As the race to succeed Imo State
Governor, Rochas Okorocha gathers momentum, his brother-in-law, Mr. Chuks
Ololo, has declared interest to run in the 2019 governorship election in the
State.
Ololo, a board member of the
Federal Institute of Industrial Research (FIIRO), Oshodi, is married to Ogechi,
Okorocha’s younger sister, who is the Commissioner for Happiness and Purpose
Fulfillment.
The development means Okorocha
now has two in-laws seeking to take over from him.
Uche Nwosu, the incumbent Chief
of Staff who is married to Okorocha’s first daughter is also in the contest.
Okorocha had reportedly asked
Ololo to forget his ambition, insisting he had already endorsed Nwosu.
But Daily Trust, however, quoted
Ololo, in Owerri, as saying he was in the race, and that his mission to govern
Imo State was divine.
Uche Nwosu recently rubbished
claims that he had suspended his governorship aspiration, following pressures
by the opposition.
In a statement, the former
Commissioner of Lands in the state noted that contrary to insinuations, his
ambition has been strengthened by the activities of the opposition.
He warned that cheap blackmail
and propaganda can’t stop his ambition.
