More facts have continued to emerge on the
shocking disappointment and ill treatment melted to the Leader of APC in South
East, the IMO State Governor, Rochas Okorocha who doubles as the Chairman, APC
Governors Forum.
There were reports that some APC electoral
officers earlier posted to IMO state for the conduct of May 5th APC Ward
Congress were forth night short changed and swapped with those of Anambra
leaving the State Chairman of APC and his members
stranded without the notice and consent of the State Governor.
Political Analysts says Gov. Okorocha deserves
every ill treatment melted to him in the just concluded Imo APC Ward Congress
for having openly withdrawn his support for due process, fairness and equity in
the party in the past by single handedly endorsing and handpicking choice
Aspirants against others without exhausting Internal Primary process.
Recall that Gov. Rochas Okorocha had in a well
attended meeting of Stakeholders of IMO APC held on Friday 27th April 2018 at
IICC Owerri announced his personal endorsement of President Muhammadu Buhari
reelection bid. Others also anointed by Gov. Okorocha in the meeting were, Uche
Nwosu for Governor, Rochas Okorocha for Orlu Senate, Nnamdi Obiareri for Okigwe
Senate, Emma Ojinere for Owerri Senate, Pascal Obi for Ideato Federal House,
Nnanna Igbokwe for Ahiazu/Ezinihitte Federal House etc.
Political watchers says Gov. Okorocha purported
endorsement of Aspirants without following through primaries is
unconstitutional and it therefore requires unconstitutional methods to stop him
from achieving his selfish goals.
This, many political followers believe is the
root cause of Gov. Rochas Okorocha disappointment in the just concluded ward
Congress where Electoral Officers were asked to conduct election without
sensitive materials. Perhaps, Sen. Ben Uwajimogu who is the Secretary APC 2018
Convention Planning Committee might have been flexing some muscles against some
unequipped local fighters angling to continue championing the reign of impunity
and imposition in IMO APC.
Following the fall out of Gov. Rochas Okorocha in
the May 5th APC Ward Congress, it is believed that the Ideato Born Governor
will now be heading to another unpopular political party in coming weeks to
test run his declining popularity ahead of 2019 general elections like he did
in 2011 when he used unpopular APGA to dismantle the incumbent government
without the support and backings of big names in IMO politics
