I named ruling party APC, won't leave for Hope Uzodinma - Okorocha

Former Imo West Senator Rochas Okorocha has disclosed that he named the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

Okorocha said he was among the founding fathers of the APC and would not leave the party for anybody.

He made the remarks while speaking about his face-off with Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma.

According to Okorocha, “I didn’t go against the Imo State government, so why must the Imo State government be talking on a matter? The attempted murder of my person, when one of his thugs came to attack me, if not for the grace of God, when one of his policemen came to me and spoke in Hausa that, ‘Please leave this place or they will kill you.’

“Or is it the shooting of my in-law, and he was in hospital for nine months, or the handcuffing of Uche Nwosu as a criminal? They went to a church and shot before arresting him. Is it that which was resolved?

“No one in this country will take the humiliations that I have taken. No one in this country or in this world has taken the humiliation.

“Having seen my daughter beaten, her husband handcuffed, police officers macheted all over, and we are still members of the APC.

“I founded this party, and the name APC was given by Rochas Okorocha. Ask anybody, I was among the founding fathers of this party, and so I will not leave the party for anybody.”
