I think this allegation is too weighty but EFCC won't act since the man involved is the chairman of APC governor's forum

What will you use as evidence? Money didn't change hands but was offered, so the money is still missing.

why okorocha is so desperate to install his son-inlaw as the next governor leaves more to be desired.


in okorocha's desperation he failed to realise that imo state is not lagos state that is under the dictatorship of one greedy old man.
If you in Owerri, you would know better. I am happy someone can reject bribe unlike PDP that's cash and carry. We shall get there. PMP till 2023.

Tunisian street vendor Mohammed Bouazizi out of desperation of living inn the edge set himself on fire in December 2010, became the symbol of the suffering of all Tunisians. Bouazizi's death led to the overthrow of Tunisian dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. The Tunisian uprising, in turn, led to the Arab Spring movement that ultimately toppled regimes in Egypt and Libya.

Ahmed Gulak was former Political Adviser to former President Goodluck Jonathan. The chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) was the Chairman of the Imo State governorship primaries of the party which produced Senator Hope Uzodinma as the governorship candidate of the party. In this interview with TEMIDAYO AKINSUYI, he speaks on the controversy that trailed the exercise. Excerpts:

From all indication, Senator Hope Uzodinma is now the governorship candidate of the party in Imo State meaning the report of your panel was upheld by the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party, what is your take on that?

I will say without any iota of doubt that the NWC vindicated my stand. One, I did not appoint myself and other members of the panel. The NWC approved our appointment, myself as the chairman and returning officer and six other members including the Secretary making us seven as enshrined in the guideline. We went to Imo against all odds, we stood our ground, elections held, results collated and the winner announced. We came back. In fact after the collation, I and few others escaped because the governor himself came to arrest everybody in the hotel but before he arrived, about four of us escaped and he arrested other members including the Secretary. He took them to Government House and they read a prepared speech declaring his son-in-law as the winner of that exercise. But I have already left Owerri for Abuja where I submitted my result. As I speak today, there is no single petition against our report and against the result. Let us not forget, Okorocha’s in-law was not the only aspirant, Hope Uzodinma was not the only aspirant. They were other seven aspirants including the Deputy Governor of Imo state. All the other aspirants, nine of them, there is no single petition against the conduct of the election.

And if there were grievances against the conduct of that election, the party has an appeal panel that petition ought to have been lodged. The Appeal Panel will recommend whether or not a fresh primary will be conducted, that did not happen. As we speak in accordance with the constitution and the guidelines, the result submitted by my committee, signed by me is the authentic unchallenged report and the NWC have no option but to uphold that report. I feel vindicated, the members of my committee feel vindicated. The issue of Governor Rochas Okorocha going round blackmailing the party, threatening the party is not the best for a governor. He is supposed to be a statesman.

This is his party, I understand very well that he is the senatorial candidate of his party in Orlu, so he should not weaken the party from within. He should call everybody; all hands must be on deck to ensure that the party retains the state.

Why do you think he failed in his bid to install his son-in-law, Uche Nwosu as his successor?

Well I don’t know Imo people very well. But I know that whoever Governor Okorocha wants to push forward, decency demands that he should do so in consultation with the stakeholders of that state. Even if he wants to put his son-in-law, his daughter or his wife, he ought to have consulted the stakeholders, no one man can do this game of politics. Everybody must be carried along, I feel maybe because he did not consult the stakeholders before pushing his son in-law as the person to succeed him, and naturally, people will revolt and if he has his way to impose his son in-law on the party, what of the general election, can he impose? At the end of the day the people of Imo state will decide who they will vote as governor. Don’t forget it is not a one party system, we have more than 85 political parties with candidates. And in Imo state I have it on good authority that we have about 10 or 11 political parties fielding candidates as governors. I know that if you impose your son-in-law as successor; don’t forget that that it is the Imo people who will decide who the next governor will be. And I also have it on good authority that immediately they learnt that the NWC has upheld the result of the Imo primaries, the other candidates subsumed their ambition in the interest of Imo state to support Hope Uzodinma. As party men, we should all be happy about that too. That is politics without selfishness. Okorocha has spent eight years as governor of Imo state, you want your son-in-law to succeed you, you want to come to the senate as a senator, you want your wife to be a House of Reps member, you want your junior brother to be running mate, you want your son in-law to be deputy governor, that itself is indecent, it is immoral and the people of Imo state may not take it likely. They are not slaves; you cannot enslave them by making it a personal family dynasty. This is a well-educated state, well enlightened state where we have professors in almost every family. We have business men, industrialists, these people have stake in Imo state. So I know they will not lie low when Okorocha begin to enslave them. He has gone on air every day to abuse me, maligning me but i have decided to keep calm because it is an internal family matter but i urge him to be a better party man. Abusing me every day on television and Newspapers will not help him, he should go and work for the victory of his party and leave me alone.

You said you escaped death and was almost kidnapped in Imo can you tell us what happened?

Naturally, even before I went to Imo State, I was offered a private jet to take me to Imo state by Imo Government House and their proxies but I refused because I don’t want to be compromised. I refused the private jet and even the tempting offer made to me, very tempting, we are talking about two million dollars here, which I refused. Although, I tried to persuade them that I am going to do what is needful, free and fair primaries. Every stakeholder must be involved. Immediately we landed at the airport, that was where the problem started. They wanted to kidnap every member and only God knows where they wanted to take us to, which I refused. And to say the least, I pity the Imo people but they have to take their destiny in their own hands and elect who they feel will represent them better. I am not from Imo state but I am a Nigerian. There is equality and there is equity. Some of our governors, I am sorry to say this, they take state resources as their personal resources and we know that power is transient. After four or eight years you are out of power and the system will get you. But having said that, I am happy that the party has vindicated me and I know it is the best decision for the people of Imo state.

The same manner gov. Okorocha FAILED in pushing his son-in-law to succeed him without consulting his Imo APC colleagues;

it's the same manner that gov Okorocha shall FAIL in his bid to represent Orlu zone in the next Senate.
Gov. Okorocha took Orlu zone as foot mat for eight years.

Imagine: gov Rochas Okorocha suffocated the University teaching hospital and international market in Orlu;
dismantled the Sam Okwaraji Stadium completed by his predecessors in Orlu;
but built a new stadium with floodlights, all round seats and synthetic turf in Okigwe.

Okorocha as governor did not establish any meaningful development infrastructure in Orlu zone, he only built his private university in his Ideato South hometown, with roads leading to it right from Owerri.

Okorocha must be thinking that Buhari govt shall force him upon Orlu zone as Senator.

Was Tinubu pushing forward his family members in Lagos state? As a matter of fact he supports candidates that are unpopular prior to their coming out...
He pushes forward folks who will forever remain loyal to him as governors and help him loot the state. It is the same thing. And his wife goes unchallenged in d senate race.

Since Ambode didn't do well for Lagosians and we want to push out Buhari, can we push out APC as a whole?

Same thing u said abt Ambode till the fallout btw them and then u started claiming its because Ambode didn't do his biddings. Same Tinubu had issues with fasola yet u claim he pushes forward those that will remain loyal to him...And is there anyone in life that will support someone that will turn against him?
