IMO 2019 - You’re planning to install your son-in-law as Governor – APC chieftain, Onyeaguocha confronts Okorocha

There was an altercation yesterday between Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha and a chieftain of his party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, Uche Onyeaguocha.

The disagreement was over which zone would produce the next governor of the state in 2019.


The development, which took place at the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, secretariat, during the 2017 World Press Freedom Day, got many in attendance talking.

Drama started when Onyeaguocha openly alleged that Okorocha was plotting to install his son in-law, Uche Nwosu as his successor.

Onyeaguocha represented Owerri federal Constituency, at the House of Representatives.


“There is a big issue in Imo state and that is which of the zones will produce the next governor of Imo state”, Vanguard quoted him as saying.

“The governor said there is nothing like zoning; why is it that his deputy is from another zone and the Speaker of Imo House of Assembly from another zone?”

Okorocha later attempted to calm nerves, saying the state leadership and stakeholders will meet and decide before the next governorship election.

You are the beloved of God, your head bowed, your height knelt. You speak for the Berom whose household was slaughtered and his huts razed by fire. You speak for the Christian minority, who are sandwiched between crushing hate and the devil's ire. You are the heartbeat of fainting hearts. You are Samson the crusher of the wicked. You are Gideon, a man of valour. From the small town of Akpugo, to the oil rich South South, you are the voice of the helpless, their toast...
