There was confusion, however, when Senator Hope Uzodinma, who contested the Imo State governorship primary, was among senate aspirants cleared to contest against Okorocha.

In a separate statement, the ruling party, announced that the senate primary will commence in some states, today.

Meanwhile, Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, former governor of Enugu State, Dr. Chimaroke Nnamani and a member of the Board of Trustees, Chief Chris Uba, have picked the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) senatorial tickets in Enugu and Anambra states.

In his acceptance speech, Ekweremadu declared the primary election as the best in the country and an example in free, fair and credible election.

On his part, Nnamani defeated the incumbent, Gil Nnaji, to clinch the ticket, although the election would be concluded today with the balloting of Nkanu West Local Government Area, which would not change the outcome of the exercise.

Nnamani, who won in absentia, polled 597 votes, while Nnaji got 69.
