Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has said that he is still in
the All Progressives Congress, adding that his support for the success
of President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election is incontestable and
unshakable.
Okorocha, who spoke on Tuesday at the Government House, Owerri,
during a media parley, also added that Ugwumba Uche Nwosu, remained the
best candidate for the election in the state.
“He is visionary, dutiful, hardworking and a proactive young man. He
remains the best among all the candidates for the governorship election
in the state.”
Okorocha, however, contended that he was still in the APC having been one of the founding fathers of the party in the country.
“I cannot be part of destroying the mansion I have helped in
building. I totally support the APC and all of its candidates for the
2019 general elections.”
He further described what played out in the APC in the recent past on
who emerges as its Imo State governorship candidate as a political
injustice.
Stating that the choice of Senator Hope Uzodinma as the
state governorship candidate for the 2019 election was not the choice of
the party faithful. He regretted that the APC which was known for
uprightness and justice had lost its integrity and purposeful bearing.
He further said that he was not embattled in any form but that the fight against him was because of his political sagacity.
The governor blamed the APC National Chairman, Comrade Adams
Oshiomhole, who he described as a simpleton, having been deceived by
some disgruntled members of the party.
“I still have my numerous supporters with me, but those who are naïve
who want to leave and have left, I wish them good luck. This is because I
cannot stop them.”
Meanwhile, Okorocha had disclosed that he has the APC ticket for Imo
West (Orlu) Senatorial District election, just as he added that he would
coast to victory in the election.
