Rochas Okorocha, governor of Imo
state, says he will succeed President Muhammadu Buhari.
The governor said this on Monday
when he hosted some political stakeholders at the state government house in
Owerri.
They had visited him to endorse
Uche Nwosu, his chief of staff and son-in-law, as the next governor of the
state.
Okorocha said Buhari’s
declaration for a second term is a good development and that he will win again,
just like he did in 2015”.
“Buhari will win again and again.
After Buhari, the turn will come to south-east and it will be the turn of
Okorocha,” he said.
Reacting to criticism of his
endorsement of Nwosu as his successor, the governor said his (Nwosu’s) “only
sin” is that he is my son-in-law.
He said the governorship aspirant
is better qualified than any other contender.
“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,” Okorocha said.
“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.
“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.”
