Uche Nwosu
While speaking at Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport Owerri,
shortly after his arrival from Abuja, Imo State Governor’s Chief of
Staff, Uche Nwosu on Tuesday, expressed confidence that he would emerge
the next governor of the state on the platform of Action Alliance (AA).
According to PUNCH Metro, Nwosu said that “injustice, impunity, and
lack of respect for party’s constitution” forced him out of All
Progressives Congress (APC).
Clutching the Action Alliance flag with the state chairman of the
party beside him, Nwosu said that the entire APC structure, except those
supporting the senatorial ambition of Governor Rochas Okorocha, had
defected to AA.
He described AA as a party with the ideal democratic manifesto,
adding that his ambition to succeed Okorocha was driven by the massive
support he enjoys by the over 70 percent population of the state
electorate.
Nwosu who spoke further, said that AA will cooperate with APC to
have President Muhammadu Buhari reelected, and to also have his father
in-law, Okorocha, elected as senator; and him as governor on the
platform of Action Alliance.
He said; “We are going to work with APC to deliver Imo State to
President Muhammadu Buhari. We will deliver Governor Rochas Okorocha as
senator because Action Alliance has no senatorial candidate in Orlu
zone.
“I have no problem with President Muhammadu Buhari. My headache
is the National Chairman of APC. It is a divine project and we are
ready for the election. It is inter-party marriage between AA and APC in
Imo State.
“We will work with APC to deliver President Muhammadu Buhari, Governor Rochas Okorocha, myself and all our candidates.”
He said that his resolve to defect to Action Alliance was to ensure
that he respect the wish of the youths of the state who were projecting
his governorship ambition.
