Governor of Imo state, Rochas Okorocha, has said that only his son-in-law, Uche Nwosu can win the 2019 governorship election in the state.
Okorocha's statement was issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Sam Onwuemeodo while reacting to the indefinite adjournment of the Imo APC governorship tussle between his son in law, Uche Nwosu and Senator Hope Uzodimma by the FCT High Court.
A High Court sitting in Abuja had adjourned Imo primaries indefinitely over bias petition in favour of Sen. Hope Uzodinma.
Also, The national leadership of All Progressives Congress, APC, yesterday, rallied against forces seeking removal of the chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, describing Governors Rochas Okorocha, Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara, Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun as bad losers.
According to Vanguard, the NWC had pencilled down Senator Hope Uzodinma as the party’s candidate despite the insistence by Governor Okorocha that he should have the Senate ticket for himself and the governorship ticket for his son-in-law.
A source privy to the development said:
“Rochas was asked to take one of the two, either Senate ticket or governorship but he is insisting on the two. What do we do with the others?
He is saying that he can win the election for us alone, but we cannot take his word to the bank,” the source said.
The NWC, Vanguard gathered has upon the governor's insistence pencilled down Uzodinma’s name for the governorship, a fact he said might have stimulated Okorocha’s angst.
It was reported that the party will respect and comply with whatever judgement in regards a court's action challenging the Imo governorship primary election. They will decide who will be the APC's governorship candidate for Imo State by November 2nd.
