At last, Imo State Governor, Chief Rochas Okorocha, yesterday announced the movement of his son-in-law, Mr. Uche Nwosu, other aides and members of the State House of Assembly from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Democratic People’s Party (DPP).

Okorocha, who spoke with journalists at the Government House, Owerri, however, promised to work for the victory of Nwosu as the next governor of the state in 2019 even as he remained in the APC as its candidate for Orlu Senatorial District.

He also accused the APC governorship candidate in the state, Senator Hope Uzodinma, of duping the deputy governor, Mr. Eze Madumere, former Secretary to the State Government, Mr. George Eche, and his predecessor, Mr. Jude Ejiogu, from the governorship ticket.

According to him, what happened in APC primaries in many states presents interesting scenario as the party he said is known for justice, equity and fairness has been dented by the National Chairman, Mr. Adams Oshiomhole.

He said, “What happened in Imo was a clear case of injustice, where Uche Nwosu won the primary and was robbed of the ticket. This injustice must be addressed. However, in spite of the fact that my aides are leaving the party, I am still a member of APC and will not leave the party.

“I tried to persuade them not to leave, but they have made up their minds. I have done what I can to make them remain in the party, they disobeyed me. I don’t have any moral justification to stop them.
“President Buhari is not behind the injustice done by the party in the state but Oshiomhole is solely responsible for all the injustice meted to my people in Imo State.

For me, I am still a member of APC. Buhari still remains my candidate and I will support him.”

Okorocha maintained that Imo people did not play politics of party but politics of individual, revealing that the people’s interest in APC was by his own making.
He contended that among the various governorship candidates in the state, his son-in-law, Nwosu, remained the best and vowed to support him to fulfill his governorship ambition.

The governor stated that most of his aides who were presumed to have betrayed him never did so, but were given fake hopes, adding, “They were deceived into believing an illusion. This is a scam played out by Senator Hope Uzodinma after all the efforts they put up in making Uzodinma the governorship candidate; he now realized that they cannot be trusted with any position, including that of his running mate. This is the game behind the game.”

Nwosu had contested the APC governorship primary election in the state but lost out to Uzodinma, sparking off a wave of protest from Okorocha that has culminated in yesterday’s defection of his associates.

Nwosu was led to the slaughter house by Okoro, sadly, his political career in Imo State is dead and buried because Imo never forgets.

Okorocha is still in APC but will work for his son in law in another party. Isn't this the highest level of self deceit? Well, I'm sure EFCC will come after him now over corruption as usual.

If I were the party chairman, I would have withdrawn the sponsorship of his senatorial ticket and then suspend him from the party immediately. The kind of party system they run in Nigeria isn't found anywhere in the world

Only okorocha left now lol

APC is gone from the SE.



Ekene dili chukwu

Let the drama continue

Okorocha should be expelled from APC for abti party activities!

If APC win Imo or even rig Imo next year, make I quit nairaland.

APC is done for in SE.

Still he'll not smell that seat

So we can say APC should kiss Imo state goodbye?

Still he'll not smell that seat

Both DPP and APC will be doing this wen either APGA or PDP will claim Imo State.


The natural party of SE and SS is either PDP or APGA.


No room for APC, unless through rigging as was the case in Imo.

He's just fighting a lost battle so should get ready for his probe very soon

It is very much expected.

Must you do politics? your tricks have failed and there is nothing you can do, but i have never seen uzless set of politicians like the ones we have now from president to the least. The last thing i will do in this country is politics. im tired pls, even this guy is also tired and has since stopped talking.

If the party favours them they all say all good things when it doesn't favour them they cross carpet. No political ideology. Majority of naija politicians are just in politics for their self*sh reasons and not for good governance to serve the populace.Jah pls direct our leaders right.
