Theodore Ekechi, Governor Rochas
Okorocha’s former commissioner, who is now the spokesperson of the Imo State
All Progressives Party, APC, stakeholders in the state has told the governor
that the emergence of former Edo State governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole as
the next national chairman of the party will not help to restore his (Okorocha’s)
ascendancy in the party.
Ekechi said that going by the
constitution of the party, no national chairman, no officer of the party or a
member has the powers to upturn the Congress that has been rectified by the
National Working Committee, NWC.
Speaking with Vanguard, Elechi
said Oshiomole as the national chairman was not coming with changes to the
constitution of APC. He said he was coming as a friend among equals.
He added, “And Oshiomhole is not
coming with the NWC, appointed by himself; he is going to come as a person he
cannot do anything outside the National Working Committee, meeting and taking
decisions.
“What I’m asking is that is your
group afraid? There are procedures for taking decisions that have been taken as
enshrined in the constitution of APC. Therefore, we have nothing to worry
about.
“Since he thinks he is the holder
of Oshiomole, he is the father of Oshiomole, the sponsor of Oshiomole, why is
he bothered gallivanting from one state to another.
"And anybody who is
contemplating to do that does not mean good for the party. What is your feeling
on Oshiomole’s possible emergence as the national chairman of the party?
“Assuming Oshiomole becomes, he is coming to
build. He is coming to consolidate. And I think Oshiomole having been governor
of Edo State for eight years, Oshiomole understands what it means to respect
people’s rights, people’s opinion, and I think it is not in his own interest to
dabble into people’s affairs in Imo State.”
