Seven other governor wee in Owerri to show support for the Imo governor.
Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo on Tuesday formally expressed support for the All Progressives Congress (APC), urging the people of the state to join him.
Mr. Okorocha made the declaration at a rally in Owerri as part of activities marking his two years in office.
He said his intention of joining APC was to ensure that the people continued to benefit from the dividends of democracy.
He explained that APGA had engaged in the merger and not in alliance with any party, noting that a two party system was good for the country’s democracy.
The governor told the crowd that came to witness his declaration that the state had witnessed more development in two years than in the past 12 years.
Mr. Okorocha also told them that APC would bring the state closer to the “federal eye”.
Moves by the governor to merge APGA with others to form the APC has generated heat among APGA stakeholders.
Seven state governors were present at the rally to show solidarity with the governor.
Speaking at the occasion, Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos commended Mr. Okorocha for his bold move, describing APC as the solution to the numerous challenges facing the country.
Governor Umaru Al-Makura of Nasarawa described the governor as a true democrat who would not relent in delivering the dividends of democracy to his people and urged them to support Mr. Okorocha.
On his part, Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti observed that Mr. Okorocha had brought some noticeable changes in the state, saying he would, through the APC, bring more transformation.
Similarly, Governors Adams Oshiomhole of Edo and Rauf Aregbesola of Osun congratulated Mr. Okorocha on his achievements, noting that the rally was to create awareness and sensitise the people on the need to support the merger.

Who even allowed this man to join APGA

wily:wily:
Who even allowed this man to join APGA

That guy is still the best candidate APGA has produced. Is it the other APGA governor you want to boast of? Thank Okorocha for once being in APGA, he made Igbo people have hope in APGA. Sincerely, APGA has lost a performer.

I smell an air of progressives. God bless Imo State.

The guy is a mere tout..

If not for the support of Obi he wouldn't be yapping like a parrot in Owerre govt house today..

Abagworo: I smell an air of progressives. God bless Imo State.

Imo oni baje o

Okorocha will always remain a PDP man. 4get the drama

Okorocha will never campaign for Buhari to be voted as President, this is certain.

The question then becomes, why is he going to APC and what can he do for them?

APGA/APC vs APGA/PDP, lets see which 2015 will favour!

thank god

Hope dis APC will be supra national party wit 1 single, that's development of dis country not another PDP

Tout how What makes him a tout...another soludo/akunyili disciple...SMH

Okroacha my guy!

That's a great move sir, every reasonable Iboman should listen to this governor, his on the right track... Haters should kick rocks!

SO Okorocha finally abandoned the sinking APGA ship.

Good one governor

That is nice!

Not a story since we know he has an alliance with them when top opposition parties met for coalition.

They will be calling him all sorts of names now like antiojukwu!

@Chino I will advise you for the last time to stop mentioning Obi's support as what made Rochas governor. Anambra is governed by a woman (Mrs Peter Obi) and we Imolites get offended each time you attribute the emergence of Rochas as governor to that hermaphrodite.

no mind am bros, na Buhari dem deh fear

Just as expected. He was present during the ANC's merger with APC in Lagos weeks ago.
The merging is getting interesting day by day. PDP's butt is getting some heat.
-------------------
Last Bullet: These APC dudes are so desperate that I m beginning to dislike them before they assume power. And that's if they will.

dayokanu: SO Okorocha finally abandoned the sinking APGA ship.

Good one governor

And the same style he will abandon APC when the time comes.

APC is what any sensible political office Holder would go for!!! What I won't accept if "If APC starts accepting PDP rejected dogs"


They would have to ans to me!!!

Okorocha has made a bad calculation and is going to backfire big time.

What benefits is there for him in joining AREWA PEOPLES CONGRESS to actualise NORTHERN 'BORN TO RULE' Presidential ambition.

If, The Presidency is offered to either Oshiomole, Okorocha or Fashola with a Northern VP, and the other governors in APC coalition given either senatorial seats or good ministerial positions then hey may be able to unseat PDP but it won't happen.
The North will either Present Bhuari or any other Northern candidates as President and they will lose again
Forgot to mention that APC has NOT being Registered yet and may not be.

The incompetence is already showing what 'APC' will do if they get elected. Simple legal formalities and compliance they couldn't do it and they want to run the country. NO TO BHUARI

Lol Okorocha joins (unofficial)APC officially.

He joins a yet to be registered party. Good for him.

Okorocha will cry like a baby when the Arewa Political Confusion (APC) will rubish him.

Bump

APC eh? No problem. But if anyone tosses a northerner in the mix and expects Nigerians to vote him or her into a top post then APC will be dead on arrival. I hope Rochas does not think that because he grew up in the north that he will be favoured by them. The core north betray anyone they have an alliance with. They are what has dragged the nation backwards. There must be a priority for state creation to balance things out. No progress can made with the North having a bigger say. If that cannot be done then we better split up and find our own way to progress. Federal character must die and be replaced bt merit alone.

This is good for Ndi Igbo and good for all Nigerians!

APC and PDP will BOTH represent every tribe.

Let the two parties compete with IDEAS, not ETHNICITY!
