Okorocha is a mole in APC- Okechukwu
ENUGU – Spokesman of the All
Progressives Congress,APC, South-East geopolitical zone, Mr. Osita Okechukwu,
has dismissed the statement by Imo State Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha that
Ndigbo were responsible for their exclusion in appointments made by President
Muhamadu Buhari.
Okechukwu was reacting to an
interview granted to a national daily by Okorocha, published on yesterday.
Gov Okorocha of Imo State
In the interview, Okorocha said he
shared the sentiments of the Igbo that none of them made the list of
appointees.
The Imo Governor however added that
“some of the appointments we lost was of the doings of our people,” just as he
recalled that when he crying like a lonely voice in the wilderness that look at
where Nigeria was going, Ndigbo chose to put all their eggs in one basket.
But, in a statement on Sunday,
Okechukwu said Okorocha should take responsibility for Igbo exclusion in the
appointments, rather than passing the buck to Ndigbo.
In a statement was titled, ‘Governor
Rochas Okorocha neither truly campaigned for President Buhari nor APC’
Okechukwu stated: “I am sorry to comment on the blame game being played by,
Owelle Rochas Okorocha; for his interview can be classified as Okorocha Recue
Mission from the less than five percent score in the 2015 presidential election
from the entire South East.
“All one can say is that to the best
of my knowledge, he neither truly campaigned for President Muhammadu Buhari nor
the All Progressives Congress.
“My thinking is that while we blame
Ndigbo for putting all our eggs in one basket, we should blame our leaders who
genuinely didn’t campaign for President Buhari nor APC candidates in their
domain.
“I challenge Governor Okorocha to
tell the world how far he assisted Senator Osita Izunaso for his bid for Orlu
senatorial district, his own constituency and that of Hons Uche Onyeguocha and
Uwajimogu of Owerri and Okigwe districts respectively” Okechukwu stated.
While noting that a little
assistance from Governor Okorocha could have earned APC two senatorial seats,
and other legislative seats, Okechukwu made it clear that there was no point
for him to blame Ndigbo without blaming himself first.
“This is a man some of us advised
not to run against the zoning convention, that it will deny Ndigbo the chance
of producing either the chairman or the vice presidential slot and he refused.
He thought we are in Nollywood” the APC zonal spokesman said.
According to Okechukwu, the Imo
Governor should forthwith desist from the blame game and accept responsibility
for the fate of Ndigbo in Buhari’s appointments.
He maintained that Okorocha lied
when he claimed that he was crying like a lonely voice in the wilderness for
Ndigbo to vote for Buhari.
He insisted that if Okorocha really
cried like a lonely voice in the wilderness, President Buhari would have gotten
at least 30 percent of the votes cast in Imo State and not 18 percent.
“If Okorocha worked for APC in the
South-East, how come we did not even win a single senatorial seat in Imo and
the entire zone? He should stop this blame game and accept responsibility for
the fate that has befallen Ndigbo” Okechukwu said.
