Nwaforj44:
Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha, is ruing his support for Adams Oshiomhole to emerge the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The Imo West APC senatorial candidate bared his mind yesterday at the Orlu Township Stadium, while flagging off his campaign.

Okorocha said the national chairman, whom he christened “Oshi and Ole”, has shown unreliable character.

“My finishing governor as is not a full-stop. It is a comma because after every comma, a sentence will follow. Those who are afraid of me politically have ganged up to fight me, including the person I supported to become the national chairman. That is why they brought Hope Uzodinma. He is not running for any election, but was only recruited to fight me in my Orlu zone.


“I am also running for the Senate election to attract a lot of things for Orlu people. You have seen what I have done as a governor. When I go to the Senate, there will be a massive difference. Nzeribe, Izunaso and Uzodinma had wasted the position for years, as there is no project they can boast of in Orlu zone. They were only interested in their pockets,” the governor said.
He challenged his rival in the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Senator Osita Izunaso, to present what he did when he served the zone for four years.
“Please, ask Osita Izunaso what he has been able to attract to Orlu zone for the four years he spent in the House of Representatives and four years he spent as a senator, not even a bungalow was attracted to Orlu zone. So, he should go and sit down.
“I am very grateful to you all. I have never seen in my life a senatorial rally taking the shape of a national rally. The crowd here is intimidating and has humbled me. What I understand is that you are saying to me Rochas carry go; you are saying to me, go to Abuja.”

Every genuine APC supporter regrets Oshiomole. The reason for the support he got was to achieve peaceful primaries in a free and fair environment but he chose sentiments over party internal democracy. There is nothing difficult in condicting party primaries since only members are involved and there is no need for allocation of slots when the majority of party members have made a choice. His action in Imo would have cost Buhari a total defeat if not for Okorocha's personal relationship with Buhari which has made him work for Buhari getting up to 80% votes in Imo in the upcoming election. Hope Uzodimma and other 419 kingpins that yahood Oshiomole cannot win their ward and are known criminal fraudsters in the villages.

Shut up. Do you remember that the congress election conducted by Oyegun in Imo state actually sidelined Okorocha before Oshiomole came to cancel it? Okorocha wouldn't have even got the senatorial ticket had Oshiomole didn't come to his rescue. Okorocha should be thanking Oshiomole.

The only reason Okorocha is in pains is because Oshiomole refused him from having his way all through with his house boy(Nwosu).

As for being 419 and criminals, there is no difference between Okorocha and Uzodimma.

APC will be lucky to get 15% in Imo state. Mark it somewhere.

Abagworo:


The problem Oyegun brought is no different from Oshiomole. You cannot allocate positions where majority of the State party members and over 90% in the case of Imo have dully elected their choice all in a bid to satisfy PDP members that recently joined APC.
