Okorocha
The
governor of Imo State and leader of the All Progressives Congress,
APC, in the state, Rochas Okorocha has said that political
fraudsters who do not believe in the ballot box and in the principle
of one man, one vote won’t be comfortable in Imo APC and in the
State generally.
The
governor remarked that there are certain Politicians in the State who
do not believe that the votes of Party members or the votes of Imo
people must count in either Party primaries or in the election
proper, and they are the ones trying to cause problem in Imo APC.
He
explained that APC members and Imo people in general must Continue to
insist on proper voting in every election and those who cannot win
primaries or election without manipulation or without running away
with electoral officers and materials should leave the APC or quit
Politics in the State.
The
governor noted that the direct primary adopted by Imo APC in the
choice of its Candidates had exposed paper tiger Politicians in the
State who were afraid of testing their Popularity even among the
Party members they claimed they belong.
He
said that the Imo APC would continue to adopt Direct Primary as its
Culture in the choice of Candidates and would have also preferred
option A4 for the main election so that Nigerians can know popular
Politicians who are in touch with their people and those whose
Politics begins and stops at the federal capital territory Abuja and
on the social media.
He
commended the writers of the APC Constitution and the National
Working Committee of the party for the direct primary option because
it distinguishes between Popular and unpopular aspirants or
Politicians and also allows popular participation by members of the
Party especially in the wards.
The
governor assured members of the party in the State that Chief Hope
Uzodinma whose claim of being a member of Imo APC is still in doubt
and his cohorts won’t succeed in their efforts to create crisis in
the party.
