Okorocha’s Son-Inlaw Boasts He’ll Be Announced APC’s Imo Governorship Candidate, Not Uzodinma

The former Chief of Staff and The son-in-law to Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State, Uche Nwosu, who has been battling for the governorship ticket of the party in court, stressed that the court will deliver judgment in his favour.

Nwosu made this comment while addressing his supporters on Tuesday, November 13, 2018, shortly after his arrival in Owerri, he said he is the rightful governorship candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Hope Uzodinma is only a tenant in the APC, so won’t govern the state.

“I am the lawful governorship candidate of the APC in Imo state. Our national chairman did not respect the rule of law and the constitution of our party in substituting senator Hope Uzodinma’s name for mine.

“The records are very clear. I won the first primary election on October 2. I also won the second primary held on October 6. The records are there. The police, INEC and DSS reports affirm my victories.

“It is only for a matter of time. We will get justice in court. My name shall be on the ballot. I shall be announced as the APC governorship candidate in Imo state. Hope Uzodinma won’t be governor.”

The former Chief of Staff also debunked the rumours making rounds that he has concluded plans to dump the APC for another party in order to fulfill his governorship ambition.
