Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo
State has called on the National working Committee of the All Progressives
Congress, led by Mr. Adams Oshiomhole, to submit the name of his son in-law,
Mr, Uche Nwosu, to the Independent National Electoral Commission as the winner
of the APC governorship primaries in the state.
Okorocha made the appeal in a
statement obtained by the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, on Monday.
Okorocha said upholding Nwosu’s
candidacy will “protect the high integrity of President Muhammadu Buhari and
the integrity of the Party.”
He added that Nwosu remained the
“only hope” for the state, stressing that the candidates of other parties would
spell doom for the state.
“For some time now, I have been
in Abuja fighting for the soul of Imo State from possible kidnap and subsequent
destruction by political thieves.
“The only hope left for Imo State
now is for Uche Nwosu to emerge as a candidate. Otherwise, there will be total
economic catastrophe when I leave as governor.
“Though they have spoken falsely
and badly about our candidate, nobody can say that he was a fraudster in Lagos
or that he was an armed robber in Benin or an arrogant man or a criminal.
“They have actually nothing to
say about him except that he is my son-in-law,” the release read.
