Governor Rochas Okorocha of the eastern Nigerian state of Imo has formally expressed support for the All Progressives Congress (APC), still in its formative stage, urging the people of the state to join him.
Okorocha made the declaration at a rally in Owerri as part of activities marking his two years in office.
He said his intention of
joining APC was to ensure that the people continued to benefit from the dividends of democracy.
He explained that APGA had engaged in the merger and not in alliance with any party, noting that a two party system was good for the country’s democracy.
The governor told the crowd that came to witness his declaration that the state had witnessed more development in two years than in the past 12 years.
Okorocha also told them that APC would bring the state closer to the “federal eye”.
Seven state governors were present at the rally to show solidarity with the governor,inluding Gov Fashola, Gov Oshimole, Gov Kayode Fayemi.
Share your thoughts...thanks!
