Against the backdrop of SunNews' report, the
Imo State government wishes to put the record
straight with regard to the ambition of the Imo
State Governor in 2015.
And to also correct the impression that the Imo
State Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha is in
the race for the Vice-Presidential slot of the
APC, as the Daily Sun caption had suggested.
The truth of the matter is that Governor
Okorocha is not in the VP race in APC.
There has been unprecedented pressure on the
governor by Nigerians from all walks of life to
vie for the Presidency and he has been
consulting on that.
His consultations have not been on the VP slot
but on the presidency and at the end of the
consultations, he would decide whether to
throw his hat into the ring for the presidential
race or not.
The pressure is also on the Imo governor by
well meaning citizens of Imo State, including
the artisans, farmers, traders, students, etal in
the state to ensure the completion of the
transformation he has begun in the state by
seeking re-election in 2015.
And the governor is also yet to decide on that.
However, it is also good that the stakeholders
said to have met according to the Daily Sun
story where the name of the governor was
mentioned for the VP race must have seen the
qualities in him and what his administration has
been doing in Imo that made them to consider
him for the VP position.
While we appreciate that, the fact remains that
Governor Okorocha is not in the race for VP for
2015. However, everything depends on God
who gives power.
