Amosun, Ashiomhole & Okorocha. |
The
National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole has
faulted the decision of Governors Rochas Okorocha (Imo) and Ibikunle Amosun
(Ogun) for encouraging their supporters to pursue their political ambitions in
other parties after losing out in the APC primaries.
Both
governors have promised to support President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election bid
but that they would stop at nothing to ensure the victories of their choice
candidates in other parties.
Okorocha’s
supporters, together with his son inlaw, Uche Nwosu have all defected to the
Action Alliance (AA), while Amosun’s have joined the Allied Peoples Movement
(APM), including members of the House of Assembly.
Adams
Oshiomhole told the governors yesterday that both of them are behaving like
poor students of their own history, forgetting that they lost elections before
winning on the APC platform and that he is confident that the APC remains
stronger in both Imo and Ogun states, despite the grievances of their governors
as a result of the outcome of the party’s primaries where their preferred
candidates lost.
He
said: “The real headline today is that we will win in Ogun State and we will
deliver Hope Uzodinma in Imo State. Our popularity in Imo today is
increasing. What we don’t know and Nigerians always make this mistake that once
you are a governor, you have electoral value. “Yes, we have overwhelming
majority of APC governors who have electoral values and we also have some few
electoral liabilities. I can tell that in Imo State today we will have more
votes.
