The All Progressives Congress,
APC, governorship candidate for the March 9 election in Imo State, Hope
Uzodinma, has berated the state governor, Rochas Okorocha over what he termed
the governor’s failed attempt to destroy the party in the state and the
South-East.
Uzodinma said nemesis has already
caught up with Okorocha as he can no longer walk freely on the streets of Owerri,
the state capital.
In a statement signed by the
publicity secretary of the APC in Imo State, Chief Enyinna Onuegbu, yesterday,
Uzodinma described Okorocha as a wolf in a sheep’s clothing who in his failed
attempt to destroy APC has been running from pillar to post to redeem his
image.
The statement reads: “The
clearest evidence of this sabotage was on live television when the result of
Ideato local government area (Okorocha’s home LGA) was declared as more than
70,000 in favour of AA which created a stalemate and was later reduced to
40,000 in a most funny manner. The question to ask is: what was the basis for
reducing the result at a LGA Collation Centre?
“Okorocha had brazenly continued
to work against the APC and this manifested on the governorship election day in
the state when having realised that I was cruising to victory, the governor
quickly moblised thugs dressed in military and police uniforms to snatch ballot
boxes to manipulate scores in favour of the PDP candidate when it became
apparent that his anointed son-in-law will not make it. It was at this point
that they falsified the scores for PDP and AA.
“Prior to that, the governor used
the same thugs dressed in military and police uniforms to forcibly chase away
APC polling agents at the various polling units and fielded those of the AA.”
Uzodinma stated that the governor
was simply reaping the fruits of his anti-party activities and that “instead of
accepting his fate, he is busy looking for whom to latch on as a drowning man”.
