The former Imo State Governor now Senator Representing Imo West Senatorial District, Senator Rochas Okorocha has described Gov
Hope Uzodinma as a man generous with falsehood, urging him to tell the public how the APC Registration and Revalidation exercise was carried out in Imo.
Okoroch said this in a statement by his Special Adviser Media,Sam Onwuemeodo in Owerri on Saturday.
Recall that the former Governor, had earlier lodged a fresh complaints against Uzodimma to the All Progressive Congress, APC.
Also in the fray is Senator Ifeanyi Araraume, who is also at loggerheads with Uzodimma.
According to Okorocha,”We Challenge the governor to tell the public how the exercise was carried out in Imo. Whether it was by Polling unit by Polling unit, like Okorocha did when APC anchored. Or, Ward by Ward or by Local Government by Local Government. And let’s take off from there. “
He said the media had reported what the Imo State Governor, His Excellency, Chief Hope Uzodinma told the APC’s appeal Committee, on the Party’s Registration and Revalidation exercise. That, Senator Okorocha refused to be registered as APC member in Imo during the exercise.
This Claim could only be laughable to most Nigerians who still remember how APC came to Imo and indeed, to the South-East. Okorocha needed to revalidate his membership of APC and not to register as APC member. Governor Uzodinma has always delighted in propaganda that does not fly again.
The registration and revalidation exercise didn’t take place anywhere in Imo. It was done at the Nick Banquet Hall in Government House, Owerri. The governor’s appointees were generating fictitious names at the Local Government level and taken them to the Government House, to be enrolled.
We Challenge the governor to tell the public how the exercise was carried out in Imo. Whether it was by Polling unit by Polling unit, like Okorocha did when APC anchored. Or, Ward by Ward or by Local Government by Local Government. And let’s take off from there.
If Okorocha had refused to be registered like our governor had claimed, what happened to Senator Ifeanyi Araraume and his Destiny Political family, who produced Six House of Assembly members, that joined others to give Governor Uzodinma the Majority in the House?
What happened to Ugwumba Uche Nwosu who owned the APC ticket with which he (Chief Uzodinma) is governor today? And who produced nine House of Assembly members. What happened to the House of Representatives’ members of the APC Stock?
What happened to top Imo Politicians in APC and their supporters who could not go to the Government House to be part of the abracadabra, including Sir Jude Ejiogu, Lady Chidinma Uwajumogu, who was a senatorial aspirant and a mobilizer of note, High Chief Chidi Ibeh (MFR) and so on?
He said ,”Senator Okorocha, Senator Araraume, Ugwumba Uche Nwosu and thousands of APC members involved, are ready or ever prepared to register or revalidate their memberships of the APC, once the party’s leadership sends people for the exercise. And they will see the clear-cut difference between the month of June and the month of July “
