Imo state governor, Rochas Okorocha, has said the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Adams Oshiomhole and Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi are the architects of his political woes, as they plot to alienate him from politics and halt his 2023 presidential ambition.
Mr. Okorocha, whose dream of having his son-in-law succeed him as governor is fading, said this while addressing a press conference at the Government House, Owerri on Tuesday.
He called the ongoing politics against him as a “war in a different dimension.”
The Imo governor alleged that the recent political upheaval in his state was sponsored by people outside the state, using politicians from the state to pull him down ahead of 2023.
“There is more to the noise you are hearing about the governorship election in Imo, it is not about Uche Nwosu, it is about a plot to stop Okorocha by all means, otherwise why will Adams Oshiomhole and Rotimi Amaechi be interested in who governs Imo.
“The calculation is that if Uche Nwosu becomes governor and I go to Senate, I will be a strong force by 2023. The most annoying fact is that they are using our people to pursue that agenda,” Okorocha said.
