APC Has No Governorship Candidate In Imo State — Rochas Okorocha

Rochas Okorocha has stated that the All Progressives Congress (APC) does not have a governorship candidate in the state.

This is contrary to the decision by the APC National Working Committee (NWC) to pick Senator Hope Uzodinma as the party’s guber candidate in Imo.

According to Okorocha, Uzodinma is riding on a stolen mandate, adding that the APC’s governorship candidate should be his son-in-law, Uche Nwosu.

He said: “The governor is in APC, and he had an agreement with AA, to support President Muhammadu Buhari for 2019.

“The governor will be in APC, he will support Buhari. APC in Imo state does not have a candidate as far as we are concerned.

“There was no primary that could choose Hope Uzodimma, as the candidate of the party. If there should be a candidate of APC, it should be Uche Nwosu. Hope Uzodimma, is riding on a stolen mandate.

“Okorocha can never support a man that emerged through a fraudulent process.

“Let me tell you, Hope Uzodimma, is the candidate of Adams Oshiomole, he is not the candidate of Imo APC.

“We in APC, we don’t see him as our candidate. Uzodimma is Oshiomole’s personal candidate.

“Governor Rochas Okorocha is contesting for Senatorial election and he does not have enough time to campaign for any kind of APC, guber candidate in the state.”
