The outgoing Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha, has expressed bitter disappointment and regret for supporting his former Edo State counterpart, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole that led to his emergence as the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Okorocha said the national chairman, whom he christened “Oshi and Ole” is a man of bad faith, who has shown unreliable character.
“My finishing as governor is not a full-stop. It is a comma because after every comma, a sentence will follow. Those who are afraid of me politically have ganged up to fight me; including the person I supported to become the national chairman. That is why they brought Hope Uzodinma. He is not running for any election, but was only recruited to fight me in my Orlu zone,” Okorocha noted, as he flagged off his campaign as the Imo West APC senatorial candidate at the Orlu Township Stadium.
He challenged his rival in the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Senator Osita Izunaso, to list what he achieved when he served the zone for four years.
“I am also running for the Senate election to attract a lot of things for Orlu people. You have seen what I have done as a governor. When I go to the Senate, there will be a massive difference. Nzeribe, Izunaso and Uzodinma had wasted the position for years, as there is no project they can boast of in Orlu zone. They were only interested in their pockets,” the governor said.
“Please, ask Osita Izunaso what he has been able to attract to Orlu zone for the four years he spent in the House of Representatives and four years he spent as a senator, not even a bungalow was attracted to Orlu zone. So, he should go and sit down.
