Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, has said that the national chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, and the party’s governorship candidate, Hope Uzodimma, worked for the opposition’s victory in the just-concluded election.
Okorocha, in a statement by his spokesperson, Sam Onwuemeodo, on Thursday, said that posterity would judge the duo.
“We had maintained that Chief Uzodinma was just a mole in the APC and today, the governorship election in the state and its outcome have obviously vindicated us, aside the fact that a video of Chief Uzodinma’s celebration with Ihedioha has gone viral on the social media,” he said.
Okorocha alleged that Uzodinma teamed up with Oshiomhole to ensure that only his supporters were made agents of the party during the elections.
“Unfortunately, none of Uzodinma’s and Oshiomhole’s approved agents were seen either at the ward, local government or at the state level; they didn’t care about the election and its outcome.
“Their target as it has been shown now is to totally destroy APC in the South-east and in Imo in particular, thereby authenticating the claim in some quarters that it is all about 2023.
“We had equally maintained the contention that Imo people would not vote for Uzodinma because they know him very well, but Oshiomhole refused to listen.
“He came fourth and never showed that he took part in the election; Posterity and history will judge Oshiomhole and Uzodinma over the fate of APC in the South-East, especially in Imo State,” Okorocha said.
