Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, has insisted that he made no mistake by endorsing his Chief of Staff to the Government House and son-in-law, Uche Nwosu as his successor.
Governor Okorocha said this following a statement credited to him denying his endorsement of Nwosu. A statement by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Sam Onwuemeodo, on Tuesday said the governor’s endorsement of Nwosu was an open thing and if there was any counter development, it should also be an open venture and not “corner-corner” thing.
“We have read in the media, especially on the social media, a statement falsely credited to Governor Okorocha, that he has not endorsed Chief Uche Nwosu but, rather, considering three people, including Nwosu, Prince Eze Madumere and Chike Okafor.
“That is not true. If there was any atom of truth in that claim, it wouldn’t have been a side-talk.
“The governor endorsed Chief Nwosu and gave more than 20 reasons for doing so, in addition to the man’s endorsement by students, women, youth groups and 24 out of the 27 local governments in the state.
