IMO GOVERNOR, ROCHAS OKOROCHA SAYS HIS SON-INLAW’S CANDIDACY WILL PROTECT PRSIDENT BUHARI’S INTEGRITY
Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha has stated that, his son-in-law, Uche Nwosu’s candidacy under the flagship of the party will protect the integrity of President Muhammadu Buhari and that of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Okorocha made this statement while calling on the National working Committee of the party, led by Mr. Adams Oshiomhole, to submit the name of his son in-law, Mr, Uche Nwosu, to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, as the winner of the APC governorship primaries in the state.
He added that Nwosu remained the “only hope” for the state, stressing that the candidates of other parties would spell doom for the state.
“For some time now, I have been in Abuja fighting for the soul of Imo State from possible kidnap and subsequent destruction by political thieves.
“The only hope left for Imo State now is for Uche Nwosu to emerge as a candidate. Otherwise, there will be total economic catastrophe when I leave as governor.
“Though they have spoken falsely and badly about our candidate, nobody can say that he was a fraudster in Lagos or that he was an armed robber in Benin or an arrogant man or a criminal.
“They have actually nothing to say about him except that he is my son-in-law,” the release read.
