to the Senate after he steps down next year.
However, with Hope Uzodinma being offered an automatic ticket by the presidency, Okorocha, it is believed has been forced to make the agreement with the Oru-East former Governorship aspirant who had suspended his governorship ambition just months ago after he was offered a chance to return to the Senate following defections from the ruling party.
Hope Uzodinma is a member of the Coalition that was formed within the Imo State APC to fight Okorocha's self-succession plot but with this suspected twist, it seems there have now appeared to be serious cracks in the Coalition.
We will keep you updated as events unfold.
