The state governor, who also double as the regional party leader, said that he will not the party for gold-diggers that are trying to ruin the good work of APC in Imo state.
Gov Okorocha revealed that the story of his alleged partnership with APGA is the work of the 10-man coalition trying to tarnish his image in the party.
He said ‘the same people who called him names have begun to market falsehood against him including the fake story of his leaving APC for APGA.
The state governor announced his decision in a press statement via his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Sam Onwuemeodo. You can read the press statement below:
“Okorocha is one of the principal founders of APC. And when he took the mainstream of APGA to join the merger that gave birth to APC, he was not under any pressure to do so. He even took that action at the risk of his second tenure.
He became the propeller of APC in Imo and the whole of South East. Mobilizing people for the party in Imo, Ebony, Abia, Enugu, and Anambra States. He was the rallying point. And he did that in the overall interest of the South-East and indeed, APC.
If Governor Okorocha did not take good percentage of APGA to APC, the party would not have had the kind of national spread it has till today. For that reason, they called him all sorts of derogatory names which Nigerians all know, including Alhaji in Government House, Okoro-Hausa, and Rochas Buhari.”
