Gibson Achonu, Owerri

Ahead of the 2019 general elections in the country, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress and a former member of the House of Representatives (Owerri Federal Constituency), Mr. Uche Onyeagocha, has raised the alarm that Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha, is plotting to make his son-in-law who also doubles as his Chief of Staff, Uche Nwosu, his successor.

Onyeagocha, who is also a human rights lawyer, said it was the reason Okorocha had floated the Ugwumba Movement and appointed Uche Nwosu to run it.



Onyeagocha dismissed Okorocha’s arguments that “at no time in the history of the state did any party abdicate its governorship ticket to any zone without a contest from other zones,” recalling that in 2015, the APC zoned its governorship ticket to Orlu zone, with nobody from Okigwe or Owerri zone contesting for it.

“In fact, the ticket was preserved precisely for Okorocha family; when he went out to contest for the presidency, his son-in-law held the governorship ticket in waiting for him, not because there was no credible person from other zones but it was done in good faith,” Onyeagocha said.

Insisting on the “principle of Imo charter of equity” which rotates the governorship seat among the three zones of Owerri, Orlu and Okigwe, Onyeagocha said the people of Imo State, comprising Orlu, Okigwe and Owerri, were united and irrevocably resolved that Uche Nwosu will not succeed his father-in-law.

“We therefore respectfully urge His Excellency Owelle Rochas Anayo Okorocha to discountenance any advice in this direction as nothing but the handiwork of undertakers, enemies and mischief makers who have set out to rubbish his political career.

“We also urge him to focus on his presidential ambition in the interest of Nd’Igbo,” Onyeagocha counselled.

Lol.

As far as Eastern politics is concerned,Rochas Okorocha can never do any wrong,so i trust his judgement.

Make i take cover first.

Nepotism exists in all parts of this country! Na their way!

No be the same Imo state wey Okorocha give him son in-law, Uche Nwosu, to hold on to the APC state primary ticket till he comes back from Abuja, after losing the presidential primary in 2014!

Nah monarchy?

This is evidently bad. Well this is where and when I expect owerri pple to strongly vote against the okorochas. Cis I knw if abt 90% of the pple say no, then rigging will become almost impossible

This is why I keep "angitating" on Nairaland

We Igbos are our own greatest enemies

Nepotism and favoritism are killing us in igboland more than Fulani herdsmen

An igbo man would rather give opportunities to someone close to him rather than a competent personnel. My people are just too greedy

Why can't we be like our Afonja masters and Nothern tormentors?

This same Okorocha bought 500 Toyota cars for the urban taxi project and not a single side mirror from Innoson motors

This same Okorocha spent 600 million naira on a Christmas tree and left our pensioners in Imo state to die of hunger

We Igbos keep making noise about how united we are, but we're really divided.

It's the same way Ojukwu led our mothers and fathers into slaughter, but fled to Ivory Coast when we needed him most

We have to realise our Afonja masters don't care about us and it's why they've made our Nothern tormentors their allies

Let us take cue from our Afonja masters and Nothern tormentors

May Chukwu Okike Abiama continue to bless us

Iseeeeeeeee

IPOB Youth!

Never
They want all the money to circulate in their families
