The Willie Obiano campaign forum Friday
dismissed, as an exercise in futility, Imo State
governor Rochas Okorocha's relocation to
Anambra State to campaign for the candidate of
the All Progressives Congress (APC), senator Chris
Ngige, in the November 16 Gubernatorial Election. The group, which declared that Anambra State is
an APGA stronghold, said the party's flag bearer,
Chief Willie Obiano, would emerge victorious at the
end of the governorship election. The National Co-ordinator of the Campaign Forum,
Owelle Onyeka Mbaso who recently stormed
Awka, the Anambra State capital with a large
crowd of party faithful, mobilised by the 21 co-
ordinators of the Forum from all the local
government areas of the state dismissed Okorocha as a political lightweight whose threats do not
amount to more than an empty rhetoric. "I laughed when I read Okorocha's comment about
his planned relocation to Awka. But what people
ought to ask is; what is Okorocha's political weight
even in Imo State where he is the governor?
Okorocha was a political wanderer for 15 years
until our great party rescued him from the wilderness and we welcome his visit to take his
candidate back to the wilderness. APGA will defeat
APC and other parties in the coming election.
Ungrateful Rochas okorocha will lose now and in
2015," Mbaso said. The group assured Anambra people not to lose
sleep over Okorocha's comment as they were the
"typical rants of a man in political delirium." According to him, Anambra State is too enlightened
to be led by the noose by anybody including
Okorocha. "Governor Rochas Okorocha is well
known for his unguarded statements that almost
got himself into trouble when he once addressed
former President, Olusegun Obasanjo as though they were mates. Besides, we cannot support a
party that encourages the deportation of Ndigbo
from Lagos. APGA is a political party that has the
best manifesto for good governance," he declared.
