Members of the Imo State All Progressives Congress (APC) Coalition Alliance
have expressed shock over the
nullification of the state congresses by a Federal High Court sitting in
Owerri.
A statement on Friday signed by spokesman of the Imo APC Coalition Alliance,
Dr. TOE Ekechi said that the group would fight the emperor (Governor Okorocha)
plotting third term in Office through his son-in-law.
They also announced that the judgment would be appealed very soon.
The statement read in part: “Like many Nigerians, particularly Imolites we
wish to express our surprise and deep shock over the Federal High Court
judgment of Thursday, July 5, 2018 which nullified the 2018 Ward Congress of
our great party, APC in Imo State.
“We are evaluating the ramifications of the judgment in the context of the
experiences at the National Convention and the report of the National
Convention Appeal Panel before issuing a detailed statement. For certain
however, is our resolve to appeal the judgment so that truth, equity and
justice may prevail.
“We thank all true and progressive members of our party, Imolites and indeed
Nigerians, home and in the diaspora for their solidarity and grave concerns for
Imo State in the hands of an Emperor.
“We have never been in any illusion that we are fighting for justice against
a desperate, ruthless and sitting Governor with uncontrolled access to state
funds to sponsor an unholy, selfish 3rd term agenda.
“Inspite of this slight set back we hereby assure them that the dream of
Governor Rochas Okorocha succeeding himself in a third term through the proxy
of his son-in-law will not be realized.”
