Rochas Okorocha, Imo state governor, does not appear willing
to drop the gauntlet yet in his battle with his political foes in the
state and the South East in general, warning that any political war in
the zone by the All Progressives Congress (APC), without him as the
head, was bound to fail.
The contention from the governor’s camp,
was conveyed by Kemdi Ekwuaba and Moris Ikediashi, both of the
Concerned APC South East Stakeholders, a group sympathetic to the
governor, while distancing themselves from the endorsement of the
National Organising Secretary of the party, Senator Osita Izunaso
returning to his position.
A statement signed by the duo, read:
“We want to state that Governor Rochas Okorocha has become the new face
of Imo and South-East politics. The All Progressives Congress, APC and
its leadership as the ruling party should be celebrating success and not
failure.”
“The reported meeting of APC leaders from South-East
during which they donated or shared offices zoned to the zone to some
people without reference to Governor Rochas Okorocha, the only APC
governor in the South-East, is dubious.
“It is unfortunate that
instead of using Governor Okorocha to ensure that APC wins more states
in the South-East, the enemies of the party within the party are even
working to bring down the party in Imo and also working against the
party’s chances in other South-East states. Trying now to undermine
Rochas Okorocha in the State or in the South-East is not in the best
interest of the party.”
