Confusion and frustration have taken over the camp of the All Progressives Congress APC Imo State Chapter following a mock primary slated for Friday at Concorde Hotel Owerri, Imo State.
According to sources from the party, the exercise is to reduce the number of Aspirants jostling for positions in 2015 general election.
Trumpeta learnt that the Aspirants under APC platform are kicking against the mock primaries, which they described as part of the ploy by the State Executive to continue to milk the Aspirants dry.
Trumpeta sources told our Reporters that APC Aspirants have been lamenting over the exercise of extortions from the Party Executives who now see the Aspirants as their Oil Blocks that must be drilled every day, until they go bankrupt before the main election.
Aspirants who spoke to Trumpeta under anonymity said they had paid before for the mock primaries, which the party later stopped, and asked all the Aspirants to go ahead and purchase the Party forms for the main election, and therefore wondered the reason for another mock election two weeks to the original primaries which comes on December 1 2014, after they had funded their structures till now.
The worst, the Aspirants confided in Trumpeta, is that the party asked that Delegates should be transported to Concorde Hotel from the various Wards and LGAs to Owerri, by these Aspirants for the mock primaries holding from Friday to Saturday.
Most of the angry Aspirants pointed accusing fingers at the direction of the Imo APC organizing secretary, Dr Clement Anozie (Omeremba) as the ring Leader of the Cabal that has been using all manners of ploys to deal with the Aspirants.
The Aspirants threatened to boycott the so called mock primaries, as they believe it is nothing but the usual method of collecting the little funds they are reserving to execute the 2015 election. The Aspirants told Trumpeta that most of them have already gone broke even before the election proper commences.
