I’ve taken enough insults from Oshiomhole — Okorocha

Rochas Okorocha

Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, has warned that he is fed up of the ‘insults’ from the national chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole.

Okorocha said this in a recent interview with newspaper editors in Abuja.

Okorocha, who has been in a legal battle with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) over his certificate of return as senator-elect of Imo West, has repeatedly blamed Oshiomhole for his travails.

When asked what he would tell Oshiomhole if they met today, Okorocha said: “We will chat as usual. What will I do to him? The last time I saw Oshiomhole was when I went to Oshiomhole’s office and he sent his State Security Service man to insult me in his office, before the governorship candidate of Akwa Ibom, the NDDC guy who also reacted against the gentleman.

“An SSS was pushing me out as a governor from his office. So, I’ve taken enough of insults from Oshiomhole and all those that are planning this evil.”

The governor said that apart from his anti-party activities during the general elections, APC fears that if they grant him access to the Senate, he would run for presidency in 2023.

“They say if I get to the Senate, I want to run for the President and all of that; that I want to run for 2023 elections. Who told them? Have I declared? You wait until I declare and when I do declare, we now fight politically,” he said.
