The Governor of Imo State, Rochas
Okorocha has vowed that he would not let those who called him Boko Haram and an
Hausa man hijack the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the State.
He claimed he was called those
names when he was working with President Muhammadu Buhari and Bola Tinubu to
form the party.
Okorocha, who spoke to Vanguard
through his Special Assistant on Security, Dr. Chris Chukwuemeka Ekwueme, said
it was impossible for his opponents in the state chapter of the APC to hijack
the party and its structure which he built while they were “busy struggling for
power and positions in other political parties.”
His words, “This is a matter of
someone or some people trying to reap where they did not sow. They just came
out like a bolt out of the blues to gatecrash into our great party, the APC.
“It is obvious that they had
hidden agendas hence they joined our party just months to the election.
“These were the same set of
people who destroyed the PDP and they now want to do the same to our party by
attempting to hijack it’s structure months to the poll. Imolites are resisting
their plot and they will be defeated and put to shame.
“His Excellency is a peace lover
and a true democrat who doesn’t want or love to do things outside the ambit of
the law. He believes in the rule of law hence, he decided to take the matter to
court while the internal mechanism of the party at national level is also
looking at ways to resolve the issue.
“They wanted His Excellency to
employ crude means like they are doing by using thugs to foment trouble here
and there. They have been
indirectly trying to make the
State ungovernable but the good people of Imo know and trust their governor.
“We will pursue this course
legally and ensure that victory comes.
“It would be recalled that when
His Excellency was building our great party, these people labeled him all
manner of unprintable names.
“They said, he was not Igbo. They
claimed he was selling out Imo State to strangers. They said he was working for
Boko Haram.
“In fact, a lot was said then. But today, they
want to benefit from the efforts and sweat of the man they condemned when he
was sacrificing and spending his time, energy and money travelling and touring
the nation and overseas, holding high profile meetings and working for APC.”
Are you not an Hausa man?? Yeye governor...
ReplyDeleteYou were not originally an APC member, having won through APGA, you then decamped to APC, so the party has been there before you joined them, again, the people you are calling now are Imolites you confisticated their land, pulled down their structures and made many homeless and without land of their own. You destroyed their businesses, created untold hardship in many areas for them including transportation. Your remaining relevant in the state is an easy way for APC to be totally grounded.
