Governor Rochas Okorocha has said that he will
succeed President Muhammadu Buhari when the
position of the presidency is zoned to the
southeast.
Thecable reports that Okorocha spoke on Monday,
April 16 when he hosted some political
stakeholders at
the state government house in Owerri.
The Imo state governor expressed optimism that
like
2015, President Buhari will win the election in
2019.
He said: “Buhari will win again and again. After
Buhari, the turn will come to south-east and it will
be
the turn of Okorocha.”
On the criticism against his endorsement of Tony
Nwosu as governor of Imo, Okorocha said it was
because he was his son-in-law.
He said: “Nwosu is the least of the political
children I
have trained but I don’t know any of them as much
as I
have known Nwosu,”
“I took him up when he was just nobody and he
grew to
the height he is now, his only sin is that he is my
son-in-
law.
“Nwosu will win in 2019, don’t be afraid, I am
there, I
have retired the Arthur Nzeribes, the Udenwas,
now I
will retire the rest of them finally, I know them and
they
know me, their plan is to push me so that they can
get
the senate, it’s a lie, I will run for the senate as
well.”
This is as a chieftain of All Progressives Congress
(APC) and Okorocha’s former aide, Theodore
Ekechi,
described the process adopted by the governor to
replace himself with his son-in-law, Uche Nwosu,
in
the state as “a charade and an insult to the
integrity
and dignity of Owerri, Okigwe and Orlu
people”,vanguard report
