Rochas Okorocha, governor of Imo
state, says “God is in support” of the governorship ambition of Uche Nwosu, his
son-in-law.
The governor has endorsed Nwosu,
who is his current chief of staff, as his successor.
In a statement on Sunday,
Okorocha said 24 out of the 37 local government areas in the state have also
backed Nwosu on his governorship ambition.
Okorocha described him as a
“quintessential gentleman, an embodiment of decency and the guy to beat” in the
forthcoming governorship election.
The statement, issued by Sam
Onwuemeodo, his chief press secretary, read: “We say this for posterity sake.
Imo people, including youths, students, men and women have thrown their
unalloyed support behind the youthful chief of staff, Uche Nwosu, for the 2019
governorship in the state.
“He has become the subject matter
as long as that issue is concerned, with APC officials and leaders from 24 out
of the 27 local governments in the state having already endorsed him for the
2019 Imo guber.”
Okorocha added that allegations
that the chief of staff was behind an assault on A.J.V. Obinna, Catholic
archbishop of Owerri, is untrue.
“Seeing Uche Nwosu as the guy to
beat in the 2019 election, they now think that there is no other way to stop
him than through unwarranted blackmail,” he said.
The governor is currently at
loggerheads with Eze Madumere, the deputy governor of the state, who is also
eyeing the governorship position.
You are a thief, you want to use him to cover your mess
