Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has called on the National working Committee of the All Progressives Congress, led by Mr. Adams Oshiomhole, to submit the name of his son in-law, Mr, Uche Nwosu, to the Independent National Electoral Commission as the winner of the APC governorship primaries in the state.<\/p>\n

Okorocha made the appeal in a statement obtained by the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, on Monday.<\/p>\n

Okorocha said upholding Nwosu\u2019s candidacy will \u201cprotect the high integrity of President Muhammadu Buhari and the integrity of the Party.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that Nwosu remained the \u201conly hope\u201d for the state, stressing that the candidates of other parties would spell doom for the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor some time now, I have been in Abuja fighting for the soul of Imo State from possible kidnap and subsequent destruction by political thieves.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only hope left for Imo State now is for Uche Nwosu to emerge as a candidate. Otherwise, there will be total economic catastrophe when I leave as governor.<\/p>\n

\u201cThough they have spoken falsely and badly about our candidate, nobody can say that he was a fraudster in Lagos or that he was an armed robber in Benin or an arrogant man or a criminal.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have actually nothing to say about him except that he is my son-in-law,\u201d the release read.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
