The Chairman Of All Progressives Governors’ Forum and Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha has threatened to dump the ruling party, the APC if his preferred Governorship candidate and son-in-law, Uche Nwosu is denied ticket.
The Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha, is being watched very closely as there are rumours that he may defect from the All Progressives Congress (APC), even though he has denied them. On Thursday, Okorocha met with President Buhari the Presidential villa and attempted to clear the air over the issue.

Governor Okorocha made this disclosure during the swearing in of new Commissioners in the state at Nicks Banquet Hall, Government House, Owerri.The two time Governor also vowed to dump President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election should any attempt was made to drop his son-in-law in the 2019 governorship election.
According to him, President Buhari cannot win any election in the South East geo-political zone in particular and Nigeria at large in 2019 without his contribution, warning that any attempt to subvert his choice candidate would be counter productive to the party in the country.

Gov. Okorocha’s insistence on producing his son in-law, Uche Nwosu as his successor in office did not sit well with the Adams Oshiomole led National Working Committee of the party which insisted on submitting the name of Senator Hope Uzodinma as the party’s gubernatorial flagbearer. Both men are at logger heads, and Okorocha is one of the aggrieved governors calling for Oshiomole’s head.

Okorocha insists that his candidate, Mr Nwosu was affirmed winner of the primaries by 12 out of the 13 NWC delegation members that supervised the primaries. “He cannot stand on Hope Uzodinma because the gentleman did not win election; you cannot compare somebody who won 265,000 votes to somebody who won 7,000 votes. He did not; he never won the election and Oshiomhole cannot impose candidates unacceptable to people on the people.

He cannot do that and there is a letter to that effect from NWC saying Uche Nwosu won; there is a certificate of return given to Uche Nwosu; there is a police report saying Uche Nwosu; there is INEC report saying Uche Nwosu.” It should be pointed out however that the Ahmed Gulak Election committee which conducted the first primary in Imo ratified Uzodinma as the party’s flagbearer.
Per Okorocha, he came up with the name of the party – All Progressives Congress (APC). “How can I build a house and leave it for someone else? I am in APC; I founded APC; I gave the name APC and so this is our party and we continue with the party and build the party for victory.”
