2019: Rochas Okorocha is confused, I’ll defeat him – Uzodinma

The Imo State governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Senator Hope Uzodinma has described the outgoing governor of the state, Rochas Okorocha as a confused man for running for Senate under the APC while supporting the candidate of another party for governor.

He stated this on Tuesday while briefing journalists in Owerri, the Imo state capital.

According to Uzodinma, he will beat Okorocha five times if he still went for senate election.

He said: “We are here for a rescue mission. We want our state to be managed differently. Our emphasis is not where somebody is coming from. We want to implement the manifesto of APC in Imo state.

“Because of the situation, we saw there is need to do better things for the state and I have to make some sacrifices to better the life of our people.

“At a point, it was like nobody to talk in Imo state, this is one of the reasons I decided to leave the Senate and go for governor. If I still go for senate election, and the election is conducted five times I will beat Okorocha five times.

“Rochas is confused, why is he running for senate in APC, and he is asking his supporters to vote for AA candidates.”

Recall that Okorocha had said he wants to go to Senate to remain politically relevant until 2023 and also to represent Ndigbo and the Nigerian masses.
