Okechukwu spoke on the
heels of Gov Okorocha’s disagreement with the outcome of the congresses held
in Imo last month.
Due to the decision of
ward, local and state congresses of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Imo,
Osita Okechukwu, Director-General, Voice of Nigeria (VON) and a chieftain of
the party has advised Gov Rochas Okorocha to leave the party if he so desires.
He told newsmen at the APC
national secretariat in Abuja on Monday that the APC would win the 2019
elections without Okorocha.
According to him, the
actions and inactions of Okorocha have caused the APC more setbacks in the last
four years in Imo and the South-East in general.
He said recent development
that made the governor to lose at the party´s just concluded congresses was a
grand plan to reposition APC toward winning elections in the South-East.
“At least there are more
than 60 political parties now. Okorocha is free to join any one of his choice,
though, we are not forcing him to leave.
“What we are saying is that
we have taken the leadership out of his hands because he is playing God; so,
what I am saying is that he is at liberty to leave APC.
“But let nobody anywhere
think that the APC will lose because we have retrieved the party from him. Mr
president is going to get more votes, we are going to win more parliamentary
seats, more governorship seats without him,” he said.
He noted that over 90 per
cent of the leadership and membership of the APC in the South-East were against
Okorocha and his style of governance.
