The dwindling political fortune of Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha has further taken a downward slope as the All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA, in the state has declared him an unwanted fellow in the party.
The party said the governor who dumped the party some years ago and described it as a social club cannot be admitted back into it, advising him stay in his party and lick his wounds.
This was disclosed in a press statement signed by the chief Press Secretary to one of the frontline gubernatorial Hopefuls in the party – Barr Uche Onyeagucha.
Barr Onyeagucha condemned what he described as clandestine moves by the governor to join the party after being humiliated by his party, APC, in the just concluded ward Congress.
According to him, his move was motivated by his desire to perpetuate his third term agenda by foisting his son-in-law, Uche Nwosu on the state.
“We are aware that since last week now, Governor Okorocha who was humiliated in the ward Congresses of his party by the allied forces of APC coalition in the state has been making surreptitious moves through the leadership of the party to defect to APGA to enable him perpetuate his third term agenda. We have stated this severally that Governor Okorocha is in self succeeding mission to rule the state to perpetuity to enable him to continue to loot the state dry. Now, we have been vindicated.
“This battle-for-survival and last minute scheming of Governor Okorocha to join APGA has indeed confirmed the level of his desperation towards making his son-inlaw the next Governor of the state. This is a man who rose to political limelight as governor of the state through the platform of APGA and later dump the party for his egocentric interest.
“Today, Governor Okorocha is approaching the same party he dumped and had on several occasions described as a social club and NGO that has no capacity to win elections.
“Also, it was the same Governor Okorocha who had on several occasions admonished Imolites not to identify with any party that is not at the center. Today, he is turning back negotiating to join the same party he said has no capacity of winning elections. Such a chameleonic lifestyle is highly repulsive”, the statement read.
The erstwhile House of Representatives member also advised Governor Okorocha to apologies to Imolites for “the atrocities he has committed against the people of the state”.
He further revealed that, no party would want to have the governor in their fold now, because, “his presence will bring a colossal failure to the party”.
