National Chairman of the United Progressive Party (UPP), Chief Chekwas Okorie has described the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and the newly registered All Progressive Congress (APC) as one and the same in ideology and purpose.

Okorie stated this in Owerri during a news conference marking the end of a three-day sensitization visit of the entire party leadership to Imo state.

Alluding to their policy thrusts and geopolitical bias, Okorie averred that, “PDP and APC are tenants in Igboland and their tenancies have since expired.”

According to the UPP founder, both parties are largely populated by those so called leaders who brought Nigeria to its knees and have kept Nigeria down through all the previous political dispensations till date.

Continuing Okorie said, “They have nothing new to tell us. They both have limitless supply of funds and operate like secret cults with no respect for democratic tenets and the rule of law. We can tell you right away the Presidential candidates of the PDP and APC, but no such thing is possible of the UPP. While UPP is a coalition of progressive forces, PDP and APC are coalitions of reactionaries. But I can assure you that Nigerians are wiser and would retire most of these political liabilities parading as leaders today.”

He described UPP as the most formidable platform to address all minority interests in Nigeria, especially against the ruling majority oppressing the minority. He also averred that the UPP embodies the original vision and soul of the Igbo nation.

Reacting to Governor Rochas Okorocha’s sojourn in APC, the UPP Chairman illustrated thus: “This is like a house built by somebody for himself. In this case, some Yorubas and a handful of Hausa Fulani’s with bloated ambitions built a house for themselves. And now you take a negligible portion of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) and join the APC through the backdoor and you think owners of the house would give you a master bedroom. It is either he thinks Igbos are fools or he is just a fool himself. Time shall come when we shall subject every Igbo politician to a DNA test to ascertain his Igboness.”

Chekwas Okorie also noted that 2015 will be a year of political surprises, saying that anyone who thinks that power will not change hands at the presidency or that the Lagos state government cannot be taken over by another party, should think again.

The bolded part is nothing but the truth...... But APC can still prove those who thought otherwise wrong.

It is no longer a news that Roches father is from Taraba. Chekwas has just confirmed it. The north used their own among us, but we will not be part of it. An average SEner sees anything yurubas and aboki in it as a taboo. There is no way yuruba and hausa party can fly in the East of the Niger

Wait ooo, can anybody convince or confuse me into joining a party that will make my future and destiny subject to Tinubu and Buhari ratification? .God forbid.
