Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha has said that the All Progressives Congress (APC) will lose Imo State in 2019.
.
According to the statement, the Governor reiterated that APC has lost no fewer than 10 million supporters under the leadership of its current national chairman Adams Oshiomhole who has been attacking him for his overbearing and domineering power in the state.
.
Okorocha who spoke through his Commissioner for Information, Patrick Nzeh, was reacting to a statement credited to Oshiomhole, that himself and the Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun are political liabilities with only one vote each.
.
According to Okorocha, Oshiomhole is a victim of his own actions, and that as a political liability, he was on a mission to destroy the ruling party which was handed over to him.
He boasted that his son-in-law, Uche Nwosu who recently joined the Action Alliance (AA) and became their Governorship candidate would defeat the APC governorship candidate in Imo.
Meanwhile, according to the daily post, Uche Nwosu as a gubernatorial candidate has been rejected by the National Chairman of his new party, Action Alliance party, AA, Tunde Anifowose-Kelani.
According to the Chairman, Nwosu was yet to become a registered member of the party.
He said, for this reason, the former Imo Chief of Staff, cannot be recognized as the party’s standard-bearer in Imo State for the forthcoming general elections.
Kelani told reporters on Thursday that “Uche Nwosu is not yet a member of our party and cannot come through the back door to be a gubernatorial candidate of the party in Imo state.”
He further pointed out that the party had rules and regulations guiding its operation and that in order to become a registered member there was due process such person must follow.
He advised that if Uche Nwosu really wants to be a registered member of Action Alliance Party, he should do the needful.
“People of such pedigree should know better than junk politicking which would not help towards 2019,” he said.
Also, the Imo state Speaker and other 18 House of rep members have dumped the APC and joined the AA party.
