Elechi
- The stakeholders say they have overwhelming
evidences against Okorocha

they have rescued the state
The stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress
(APC) in Imo have declared that they have made
Governor Rochas Okorocha politically irrelevant
in their determination to rescue the party from
imminent collapse in the state.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Theo
Ekechi, who spoke to newsmen after a closed-
door meeting with the APC national leadership
on Thursday, May 17, in Abuja, said the
stakeholders had overwhelming evidences
against Okorocha.
Ekechi said he had made it impossible for the
governor to get attention from any quarter in the
state and in the South-East region.

“There have been wide jubilation in Imo because we have
rescued the party from Governor Okorocha, we have made
it impossible for him to get help from anywhere.
“He cannot run to any political figure in the state because
none is with him, he cannot approach any clergyman in the
state.
“In his desperation, he ran to Sokoto, Daura and even to the
vice president, but help has refused to come,” he said.
Ekechi further said Rochas’s inaction was
responsible for the problems facing the party in
the state and the South-East generally.
In a petition submitted to the party’s national
leadership, the stakeholders detailed what they
described as the governor’s sins and appealed
for state of emergency in the state.
Ekechi called on the party’s national chairman to
bring to the notice of President Muhammadu
Buhari the crisis in Imo before it completely gets
out of hand.


He alleged that the state was being mis- managed
under Okorocha, adding that the governor was
running the state like a personal estate.
He also alleged that the governor was harassing
and intimidating perceived opponents in the
state.

archbishop of Owerri Ecclesiastical Diocese, Imo
state, Reverend Anthony JV Obinna , condemned
Governor Rochas Okorocha’s endorsement of his
son-in-law, Uche Nwosu, to succeed him in 2019.
This Day reports that the cleric at the weekend
during his speech on the celebration of the
Easter at the Maria Assumpta Cathedral, Owerri,
said Okorocha was planning to extend his tenure
to third term by trying to impose his son in-law
as governor of Imo state.
Adegokblog.com also reported that Reverend Geoffrey
Okorafor, the bishop of the Anglican Diocese of
Egbu, Imo, said that Governor Rochas Okorocha
had not only failed God, but has also
disappointed the people of the state.
