APGA Chairman Tackles Gov Okorocha Over $2m Bribery allegation by chibecanglobal(m): 7:24am On Aug 01, 2014
UMUAHIA — CHIEF Victor Umeh,
National Chairman of All Progressives
Grand Alliance, APGA, has denied
receiving $2 million from Imo State
governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha,
for the latter to be accepted back to
the party.
Umeh, who spoke shortly after
commissioning Abia State office of
the party, said he was not a
politician to be purchased with
money, noting that Governor
Okorocha had been swallowed by his
misadventure of leaving APGA in the
first place.
He alleged that the governor had
been sending emissaries to him to
be allowed back to the party, a
request he said was not possible.
Speaking on the $2 million bribery
allegation, Umeh said: “Such things
cannot be touted with my name any
more. I have proved myself in
Nigerian politics as somebody who
can’t be purchased by anybody, no
matter how much money you have.
“I am so focused and concerned on
the affairs of this party and Igbo
people and if you want to achieve
that, you will not allow money to
influence you.
“All the people who had contested
elections in the party, nobody can
say he bribed me. I don’t behave
like that.
“As for Okorocha, he has been
swallowed by his misadventure and
it is normal that he will be saying
anything. Of course, he has been
sending people to me that he will
like to return, but you see him
quickly refuting it.
“I said no, you did not behave well,
we can’t entrust him with APGA
again to do anything.
“If Imo people want him, it should
be through APGA. I am very certain
that they have rejected him, that is
why he is running back to APGA to
see if he can clean himself up. Let
him stay.
“We have capable people that can
rescue Imo State. He said he is on a
rescue mission, but rather he
imprisoned Imo State. We have
capable people in Imo who will
rescue Imo people, people with true
Igbo spirit that is lacking in him.
“He is not somebody you can
describe as a proud Igbo man. I
know what we did to give Imo
people governor through APGA so
that Imo State will help Anambra
State to get the rest of South East
together for the good of our people.”
“After that strenuous effort, he threw
it away and joined foreigners. So
what are we going to do with him
again? If you are in my position as
chairman of APGA, what will you do,
nothing.
“We are making very serious effort to
win the election, and I am sure that
we are going to win. We will win
back Imo State and we shall hold
him accountable for his misdeeds.”

Cheap propaganda by Umeh. Rochas was in APGA, then defected to APC. Chief Umeh and APGA took him to court for abandoning a party that brought him to power by asking the court to declare his defection illegal and maybe possibly lose his seat. So now my question is this; if Rochas wants to go back to APGA, does he need to bribe chief Umeh for acceptance? The answer is NO. because chief and APGA will be happy to have him Rochas, back in their fold. So this news is not just true.

mistake,that

the
same mistake again come 2015.

Warmly welcomed and good advice to Pdp sympathizers who see development as a curse and embrace thieves as their saviour.

Bros!!!

You don't understand this game!!! Taking him to court is APGA trying to keep power of incumbency within the party. Doesn't mean APGA needs Rochas

The leader of APGA is Chief Martin Agbaso!!!!

And Mark my words, APGA can never accept Rochas back!!! for the sake of their credibility and goodwill amongst the people
