Okorocha finally clears air on alleged plan to dump APC

Senator Rochas Okorocha, the immediate past governor of Imo state, has said he still remains a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The Nation reports that the senator representing Imo West also asked the public to disregard the speculation he has plans to leave the party.

Legit.ng gathered that Okorocha, who gave the clarification while addressing the members of the party's State Working Committee (SWC), zonal, LGA and ward executives of his faction of the party in the state at the weekend, stated nobody has a stake in APC more than himself.

He said: “I have not left APC. I am still in APC. Nobody has stakes in APC more than me. The worst insults I had in Imo and in the southeast in 2015 was because of APC and President Muhammadu Buhari."

Okorocha also revealed that Buhari was not aware of the injustice being meted out to the elected APC executives in Imo from the state to the ward levels.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had previously reported that Okorocha said that he and other progressive-minded politicians are muting a new political order ahead of 2023.

It was reported that he said this is as a result of the silent agitations and complaints across the country against the current state of the nation.

Okorocha said on Monday, January 18, that it is obvious that people are not satisfied with what is on the ground from their body language, adding that there is an urgent need for the regrouping of the ‘good politicians’ to restore public confidence in governance and save the country.

The former governor insisted that the country needs political re-engineering, warning that Nigerians cannot be fooled again by mischievous politicians in 2023.
