EX-GOV ROCHAS OKOROCHA LAMPOONS APC, PLANS NEW PARTY
THE SENATOR REPRESENTING IMO WEST AND FORMER GOVERNOR OF IMO STATE, CHIEF ROCHAS OKOROCHA, HAVE OPENLY CRITISIZED HIS PARTY, THE ALL PROGRESSIVES CONGRESS, SAYING THE RULLING PARTY WAS HURRIEDLY FORMED TO HIJACK POWER FROM THE PEOPLES DEMOCRATIC PARTY IN 2015.
OKOROCHA, IN AN INTERVIEW WITH JOURNALISTS IN ABUJA, SAID HE AND OTHER PROGRESSIVE-MINDED POLITICIANS WERE PERFECTING A PLAN TO FORM A NEW POLITICAL MOVEMENT.
HE SAID THERE WAS URGENT NEED FOR THE REGROUPING OF THE ‘GOOD POLITICIANS’ TO RESTORE PUBLIC CONFIDENCE IN GOVERNANCE AND SAVE THE COUNTRY.
BUT THE PDP APPEALED TO THE FORMER GOVERNOR TO RETURN TO THE OPPOSITION PARTY INSTEAD OF MAKING THE MISTAKE HE MADE IN 2014.
ACCORDING TO OKOROCHA, FROM THE BODY LANGUAGE OF THE NIGERIANS, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THEY ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH WHAT IS ON GROUND IN NIGERIA.
THE SENATOR WHO IS A FOUNDING MEMBER OF THE APC, LAST WEEK INAUGURATED A PROJECT OF THE RIVERS STATE GOVERNMENT ON THE INVITATION OF THE STATE GOVERNOR, NYESOM WIKE.
HE THEREFOR CALLED ON THE GOOD PEOPLE IN THE APC AND THE PDP TO COME TOGETHER AND RESCUE NIGERIA IN 2023.
