Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, yesterday insisted that the
absence of President Muhammadu Buhari or Acting President Yemi Osinbajo,
cannot stop the All Progressives Congress (APC), from holding its
national convention.
Okorocha, who is also APC Governors’ Forum Chairman, spoke after he
led his colleagues to a meeting with the Acting President Yemi Osinbajo
at the Presidential Villa.
He explained that the party was trying to resolve other issues, before they can announce a date for the convention.
“We came to discuss issues relating to our party and our government and how to move our party forware
“We discussed a lot of issues on how to move the party forward, how
to strengthen the party and how to make sure our party remains
victorious in all elections. Very soon we will have a convention. That
is part of the things we are discussing.
“The convention not taking place has nothing to do with the absence
of the President or the Acting President. We are just putting our house
in order and making sure things are in the right form before we kick
off,” Okorocha said.
The Governor also dismissed the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as no threat to APC.
Okorocha said: “PDP is a non issue; we don’t even care about that. We
defeated them when they were in power, so what is different when we are
now in power?”
