Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo
has warned the Director-General of the Voice of Nigeria (VON), Mr. Osita
Okechukwu, to stop casting aspersion on his personality.
Okorocha alleged that Okechukwu
had continued his media attacks on him saying “even when one had thought that
with the 2019 elections over, he should have stopped his insults having seen
that the election had proved that without him (Okorocha) there was nothing like
All Progressives Congress (APC) in the South-East in general and Imo in
particular.”
Okorocha was reacting to media
reports in which Okechukwu accused him of ruining the APC in South-east.
A statement signed by his Chief
Press Secretary, Sam Onwuemeodo, said that Okorocha had toured the whole of
South-East when nobody believed that APC was going to see the light of the day
and succeeded in winning the governorship for the party in Imo, 24 out of the
27 members of the House of Representatives, one Senate and five House of
Representatives seats for the party.
“But prior to the 2019 election those playing the politics of 2023 in 2019 recruited men like Osita Okechukwu against Governor Okorocha, blackmailing him at the least opportunity they had and gave the erroneous impression that without Okorocha, they could fly in Imo and South-East generally with APC.
“But in the 2019 election, the
fact spoke for itself, that Okorocha truly holds the ace of APC both in Imo and
in the South-East generally. And a careful look at the 2019 election results
showed that Okorocha was in charge except that with the crisis men like
Okechukwu created in Imo APC, INEC capitalized on that and I did some strange
things,” the statement reads in part.
The governor alleged that
Okechukwu lost all the elections for the party in his polling booth, ward and
local government.
Okorocha however challenged
Okechukwu to publish the results of his booth, ward and local government in all
the elections.
“He does not talk about APC in
his state, but always talking about Imo APC because he knows, that is the only
state in the South-East APC is grounded before they used wicked blackmail and
unfounded propaganda to inject virus into the party,” he added.
