PRESS RELEASE

GOVERNOR ROCHAS OKOROCHA ORDERS FOR THE ARRAIGNMENT OF MEMBERS OF THE CONGRESS COMMITTEE ARRESTED OVER THE MISSING SENSITIVE MATERIALS FOR IMO APC WARD CONGRESS

- ALSO CHARGES THE CP TO ENSURE THE ARREST & PROSECUTION OF MR INI OKORI WHO WAS AT THE CENTRE OF THE STORY OF THE MISSING MATERIALS

Following the missing of the Sensitive materials for the Saturday, May 5, 2018 Ward Congresses of All Progressives Congress, APC, in the State, the governor and Chief Security Officer of the State, Owelle Rochas Okorocha has directed the Commissioner of Police in the State, Mr. Chris Ezike to charge members of the Congress Committee arrested in connection with the missing materials to Court without delay preferably on Monday, May 7, 2018.

The governor also charged the Police in the State to set every machinery in motion for the arrest and prosecution of the man at the Centre of the ugly incident, Mr. Ini Okori, who escaped at the residence of the National Organizing Secretary of APC, Chief Osita Izunaso.

The governor equally expressed regret over the dishonourable role of Senator Izunaso who was not able to divorce his local and personal Political interests or pursuits from his official responsibilities as the National Organizing Secretary of a National Party like APC.

The governor noted that if not that he played his role as a governor and as a father, to manage the situation, the unfortunate role of these people would have thrown the State into a very big crisis which nobody would have been in a position to imagine its outcome.

He remarked that, for the Organizing Secretary of the Party Chief Izunaso to be arguing with Mr. Ini, originally sent for the conduct of the Congresses, over who among themselves, was in custody of the Congress sensitive materials in question was quite despicable. And it showed they never wanted the Congress to be successful abinitio.

It is also important to point out here that those who never believed that APC had prospect at the initial stage and who called Governor Rochas Okorocha all sorts of names including Alhaji in Government House and Okoro-Hausa must not be allowed to disturb the peace of APC in the State.

The governor reiterated his appeal to members of the Party in the State to remain calm and ensure peace and assured that the anomalies would be corrected and the Ward Congress in the State, will hold accordingly.

You lost it

members calling for the arrest of fellow members over ordinary ward elections. Indeed this is the party to take Nigerians to 'greater heights'.

Now I know that rochas is a desperate, mad, power drunk clown. Imagine ordering the arrest of your fellow party members tufiakwa. This man is shameless

When he was erecting statues all over the state. He refused to realize that imo people will retaliate
I just wonder how somebody will belong to this dirty party and continue to flaunt it.

Rochas this is just testing the micro phone, in 2019, a greater shock awaits you. Adibedila hue ihuru gila akpokeshi, ahue g'la futawa afutawa.

Let them continue please.
Our prayers are working

The thing tire me. What happened to filing a law suit and contesting results ?

Nawaoo! In the name of politics.

I wonder when we will understand what Democracy truly is.
Okorocha the betrayal, why ranting? What you sow, you reap.

Accept your fate

I love this

May the camp of the wicked turn on each other and may confusion reign supreme in the mids of those who brought, death, untold hardship, sorrow and suffering to Nigerians till their final burial in 2019 in Jesus Christ name.

jjj

What is wrong with this man? Political posts in Nigeria always make monsters out of those who humbly begged for votes. He was busy erecting idols, our hungry brethren took it with maturity. He levied all adults with threats to punish any igwe that the adults in his domain refused to pay. Our jobless brethren humbly remained mute. Not because they cannot fight, but they know how to avoid engaging an insane man in a show of shame. But now, he is desperate to impose his In law on the people, even his own party members are saying NO...now he is angry. Is he the custodian of democracy the state? If a goat is pushed to the wall, it becomes desperate enough to to fight back.

Okorohausa is not happy that the congress that took place didn't favour him and his family and he ran to daura to complain to his master about it buh it seems that his master didn't talk in his favour with that anger boiling in his mind like hot water boiling he came back to arrest the officials

Imo State govt is not a family business so Mr hausa go and seat � ur ass down biko or else yahaya bello of kogi state will better than u

Lol. Just relax, because come 2019 when you see result you may also need to arrest electorate.

There is a popular adage in Igbo land that says"the death of a dog no dey allow m hear the smell of shit"okorocha is a drowning boat looking for who to drown with him

Idiot, Is this the outcome of your meeting with the dullard?

Igbo nonsense

Zombie governor

Hmmm.

A lot of ignorant people here.

This is politics and his opponents have played their cards in the best possible way they can.

But nobody should underestimate the power and influence of an incumbent Governor who is very close to the President.

In Nigeria only a President is more powerful and influential than a Governor.

Especially when it has to do with the internal politics of his party.

Those guys including Ararume and the Deputy Governor who hijacked the materials and put their people will lose out eventually.

Rochas will surely have the last laugh.

Rochas is very loyal to Buhari and Osinbajo, and who does not know that the Presidency would favour Rochas to be in full control of the states delegates?

Anybody who is a politician here would understand what i mean.

Before the end of the week Rochas will have his way.

It's a no brainer!

Them don dey break, one by one

With the sham congress held across Nigeria by apc, I agree with wike completely. This will send a clear statement dt enough of thuggery

Okorocha has now become a dictator like GMB now PMB. Haba
