Information reaching the PoliticsNGR news desk on Wednesday reveals that Chief of Staff and In-law to Governor Rochas Okorocha, Uche Nwosu has dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC for the Democratic Peoples' party, DPP.

Nwosu alongside Okorocha's aides and members of the state house of assembly defected on Tuesday. This development is arising from the refusal of the APC to field Nwosu as the party's Gubernatorial aspirant in the upcoming state governorship elections.

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.

Lol

Someone needs to tell Gov. Rochas the truth and hope he listens..... Its not just about the party, it's also about the individuals involved.. Imolites are tired of him and to even make matters worse, his party also got tired of him when he tried to impose his in law.

I don't know those that have been fooling him making him think he's still loved by Imolites...

Even If he - Rochas, should re-contest, he'd lose massively.

The earlier he realise¶ his political career is over the better....

What does this matter??

Been waiting for this news.

Political Ashawooooo!!! Huuuuuuui!!

Finally uche has dumped apc buh still he'll not be elected as imo governor because imo state is not a family biznes.

Its official the finally got chased out after okorocha chest beating of they will never leave APC for new comers. Man pass man. Hope sef.

Uche Nwosu is still a goner even in the DPP. Onye iberibe.

The strategy is to contest under the new party platform, win the election and then decamp back to his parent PARTY APC.

No godfatherism in IMO. Where it exists in Abia, see how the State is plagued by bad leadership.
