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.

Is this the example of change APC has been professing? APC is just a bunch of greedy and power hungry politicians. A bird at hand is better than 100 in the bush. #teamGEJ

This is where he should have laid all his eggs in the first place... did he really think he stood a chance at winning primaries talk much less of the presidential elections itself??? (When incumbent sef dey sweat!!). Maybe he was just looking for cheap popularity. Good thing the governorship is still available!!! I wish him loads of good luck!!!

Kulikuli said...

This man is the governor of Imo state. He abandons his people to hustle for presidential nomination. He failed. He quickly rushes back to Imo to pick up APC guber nomination. Right now he is also in the race to become Buhari's running mate. And while he is no longer doing his job as governor he is squandering the state money to fund this endless ambition. And did the law not say you resign before going after another job? What is this Demoncrazy for?

Cellen said...

Is that even legal? I guess the son in law going for the primaries was a backup plan incase his dad in law doesn't succeed in the presidential primaries

Anonymous said...

This summarizes it all. This guys are just looking for power by all means. how can governing a state become a family affair like this. I tell you if I am from Imo state, I'll vote this guys out of office. I'm highly disappointed at this act. It is selfish and barbaric. Is this how APC want to rule Nigeria? God help us!

Shameless! Imo State is in trouble.

Owelle Okorocha did not go for the Presidency election to win..... He wants to increase his popularity... Was thinking he will step down like he usually does in the days of BABA but i was wrong... He has a game plan and that's why hes an intelligent crook.... I like him and will still vote for him..

I know Uche personally and i knew he was never going to contest bcos pple would have found out his real origins! He is actually an Ikwerre man from Rivers State who has no business vying for governorship position all the way in IMO state... Nigerian politics is pure rubbish.

Anonymous said...

U can imagine uche nwosu as gov of imo state, he will just resemble a moron. As for rochas he really needs to visit a psychologist because his brain is vibrating

Anonymous said...

Imo state has turned into family business. Imagine asking his son-in-law to hold the position of governor for him incase he loses the presidential primaries like its some toy they are holding. Why not give the chance to someone else, God help us.
