Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State on Thursday told his Kano State counterpart Abdullahi Ganduje as well as Senator Godswill Akpabio that the crisis in the All Progressives Congress, APC in his state \u201chas gone beyond what we can manage\u201d.<\/p>\n
Okorocha, who spoke in Owerri when the APC reconciliation committee headed by Ganduje visited Imo, said, \u201cAdams Oshiomhole singlehandedly meted grave injustice to Imo APC members.\u201d<\/p>\n
He regretted that despite helping to make Oshiomhole the national chairman of the party, the ex-Edo State governor \u201cstole the mandate of Imo people\u201d.<\/p>\n
He said despite the provocation he would remain in the party and ensure that President Muhammadu Buhari wins next year\u2019s presidential election.<\/p>\n
The governor said \u201cThere shouldn\u2019t have been crisis in the party, because of the affinity of the members. We are like one big family. When we came in 2011 it was a miracle. The who is who in Imo politics were against us but we won that election. We moved from APGA to the APC because of the name of Buhari, which is synonymous with integrity. I am a foundation member of the APC. I suggested the name APC.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose Oshiomhole gave the tickets were not APC members, the worst political injustice in the history of Nigeria happened in Imo.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet me make bold to say that this is not about the people here but those across the breadth of the state, the name you hear is Uche Nwosu. Against all speculation that I am leaving the APC is not true, all the state and local government executives are intact. We have done everything to resolve the issue but it appears to have gone beyond repair. The situation at hand has gone beyond what we can manage.\u201d<\/p>\n
The APC governorship candidate in the state, Hope Uzodinma and Okorocha\u2019s son-in-law, who is laying claim to the ticket, Uche Nwosu, were absent from the meeting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
