According to imostate.gov.ng,the participation of Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State in the merger talks that led to the formation of the All Progressive Congress (APC) has been applauded by members of the Imo State Expanded Executives and his political associates who described the move as visionary and timely.
The members unanimously expressed their support to Governor Okorocha and endorsed the new mega party in an affirmative voice vote after the governor briefed them on the matter during a close-door meeting with political appointees and associates which took place at the Sam Mbakwe Expanded Exco Chambers recently.
While throwing more light on his participation, Governor Okorocha is said to have expressed satisfaction and optimism that APC would provide a formidable platform that will enthrone good governance at all levels in the country in 2015.
The ‘Rescue Mission’ governor also carpeted the ruling People’s Democratic Party(PDP) for failing to address the socio-economic problems that have continued to slow down the
development of Nigeria for the past 14 years during which the PDP have ruled the country.
Responding to questions from journalists, the Special Assistant to the Governor on Media, Mr. Ebere Uzoukwa, who was also in attendance, described the meeting as fruitful and a significant step towards making APC a household name in Imo and the South East.
The governor's media aide added that having secured the support of his political associates, Governor Okorocha who is charged with the responsibility of coordinating the activities of the party in the South East has commenced putting the necessary structures on ground towards strengthening the party for victory ahead of future elections in the zone.
Said he, "As I am speaking with you, Governor Okorocha who no doubt is a ‘beautiful bride’ in the merger considering his popularity in the North and West and the massive support he has continued to enjoy in the South-East, has started consultations with other leaders and progressives from the zone. Then considering the achievement of the governor in the bid to rescue Imo State vis-a-vis the fact that he remains a brand well respected by the Igbos owing to his uncommon leadership qualities, APC will definitely win Anambra in 2014 and other South-East States in 2015"
