According to a close associate of the governor who declined to have his name on print, \u201cOwelle is sure that Izunaso cannot match Hope Uzodinma if he decides to seek re-election. You know the governor is from Orlu zone, so he wants his party, APC to control his senatorial zone. This is why he is shopping for s strong candidate to match Uzodinma.
