The governor of Imo State Chief Rochas Okorocha, has said that the Acting National Publicity Secretary of All Progressives Congress, APC, Mallam Lanre Issa Onilu has sent out a very bad signal to the world.
Amosun, Okorocha and Yari
Okorocha reacting to Issa Onilu statement where he described some governors of the Party’s extraction as bad losers with regard to the Party’s Primaries said castigating governors who have made the party thick right from the outset was not the proper thing to do and that Onilu had sent out a very bad signal to the world.
Okorocha in a statement signed by Sam Onwuemeodo his Chief Press Secretary to the Governor ‘We have read in the media certain statements credited to the Acting National Publicity Secretary of All Progressives Congress, APC, Mallam Lanre Issa Onilu, in which he described some governors of the Party’s extraction as bad losers with regard to the Party’s Primaries. He named Governor Okorocha as one of such bad losers, and never exercised caution in talking about the situations in the affected states.
‘As the Acting National Publicity Secretary of the Party, Mallam Onilu would have first and foremost appreciated the fact that both the National Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole and the governors are all partners in progress with regard to the fate of the Party. They are all major stakeholders who can at times disagree to agree. So, in handling issues concerning the National Chairman and the Governors, the Acting National Publicity Secretary would have struck a balance to avoid giving outsiders the impression that there is an on-going war between the Chairman and the Governors.
‘Again, castigating governors who have made the party thick right from the outset was not the proper thing to do. Someone else could do that but obviously not the Acting National Publicity Secretary of the party. Even one member is important to the party talk more sitting governors. By his approach, Mallam Onilu had sent out a very bad signal to the world.
On the issues he raised about Imo State especially concerning the governorship ticket of the Party, we only advice that he should endeavour to have the existing facts to avoid feeding the public with the wrong information, that may also cause problem in the State.
Meanwhile,
An Abuja High Court sitting at Bwari, on Tuesday, indefinitely adjourned hearing on dispute over who should be recognised as the authentic governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Imo State.

‘The National Chairman himself had cancelled all that emanated from the Ahmed Gulak led 12-member Committee and then set up another 7-member Committee led by Brigadier-General Ibrahim Agbagbiaka to Conduct the Party’s Primaries in Imo. The Committee Conducted a very transparent governorship primary that saw Uche Nwosu emerging as the winner.
‘The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Party led by Comrade Oshiomhole equally set up an Appeal Panel headed by the Former Governor of Edo State Professor Oserheimen Osunbor. Some of the aggrieved Guber Aspirants in the State came up with their petitions. At the end of the day, the Prof. Osunbor Appeal Panel affirmed that Uche Nwosu is the authentic governorship Candidate of the party, having convincingly won the primary.
‘Chief Hope Uzodinma went to Court over a primary he knew that never took place. The Court refused to grant him any order as requested but rather invited APC, INEC, etal, to come and explain why Uzodinma should not be granted the reliefs he had asked for.
‘However, Uche Nwosu had earlier been granted orders by the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory presided over by Hon. Justice V.A. Ashi restraining the Party, INEC and others, from accepting any other name as the governorship candidate of APC for Imo State except that of Uche Nwosu and also restrained them from substituting the name of Uche Nwosu. In other words, it is only Uche Nwosu who has valid Court Orders in favour of his Candidature, coupled with the report of the Prof. Osunbor Appeal Panel. But Chief Hope Uzodinma does not have any of these leverages.
‘So, in the eyes of the law and in the eyes of the APC, Uche Nwosu is the Governorship Candidate of APC for Imo State and for the 2019 election. It does not matter the sentiments that could be held by any other interested party. Truth must be told and held.
‘In the case of the National Assembly, the only worry by APC members in the State is the automatic tickets given to a Senator and three House of Representatives aspirants who claimed to have joined the party in Abuja few months ago. And these people given these automatic tickets know that they can never win election in Imo with the tickets of APC without the support of Governor Okorocha
IMO State Governor, Rochas Okorocha yesterday said that only his son-in-law, Uche Nwosu, can win Imo 2019 governorship election in the state.
‘We are also aware of all the claims and Counter-claims in Abuja by some Abuja based Politicians from the State. We are yet to know how anybody can win election in Imo on the platform of APC without Okorocha’s support. We won’t go further here. The inscription on one vehicle in Owerri is “time will tell”.
‘So, the Acting National Publicity Secretary of the party should take up the issues we have raised here and prove us wrong. Then we take off from there. The National Chairman and the governors should be encouraged to work together in the overall interest of the Party, because by 2019 the issue will be election and APC victory and not who said what and who didn’t say what.’

Nigeria politician's are just one of a kind. You want to handover the governorships seat to your son in law while you handover the first lady position you your daughter , then you yourself retire to the Senate.

something must be seriously wrong with Rochas

Rochas and his gang are HEAVY Comedians!!

Lol... So converting imo to your family business is a good signal abi.... Rochas will not kill me

Imo people Don hear am for this gay hand.

Imo people is a goal

Rocjas is really working. God why am i not a member of his family

Another Rochas's iberiberism.

If not for one thing I for disown that God forsaken state. Imolites at home should correct that mistake called APC

Nigerian State Governors are constituting themselves as autocrats, dictators,tyrants ,”
political office Makers” to the indifference of the Nigerian enlightened public.
They operate like Demi- God’s and are
really the most powerful State Governors in the whole world , negatively though with zero accountability.
Unfortunately all eyes are on the Federal Government without people tasking their State Governors,
thereby letting Governors get away with very bad,horrible actions.Governors are
supposed to be closer to the people and more impactful on their welfare.
Patriots shine your eyes ! Let us start holding our State Governors to account.
The problem is reaching alarming heights.Something has to be done if Nigeria will move forward.

Can these governors look in the mirror and judge themselves before anyone else do for them. They want to proceed to the senate house while at the same time put their immediate family member as a successor to their governorship seats. Is this right in any sense? What happens to other party members in your various state? If at all your predecessor did the same, would you guys have the opportunity you had initially.
So irritating behaviour.

This man has really messed up the whole roads in owerri; it’s frustrating to drive around owerri this days

Hope Uzodinma is popular and more stronger than Rochas himself in Imo state politics let alone the nonentity called Uche Nwosu. Emeka Ihedioha of PDP stands tall among them all. APC will fail woefully in Imo state come 2019.

So who knowz the name of the candidate that inec submitted... Cause I am confused
