– Reaffirms Commitment To Party
The former Governor of Imo State and immediate past Governor for Imo West Senatorial zone, Owelle Rochas Okorocha has refuted a statement credited to him in different social media platforms.
The former Governor in a release issued by his Special Adviser on Media, Sam Onwuemeodo said the false and derogatory statement about the All Progressive Congress APC, is the handiwork of desperate and mischievous politicians who are jittery of his political clout, consistently rising profile and mass acceptance nationwide.
He also said that those suffering from Okorocha’s phobia have not relented in their paranoid induced antics almost 8 years after the former Governor left office.
“Okorocha would not have said that, a party that has been in government at the federal level since 2015, and this is 2025, and still counting, “is no longer a political party and desperate to hijack power”. Which power again?.
In case these pursuers of Okorocha have forgotten, in the merger that gave birth to APC, he was the only sitting governor from the South East in the merger. And at the risk of his re-election in 2015. He took that political risk when the key players in the South East never believed it would work.
Against the backdrop of that development, he was called all sorts of ugly or derogatory names. Just for being in the merger that brought APC to life. And those who came into APC through “Congratulatory messages”, have been using blackmail and propaganda to eclipse the known truth about Okorocha and the APC.
It should be recalled too that, owing to Okorocha’s avowed dedication and commitment to APC and its ideals, he was elected by his fellow APC governors, as the pioneer Chairman of the PROGRESSIVE GOVERNORS FORUM. And he never left any stone unturned. He made the forum very thick.
And for those who know Okorocha and his modus operandi, if he had had any reason to talk about APC either in the positive or otherwise, it wouldn’t have been in one badly or poorly written sentence, on social media . Okorocha does not play hide and seek in his politics. His brand or kind of politics is exemplary. Worthy of emulation. And the good politics would continue. The reason we won’t be hard on those behind this cock and bull story.
Okorocha, as one of the founding fathers of APC, would remain committed to its well-being or success . He remains a bonafide member. He didn’t make the statement that was credited to him by those who envy him and his politics. Those concerned about his popularity and several years after leaving office as Governor and as a Senator, respectively.
We humbly wish to appeal to the general public to disregard the fake story and even subsequent ones, because, from all indications, those doing this, are not done yet. But the good thing is that, they have been pursuing someone who is not pursuing them. The implication is that, Okorocha would always be sided by equity and history”.
And for those who know Okorocha and his modus operandi, if he had had any reason to talk about APC either in the positive or otherwise, it wouldn’t have been in one badly or poorly written sentence, on social media . Okorocha does not play hide and seek in his politics. His brand or kind of politics is exemplary. Worthy of emulation. And the good politics would continue.
