The Chairman of the All progressives
Congress in Imo State, Daniel Nwafor, on Saturday said Governor Rochas Okorocha
cannot determine the governorship candidate of the party for the 2019
general
elections.He stated this after presenting the keys to the 27 Sienna vehicles bought for
the chairmen of the party in all the local government areas of the state.
He insisted that members of the
party would determine the party’s candidate for the governorship election next
year.He noted that the party recognised
the governor as the leader of the party in the state, but that his choice of
his Chief of Staff, Uche Nwosu, as his preferred successor would not affect the
credibility of the party’s primary.
Nwafor said “It is normal, personal
and democratic for the governor to prefer a particular aspirant as his
successor but it will not affect our primary election.
“The governor has only one vote. The
party will determine who will be our governorship candidate and the Imo people
will determine who will be the next governor of the state.”
