The National Chairman of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has told the Imo State
Governor, Rochas Okorocha, that President Muhammadu Buhari has adopted the
governorship candidate of the state, Senator Hope Uzodinma.
Oshiomhole also accused Okorocha
of frustrating the APC candidate, an action he described as anti-party.
The former Edo stated governor
said that by denying Uzodinma use of the state’s stadium, the governor has
shown he is working against the party.
The former labour leader, who
spoke during the flag off of the APC campaign in Owerri, on Friday, also
accused the governor of neglecting the people of the state with his style of
governance.
He said, “Let me appreciate the
members of the National Working Committee for coming to join the governorship
candidate of our party, we approach with one simple message.
“It is a message of Hope, not a
message of lamentation. I want you to listen because for me campaign is not
about entertainment.
“Today, we have come to deliver
the message of Hope although things have gone wrong in the past.
“We have come to return the
government of Imo state to the great people of Imo state.
“We have come to tell you that we
have respect for you people. The next governor in the person of Senator Hope
Uzodimma will restore all that have been destroyed.
“Please Imo people cool temper.
Today is a day to pass a message of Hope. Today we desire to talk to the young
people especially to my fellow colleagues the civil servants.
“The days are gone for a governor
who will look at people and say there is money to do other things and not to
pay civil servants.
“I want to tell you that those
governors that were given money including the governor of Imo state that did
not use it for that purpose will be retrieved.
“Buhari has adopted Hope Uzodimma
as the governor of Imo state. I want you to go and tell people what I said.
“Nigeria needs to produce
political leaders that have political concentration.
“How will you believe that an APC
governor will lock the stadium against an APC governorship candidate?
“It is the tax payers’ money that
is used to build that stadium and not his personal money.”
