Chairman of the Progressive Governors ’ Forum
and governor of Imo
State , Owelle Rochas Okorocha , has disclosed
that his reason for joining the All Progressives
Congress (APC ) was to liberate the Igbo from
the many years of marginalisation and
neglect that they have suffered at the hands
of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP ) .
Okorocha stated this at the campaign rally
organised by the South -East elders and
leaders of the APC at the Igbozurumee Cultural
Centre, Enugu, Enugu State.
Okorocha maintained that it was necessary
for him to vie for the highest leadership
position in the country so that the Igbo could
reclaim their lost opportunities in the scheme
of things in the nation .
“ APC is the only party that can guarantee the
welfare of Ndigbo and the rest of Nigerians in
2015” he said.
He stated that, because the APC has not zoned
the presidency to any particular region of the
country , his emergence as President in the 2015
polls would surprise many, particularly the
PDP . He added that he had all the resources to
realise his ambition.
At the occasion, Okorocha also presented two
APC governorship aspirants in Enugu State,
Ifeanyi Asogwa and Chief Okey Ezea, to the
crowd at the rally.
Addressing the aspirants as Excellencies -in-
Waiting, the Imo State governor advised them
to emulate his leadership style when either of
them becomes the governor of Enugu . He
enjoined the people of Enugu State to vote the
APC come 2015 .
Also present at the rally were the former
governor of Anambra State , Chris Ngige, the
former National Vice Chairman of the APC
and governorship aspirant in Abia State ,
Nyerere Anyim , and many other party
stalwarts in the South- East.
