PDP Has Disappointed South-east –okorocha by nollywood200: 7:41am On Mar 01, 2013
Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State on Thursday said his decision to pitch tent with All Progressive Congress was because the Peoples Democratic Party, of which he was a founding member, had disappointed the people of the South-East geo-political zone and Nigerians.

The governor, who spoke to journalists at the Government House in Owerri on state and national issues, said he had nothing against President Goodluck Jonathan but his party, the PDP.

“There is the need for a better change, Nigerians are tired of Peoples Democratic Party, which is no longer what it used to be after failing to address the needs of Nigerians,” he said.

While declaring his interest and support for the merger and APC, Okorocha described the political party as a child of necessity capable of providing the much-needed change in the South-East region.

He promised to win the South-East zone for APC, saying the party would be good for democracy as well as for the Nigerian people.

He said APC would promote internal democracy since it did not support imposition of candidates.

According to him, if the country must have all-round development at the state and local government levels, people of the rural community must be allowed to partake in decisions on the affairs that concern them.

To this end, he proposed Community Government Council as the way forward.

Okorocha said, “Although the introduction of CGC in the state has received criticisms and lots of challenges, yet it has not deterred the rescue mission administration from carrying out plans already set out for success of the new government.”

According to him, the CGC is the pivot upon which the wheels of rescue mission rotate.

Okorocha said the government is on course to deliver democracy dividends to the people of the state as promised during election.

He cited the achievements of his government, which include 305 school projects ongoing in the electoral wards; 27 general hospital projects; 1000 kilometreskm of roads and dualisation of Anara-Okigwe and Airport roads in Owerri and Owerri- Orlu roads, as evidence of democratic performance.

But Plateau State Governor, Jonah David Jang, has dismissed all efforts aimed at forming any coalition against the PDP.

He described the APC as a body “full of people whose ideas are at crossroads with one another.”

The governor said PDP remained the party to beat and “the only and right Party” to take Nigeria to greater heights.

He stated this in Abuja on Thursday after he was readmitted into the party’s Board of Trustees, alongside 18 other members as permanent members..

Jang sad, “It is only PDP that will take the country to a true, reliable and virile democracy, where service delivery would be its fulcrum.”

Similarly, human rights activist and Chairman, Egalitarian Mission of Africa, Mr. Kayode Ajulo, also described the formation of the APC as a “marriage of strange bedfellows”, which would definitely fail.

Ajulo, in an interview with journalists in Akure, alleged that the interest of the promoters of the merger was not broad-based.

He said, “They were in the merger only to wrestle power from the incumbent President, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, and return it to the North.

“No merger has succeeded in the history of Nigerian politics because the past exercises were not based on ideology; they were meant to pursue a specific agenda at a particular time but fizzled away whenever it was not realisable.”

He said the fact that the current effort was not targeted at achieving a common goal made it more complicated. He, therefore, predicted that it would not last.

He recalled the proposed effort made during preparation for the last presidential election that produced Jonathan.

Ajulo said attempts made by the Congress for Political Change and the Action Congress of Nigeria failed because of individual interests.

This silly gov of imo state has been moving from one party to another like un-mourned coups.

From ADC,AD,AA,UNDP,PDP,LP,APGA and Now APC..in just 13 years of our democracy. What is the next party when the Yoruba led ACN and Boko led CPC get him burnt in the couple of months to come. I don't think he will survive it this time around.

Just what i've always maintained. Only a minute few of our politicians have/pursue ideologies, they only run after selfish dreams in their quest for power.hope rochas will remember this statement when he'll be denied the position he's been running after in APC which i believe he will be. Atiku once had regrets for his statements wen he was in ACN

Sorry, that's a lie. Don't let your sentiments cloud your common sense.
Dirtiest city in Africa... Can you even hear yourself, abi dis place na Mama Ugochi beer parlor?

I don't support his move to that party, and I am quite wary of his antics.

However, that will not make me sink to the depths of falsehood just to make him look bad, and that will not make me want to falsely attack his well performing administration.

The welfare of the state should not be yours to say if you're not a resident/indigene of Imo. It is the people who live or hail from there that should be the ones complaining; and so far, I ain't heard a word of protest from Berem, Abagworo, Rhymz, Kalunomics and the others; so do not cry more than the bereaved.

Peace bro smiley

Ejine; I stay in Lagos/PH and I come from IMO state. In between my business trips; I spend atleast 1 week every month in Owerri. Rochas is a paper Tiger and U'll see what will happen in 2015. He has performed woefully.If making promises and policies that cant be sustained is what you call performance; then he has done well. They've decieved him and want to ride on his popularity to capture the east. Igbo's are Republican by nature and won't play Tuwo or Amala politics.


Your Testimony has been confirmed by many of my Imo State colleagues in the office.




I also visited the state recently and I am yet to understand what the hype about Rochas is all about.

On a more pleasant note, work has again commenced on Owerri-Port Harcourt road (A federal Road). However, the job is being handled by 'Arab Contractors' and I dont need to tell you that it is substandard compared to the Rivers States axis of the same road being constructed by Setraco.

Come'on...lets not comment like brain-deads. How can one human being be in all those parties u mentioned within 13years? Ur comment shows the extent people can go wen they are so desperate & stup!d to discredit someone.

I live in Imo state, actually Rochas had some setbacks in his works last year ending, due to glitches with contractors & contracting pattern. He also committed some administrative blunders, caused mainly by some of his political advisers cum-sycophants.

However, early this year, most of the problems have bn resolved & work is currently going on in earnest along Orlu-Owerri Rd, Owerri, Orlu & Okigwe Mayoral Districts. For realistical indulgence, We need to be aware of Imo's total revenue (federal & internal) & their civil service strenght, if we wish to analyse Imo state's rate of infrastructural installations.

Btw, Rochas can convince South-East the need to vote for APC, if he can, through sincere project & people-oriented programmes, prove to us that PDP is the worst thing that ever befell Nigeria.
