Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has taken exception to the remark
of the Acting Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress,
Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, who described him as a bad loser in politics.
Issa-Onilu, had in a statement on Thursday, described some APC governors
including Okorocha as bad losers in respect of the governorship
primaries of the party.
A statement issued in Owerri on Saturday, by the Chief Press Secretary
to the governor, Sam Onwuemeodo explained that Okorocha, contrary to
what Issa-Onilu would want people to believe and other governors, are
working for the progress of the party with the National Chairman of the
party, Adams Oshiomhole.
The governor observed that disagreements with the party leadership were
bound to arise and advised the National Publicity Secretary on the need
to exercise caution in order not to create a wrong impression.
Okorocha warned against castigating governors, who worked for the party
from the onset, insisting that Issa-Onilu misfired by doing so and had
sent a bad signal to the world.
Okorocha however, advised Issa-Onilu to acquaint himself with proper
information on the Imo APC case to avoid feeding the public with
falsehood that might snowball into a conflagration.
He recalled that Oshiomhole cancelled the results of the primary
conducted by Ahmed Gulak-led committee and set up a new committee headed
by Ibrahim Agbabiaka, which conducted a fresh primary.
According to the governor, “the governorship primary conducted by the
Agbabiaka- led committee threw up Uche Nwosu as the APC candidate in the
state”.
