Why Okorocha Is Free To Leave APC - Osita Okechukwu, VON DG by 14Ebiscoo(op): 12:40am On Jun 05, 2018
The Director-General of the Voice of Nigeria, Mr Osita Okechukwu, has said the Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, is free to have the All Progressives Congress.

Okechukwu said this while responding to questions from newsmen at the National Secretariat of the APC, in Abuja, on Monday.

However, one of the conveners of the APC Restoration Coalition in Imo State, Dr. Toe Ekechi, said the VON DG was merely expressing a personal opinion.

Ekechi noted that Okorocha, for now, remained the governor of Imo State and that his support and contribution would be welcome should he decide to continue to support the APC.

Earlier, Okechukwu said the APC was now better positioned to make a greater impact on the South-East with or without the governor.

He expressed confidence that the APC would consolidate on its power come 2019 by winning seats at the executive and legislative levels in state and at the federal levels.

Okechukwu said, “At least, there are more than 60 political parties now, Okorocha is free to join any of his choice. Though we are not forcing him to leave, what we are saying is we have taken the leadership out of his hands because he was playing God.

“He was personalising power, so the majority of the leadership and membership of the APC in the South-East said, ‘thank you, so far so good enough is enough.’

“So, what I am just saying is that he was at liberty to leave the APC but let nobody anywhere think that the APC will lose because we have retrieved the party from him. No, the APC is the winner as a political party.

“Mr President is going to get more votes; we are going to win more parliamentary seats, more governorship seats without him.

“In my place, there is a saying that when a bird is dancing on the main road it means there is a drummer in the bush and I am pointing at the drummer of all that is happening in the South-East. But luckily, the majority, over 90 per cent of the leadership and membership of the APC in the South-East has said enough is enough to our former leader, Owelle Rochas Okorocha.”

Imo people would choose any of the statues molded by Okorocha over him.

Okorocha was such a promising young man until he became proud of someone his people detest.

If you are occupying an elective position, make sure you talk what your electorate are talking about. Don't do eye service just to win interest of someone who is not stable. They can never be trusted to help in your trying times.

But mtnd44, its good to patronize bloggers sometimes. But make sure the news is genuine before choosing which to block. Don't want to waste my first post on false news.

This is the end for APC in Imo state grin... But Madumere should understand that he can never win APC Governorship primaries in APC with the likes of Die Hards like Ararume and Uzodinma there. I cannot wait to see more disintegration after APC Primaries grin grin



I Will Vote PDP Senator Samuel Anyanwu for Governor



I Will Vote APC TOE For Federal House of Rep (Aboh Mbaise/ Ngor-Okpala federal Constituency)

"Though we are not forcing him to leave, what we are saying is we have taken the leadership out of his hands because he was playing God."

What has this country turned into? is the DG of VON not a public servant?
Is a public servant supposed to interfere in public issues?

To make things worse, he is the DG of a news platform, how is he supposed to deliver fair news when he is already opinionated?

Owelle please leave the party for us and go to any other mushroom party, you can't force your in law on the party, your deputy governor doesn't have a political value according to you, but now he has shown you how politics is being played.

Okorocha wanted to turn himself to a godfather unfortunately for him,that will not be accepted in the kind of environment he finds himself.He would probably have succeeded in other regions of the country

Okorocha is Esau, he sold his people for a plate of porridge now he doesn't even have anyone as backbone. He thought PMB could save him.

Re: Why Okorocha Is Free To Leave APC - Osita Okechukwu, VON DG by tuoyoojo(m): 9:40am On Jun 05, 2018
looking at the rancour and anarchy that trailed almost all apc Congresses that held

I am forced to imagine how it would be when the main election holds

as for rochas, it is evident that his political career has ended. he would be dead weight to any party he joins

it is appalling that most politicians do not have an political ideology, jumping upadan from one party to another if their selfish interest is not met

Re: Why Okorocha Is Free To Leave APC - Osita Okechukwu, VON DG by tesppidd: 9:47am On Jun 05, 2018
Wow,

I hereby swallow my words

I was one of those people who never imagined this could ever happen to Okorocha, considering his closeness to Buhari.
Visiting him all the time he was sick and all that.

This goes to show Buhari is not a very good politician, more of a principled man.

Just like he refused to pull his weight behind his preferred Ahmed Lawan and maintained neutrality until Saraki took the SP.

However the real crisis in imo APc is yet to start as I do not see how all of those big wigs and big egos who got together to wrestle and humble Okorocha would settle for a consensus candidate for the governorship.

The deputy Maduere is on a long thing thinking that the APC ticket is his property.
