Imo state Governor, Rochas Okorocha, has accused the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole of deceiving him and the party in the state when he supposedly cancelled the October 1 governorship primary in the state and set up a new one.<\/p>\n
Reacting to the announcement of the submission of the name of Senator Hope Uzodinma as the party\u2019s candidate for the 2019 governorship election in Imo state, he said that he did not know that Oshiomhole was acting a script; maintaining that his son-in-law, Uche Nwosu remained the party\u2019s candidate for the 2019 governorship election in the state.<\/p>\n
The governor, in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Sam Onwuemeodo, said that without regard to the submission of Senator Hope Uzodinma\u2019s name as the party\u2019s flag bearer, the fate of Ugwumba Uche Nwosu with regard to his governorship aspiration is not and can never be in the hand of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole and not even in the hand of Governor Rochas Okorocha but in the hand of God first and Imo people.<\/p>\n
Okorocha was also angered that Oshiomhole could ignore the report of Prof. Osunbor\u2019s Appeal Panel that declared Uche Nwosu as the candidate of APC in the state saying it was an indication that the Comrade had ab initio made up his mind on Hope Uzodinma.<\/p>\n
According to him, \u201cWith all that Adams Oshiomhole had said and done, he had shown that disbanding Ahmed Gulak\u2019s committee, cancelling all that emanated from that committee and setting up the Brigadier-General Ibrahim Agbabiaka committee for the conduct of fresh pin the state were all deceitful. We will now work to know whether such deceit would destroy all that the duly and properly constituted Agbabiaka\u2019s committee did.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOshiomhole has only shown that he was the brain behind the film a man like Ahmed Gulak acted in Owerri as the leader of the 12-Member committee sent to conduct the APC Primaries in the state. And it is unfortunate that the National Chairman could encourage Gulak to flew Owerri by 4:30am to avoid carrying out the assignment he was sent to Owerri to do.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, steps would be taken to prove that deceits do not pay. We won\u2019t allow these deceits just go like that without having them challenged. And if the National Chairman of APC had monitored Owerri since he announced Uzodinma as his preferred candidate, he would have appreciated the enormous implication of his faulty action,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
While carpeting Oshiomhole for accusing him of trying to build a political dynasty, Okorocha said, \u201cOshiomhole in his efforts to justify all he has done had accused Governor Rochas Okorocha of trying to build a Political dynasty. And the only reason he gave for coming up with such blackmail is that Governor Okorocha wants to go to the Senate and his in-law Uche Nwosu wants to be governor. He never explained how Okorocha being in the Senate and Nwosu being governor would constitute a dynasty.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
