Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha, has
assured the supporters of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) that his Chief of Staff, Uche
Nwosu has what it takes to win the 2019
governorship election.
The Imo governor disclosed that his support for
Nwosu’s governorship ambition is not for any
personal gain but but the conviction that he will
make a good governor, judging by his
acceptability, which he said cuts across the
three zones of the state.
Okorocha who spoke when political leaders,
women and youth groups, as well as traditional
rulers came to endorse Nwosu at the
Government House, said that he would want to
hand over to a governor that will discriminate
against any zone but will see the entire state as
one deserving of equal attention.
He assured that Nwosu will win the 2019
governorship election, irrespective of the
objections of the political ‘bigwigs’, adding that
the power to elect a governor resides with the
people and not few political elites and
godfathers, adding that, “I have no doubt that
Nwosu will win the governorship election
considering his pedigree and humble
background” .
According to the governor, “Nwosu has learnt the
ropes and is better qualified than any other
aspirant. Nwosu is the least of the political
children I have trained but I don’t know any of
them as much as I have known Nwosu, I took
him up when he was just nobody and he grew to
the height he is now, his only sin is that he is my
son-in-law, how about the Njemanze’s, the
Bishops from Egbu, they occupy every position in
Egbu without considering who and where they
came from”
He continued that, “Nwosu will win in 2019,
don’t be afraid , I am there, I have retired the
Arthur Nzeribes, the Udenwas, now I will retire
the rest of them finally, I know them and they
know me, their plan is to push me so that they
can get the Senate, it’s a lie, i will run for the
Senate as well”.
Speaking on President Muhammadu Buhari’s
declaration for a second term, Governor
Okorocha assured that “he will win again, just
like he did in 2015”.
He said, “Buhari will win again and again, after
Buhari, the turn will come to South East and it
will be the turn of Okorocha”
