Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo
State has taken exception to the remark of the Acting Publicity Secretary of
the All Progressives Congress, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, who described him as a
bad loser in politics.
Issa-Onilu, had in a statement on
Thursday, described some APC governors including Okorocha as bad losers in
respect of the governorship primaries of the party.
A statement issued in Owerri on
Saturday, by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Sam Onwuemeodo
explained that Okorocha, contrary to what Issa-Onilu would want people to
believe and other governors, are working for the progress of the party with the
National Chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole.
The governor observed that
disagreements with the party leadership were bound to arise and advised the
National Publicity Secretary on the need to exercise caution in order not to
create a wrong impression.
Okorocha warned against
castigating governors, who worked for the party from the onset, insisting that
Issa-Onilu misfired by doing so and had sent a bad signal to the world.
Okorocha however, advised
Issa-Onilu to acquaint himself with proper information on the Imo APC case to
avoid feeding the public with falsehood that might snowball into a
conflagration.
He recalled that Oshiomhole
cancelled the results of the primary conducted by Ahmed Gulak-led committee and
set up a new committee headed by Ibrahim Agbabiaka, which conducted a fresh
primary.
According to the governor, “the
governorship primary conducted by the Agbabiaka- led committee threw up Uche
Nwosu as the APC candidate in the state”.
