Imo state APC kicks out Okorocha

Okorocha

The Imo chapter of the ruling All Progressives Congress has suspended Governor Rochas Okorocha for anti party activities barely a month to election.

In a letter the Imo State chapter of the APC signed told National Chairman of the APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole regretted that Okorocha who is supposedly the party’s candidate for Imo West senatorial district has vowed to undermine the APC and its electoral interest.

The caretaker committee chairman of the Imo APC faction, Marcellinus Nlemigbo said “To save the party from the machinations of Governor Rochas Okorocha, our state Caretaker Committee highly recommends the expulsion of the governor from the APC so that he can fully move to his party, the Action Alliance.”

Nlemigbo stated that the party recently set up a disciplinary committee which was led by Matthew Omegara to investigate allegations of anti-party activities against Okorocha by one of its member Ikechukwu Unegbu .

Following investigations, the governor was found guilty for sponsoring another political party, Action Alliance (AA), and its governorship candidate in the state, Uche Nwosu.
