Gov. Okorocha picks Imo APC Governorship ticket after losing presidential

A few hours after losing his presidential ticket, Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha picked the governorship ticket of the APC in absentia. He's now the flagbearer of APC in Imo state after his son in law Uche Nwosu, the Commissioner for Lands and Urban Planning, stepped down.

Uche Nwosu had initially been adopted as the governorship candidate for Imo State, a position he reportedly accepted to keep for his father-in-law in case he didn't win the presidential ticket. Nwosu announced his withdrawal yesterday following Okorocha's loss at the APC convention.

It is very glaring in our bare eyes that Gov. Rochas Okorocha is desperate for power and lacks vision to lead the good people of Imo, there's no remarkable development going on in the state and he's busy gallivanting for the office of the president. it's just a pity that the state is in the hands of people who leadership inspiration with no sense of reality (richyojadi@gmail.com)

Unknown said...

It is no news that the Governor of Imo State, Owelle Rochas Okorocha lost out at the APC presidential primaries that saw the emergence of General Mohammadu Buhari as the party's presidential flag bearer. But what is new is the fact that less than 24 hours after losing, he has gone ahead to pick the governorship ticket of the party for a second term. In other words, he had the ticket in his pocket as a fall back.

Funny though, the son-in-law who was earlier elected by delegates has withdrawn from the race. Is it not obvious that the governor is just a confused man? Playing with the intelligence of the good people of Imo State. It is now obvious that he really had no intentions of being a president but was just out to make a mockery of the process. I call on all sons and daughters of Imo State to vote him out come 2015. We must all collectively fight for a New Imo State.

At least we know how he will play if he becomes the president... Nigerian Govt will turn to family business. Son-in-law stepping down for father-in-law.
How many uncles and nephews do we have in the State Government.
A clear display of greed. I hope his people of that state can see.

Imagine the dirty crooked politicking happening in Imo State.
Picking up the presidential ticket should disqualify him from contesting for governorship elections except if stated otherwise in the constitutions. Anyway what do i know, trust Imosians.
