Governor Uzodinma: Okorocha Denies Alliance With Ihedioha

Former Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, has refuted allegations he is in an alliance to sack Governor Hope Uzodinma.

The Director-General of Imo State’s All Progressive Congress (APC) Media Centre, Cajetan Duke made the allegation; adding that Okorocha was in alliance with the immediate past governor, Emeka Ihedioha to impeach Governor Uzodinma.

According to Duke, Uche Nwosu, Okorocha’s son-in-law is also responsible for a suit challenging the victory of Governor Uzodinma by claiming to have been validly nominated by the APC as its 2019 governorship candidate.

The APC chieftain claimed Nwosu was asking the court to declare the candidate of PDP, Ihedioha as the governor of the state.

“This has really confirmed that Okorocha and his in-law are indeed selfish,” Duke was quoted to have said.

In a statement released by Okorocha’s media officer, the Senator representing Imo West denied any such alliance with Ihedioha to sack Governor Uzodinma.

He said: “To say the least, Okorocha is not in alliance with Ihedioha for removing Governor Uzodinma or for any other reason. Those behind the story should stop making mockery of the APC or the State.

“Senator Rochas Okorocha cannot destroy what he had laboured to build at the risk of his political career.

“He planted the seed of APC in Imo, nurtured it to maturity and it has continued to bear fruits.

“Those who have benefited from this vision only need to appreciate and acknowledge who God used to make it possible.”

He also added that Nwosu is not in any court over the 2019 governorship election.
