Outgoing Governor of Imo State,
Rochas Okorocha, has claimed that the National Chairman of the ruling All
Progressives Congress, APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, once sent his DSS detail
to insult him.
Okorocha said he had gone to
interact with his party Chairman about issues relating to happenings in the
party when he (Oshiomhole) sent his DSS personnel to push him out of his
office.
Speaking in an interview with
Vanguard, Okorocha said the incident happened in the presence of the APC
governorship candidate in Akwa Ibom State, Ekere Nsima.
The Governor, however, said he
was not considering leaving the ruling party, at least for now.
Asked if he still feel
comfortable in the APC, Okorocha, whose son-in-law, Uche Nwosu joined the
Action Alliance, AA, prior to the general elections, said: “I am APC. I have
never thought of leaving the party for now and I have no reason because I won
under the platform of APC.
“Where will I go to? I have to be
in the APC, I formed the APC.”
Asked if he was stranded, he
added: “I am not stranded, I remain in APC and I have not indicated that I’m
going to leave APC. Remember that the intention of these people is to frustrate
me out of politics and out of APC so that they can have a field of play. But
all I advise today is that let no institution or organization allow themselves
to be used as an instrument to destroy somebody politically, who has committed
no offence.”
On what he will do if by chance
he meets Oshiomhole today, Gov. Okorocha said: “We will chat as usual. What will
I do to him? The last time I saw Oshiomhole was when I went to his office and
he sent his SSS man to insult me in his office, before the governorship
candidate of Akwa Ibom, the NDDC guy, Obong Nsima Ekere, who also reacted
against the gentleman.
“An SSS was pushing me out as a
governor from his office. So, I’ve taken enough insults from Oshiomhole and all
those that are planning this evil.”
