.APC lost in your booth, ward, LGA
By Valentine Amanze
The Imo State Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, has warned the Director-General of the Voice of Nigeria (VON), Mr. Osita Okechukwu, to stop his alleged media attacks against him.
Okorocha also reminded the director general that the 2019 general election in the state exposed him [Okechukwu] as a feather weight in politics.
The governor, through his Chief Press Secretary, Sam Onwuemeodo, claimed that he was the pillar of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the South-East, stressing that he deserved respect from the likes of Okechukwu, who were intimidated by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.
It would be recalled that Okechukwu had in his latest media outing accused the governor of ruining the APC in South-East.
But Okorocha reminded him that he (Okorocha) had toured the whole of South-East when nobody believed that APC was going to see the light of the day.
“I won the governorship for the party in Imo, won 24 out of the 27 members of the House of Assembly, won one Senate and five House of Representatives seats, all for the party.
“But prior to the 2019 election, those playing the politics of 2023 in 2019 recruited men like Osita Okechukwu against me, blackmailing me at the least opportunity they had, and gave the erroneous impression that without Okorocha, they could fly in Imo and South-East generally with APC.
“But in the 2019 election, the fact spoke for its self, that Okorocha truly holds the ace of APC both in Imo and in the South-East generally. And a careful look at the 2019 election results showed that Okorocha was incharge except that with the crisis men like Okechukwu created in Imo APC, INEC capitalized on that and did some strange things,” Okorocha said.
He accused Okechukwu of playing his own politics on the pages of newspapers and attacking him unprovoked.
He pointed out to Okechukwu that he (DG) lost all the elections in his booth, ward and local government, alleging that on the day of the Presidential election he did not come out.
“I challenge him to publish the results of his booth, ward and local government in all the elections. He does not talk about APC in his state, but always talking about Imo APC because he knows that is the only state in the South-East APC is grounded before they used wicked blackmail and unfounded propaganda to inject virus into the party,” the governor said.
Besides, Okorocha advised Okechukwu to build APC in his ward before continuing his insults on him.
