- Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo state says he will contest for presidency in 2023 despite the gang up by political forces against his ambition

- Okorocha claims the plot against his ambition began in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) two years ago in Lagos state

- The governor also accuses Senators Hope Uzodinma and Osita Izunaso of conspiring to stop him from going to the Senate in 2019

Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo state has alleged that some unnamed persons from the southwest and northern part of the country are plotting to stop his 2023 presidential ambition.

Okorocha who sounded defiant, however, told journalists at his Ogboko country home in the Ideato north local government area of the state that he would contest for presidency in 2023 despite the gang up against his ambition.

The governor claimed that the plot against him began in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) two years ago in Lagos state, The Punch reports.

“What I am suffering now in APC started two years ago in Lagos. They called my subordinates including my deputy and asked them to team up to fight me,” Okorocha said.

“Hope Uzodinma joined them lately. They decided to use him because they saw him as a strong person, being a sitting senator.

“The whole thing is about my 2023 presidential ambition. They want to shut out any Igbo man who is strong politically from the 2023 presidential race. But despite the gang up, I must contest for president in 2023.”

Okorocha also accused Senators Hope Uzodinma and Osita Izunaso of conspiring to stop him from going to the Senate in 2019 under the guise that he was too big to represent just a senatorial district after being a governor for eight years.

“There is a conspiracy to stop me from going to the Senate. Hope Uzodinma has joined Senator Osita Izunaso. There is an alliance with Jones Onyereri. They will use security agencies to stop me. I am going to the Senate to make a positive difference,” he said.

The governor accused political forces from the west and north of working to hijack the Imo state’s politics.

“If care is not taken, a time will come in Imo State that before a sitting governor appoints a commissioner, he will first get an approval from either the West or the north,” he said.

“Most of the Igbo elite have compromised but I am the only person who has not compromised and will not.

It is your kinsmen that are against Igbo presidency come 2023.


You can't reap what you didn't sows, you can't eat your cake and have it.



Igbo's didn't invest in APC and they want reward on a platter of gold from the Party.

Okorocha the Igbo man that worship Hausa and Yoruba

It seems mediocrity, deceit and lies are the must have requirements to become a member of the evil APC party.
Okorocha and Buhari have some things in common - nepotism and backwardness
