Many Nigerians would have heard by now about the ward congress of the Imo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) that went down last Saturday, much to the dissatisfaction of incumbent governor Rochas Okorocha.  What many people may not know is what was at the root of the controversy in which one group claimed victory in the congress, while the governor's camp screamed blue murder, as their principal dashed to Abuja to seek the intervention of the leader of the party and president, Muhammadu Buhari.

The congress is where all officials for each of the 300 plus wards in the state are elected.  These officials are crucial for the primaries in the next few weeks to choose the party's candidate for the governorship. At the root of the crisis is Okorocha's plan to be replaced at Government House, Owerri by his son-in-law Uche Nwosu.
