The Governorship candidate of the
Action Alliance (AA) in Imo State during the last general elections, Uche
Nwosu, and his supporters have returned to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Nwosu, the son-in-law of the
immediate past Governor of the state, Chief Rochas Okorocha, addressed newsmen
at the Imo Airport shortly after his arrival from Abuja, Sunday.
Nwosu, who left the APC after
failing to obtain the party’s sole ticket for the election, maintained that the
Supreme Court, which voided his petition for double nomination, has actually
affirmed that he is still a member of the APC.
“The Supreme Court has said it
all; it said I am the candidate of APC, what it means is that I’m the candidate
of APC even though another person was foisted on APC.
“That aside, I have forgiven
everybody, no matter what they have done; from the National Chairman to Gulak
and to those in the state. What we need is to move ahead. We are brothers and
sisters, there must be peace.
“You can only have one governor
in a state and you can only have one final court and that is the Supreme Court.
We have to accept it. For me, politics is not a do or die affair. It’s
give-and-take. The Supreme Court has given its judgment, either good or bad, I
have accepted it.
“What matters is Imo State. I’ve
said in my statement, whoever wins at the Supreme Court, I will give my
support, be it Emeka Ihedioha, Araraume or Uzodinma, I will support but in
supporting, if you do well, I will praise, if you don’t, we would criticise
you.
“I have no regret at all. It’s
not my first time of running for a political position. I’m a politician and
town planner by profession.
“For now, politics is over
pending when there would be another election. I’m still a young man with age to
my advantage.”
