Imo 2019: Why my son-in-law must succeed me – Okorocha insists

Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, has insisted that he made no mistake by endorsing his Chief of Staff to the Government House and son-in-law, Uche Nwosu as his successor.

Governor Okorocha said this following a statement credited to him denying his endorsement of Nwosu.

“We have read in the media, especially on the social media, a statement falsely credited to Governor Okorocha, that he has not endorsed Chief Uche Nwosu but, rather, considering three people, including Nwosu, Prince Eze Madumere and Chike Okafor.

“That is not true. If there was any atom of truth in that claim, it wouldn’t have been a side-talk.

“The governor endorsed Chief Nwosu and gave more than 20 reasons for doing so, in addition to the man’s endorsement by students, women, youth groups and 24 out of the 27 local governments in the state.

“We have been telling those who called to disregard that statement and continue to work and pray for Nwosu.

“Like we said in one of our media outings to that effect, the opposition in Imo is desperate and extremely worried because they are yet to see any aspirant who can beat Nwosu, either in the primary or in the main election. They are stranded.

“Also, endorsements have been going on across the states, but, in Imo, Nwosu’s endorsement is the one being celebrated and talked about.

“The issue of endorsement has been part of the nation’s politics.

“There is nothing strange about it. It does not replace party primary or the INEC organised election.

“Nwosu will win the APC governorship primary and the election proper because human beings are involved in the two activities and not blackmail,” he said.
