Rochas Okorocha Picks Imo APC Governorship Ticket Few Hours After Losing Presidential Bid

 

Rochas Okrocha of Imo state has just picked up the  APC governorship ticket just few hours after crashing out of the presidential primaries.

His son in law who is the commissioner for lands and urban planning, Chief Uche Nwosu who was said to have been adopted as the governorship candidate for the party announced his withdrawal from the race after Okorocha showed interest.

The Chairman of the Electoral Committee, Mr. John Alamba said: "A few days ago, we gathered here to elect Chief Nwosu as the APC governorship candidate, but I was in Lagos when I learnt that the candidate had resigned on personal grounds. We are gathered here today to ratify Governor Okorocha as the party’s governorship candidate".
