Governor Rochas Okorocha |
Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State and his son-in-law, Uche Nwosu, have again lost some die-hard followers in the state.
This is as some bigwigs of the “Agburu Anyi” faction of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, led by Governor Okorocha, have left the
group.
Engr. Nshirim, a former Commissioner for Information and Strategy,
who is among the latest exodus from Okorocha’s camp, told Vanguard that
he left Okorocha because it was wrong for the governor’s group to oppose
party directives.
“I don’t see how I will continue opposing party positions and directives.
“The party is supreme and since the group was not prepared to respect
legitimate instructions and party leadership, I had to quietly withdraw
from the group.
“Those that share my views, have equally left the group and either
returned to APC or pitched their tents in other parties,” he said.
Also speaking on the matter, the National Organising Secretary of the
APC, Chief Emmanuel Ibediro, who also left Okorocha recently, said that
he was not comfortable with the way some members of the Okorocha group
not only resolved to work against the party, but that they also joined
Action Alliance, AA.
Okorocha’s son-in-law, Nwosu is the governorship flagbearer of the AA in Imo State.
Ibediro added, “The APC is not in alliance with AA and those playing
double deal by attending meetings of both parties, are simply causing
confusion. You cannot serve two masters at the same time.”
Recall that before now, Prince Eze Madumere, Sir Jude Agbaso, Chief
Martin Agbaso and the two former secretaries to the Government of Imo
State, Sir Jude Ejiogu and Sir George Eche, have abandoned the Okorocha
faction.
Other APC chieftains such as Dr. Theodore Ekechi, Chief Charles
Chalvon Amadi, Prince Marcellinus Nlemigbo, Engr. Obinna Nshirim, Ichie
Best Mbanaso, Chima Anozie, Kingsley Ononuju, Rex Anunobi,Chief Vitalis
Orikeze Ajumbe, Senator Ifeanyi Araraume and his son, Ifeanyi Araraume
(Jnr), as well as Senator Hope Uzodinma have since abandoned the
Governor.
