Gov. Rochas Okorocha of Imo said on
Wednesday that he was not in the
presidential race to cause disaffection or
fan the embers of disunity.
He made the remark while fielding
questions from newsmen shortly after
holding a closed-door meeting with Gov.
Rabi’u Kwankwaso at the Government
House, Kano.
He described the All Progressives
Congress (APC) as a united, cohesive and
focused party.
“APC is not a house divided against itself
as being speculated by some elements.
According to him, he is ready to render
his maximum support to whoever
emerges as the party’s presidential flag
bearer.
The governor, who expressed optimism
that APC would form the next government
come 2015, called on the party supporters
to support whoever emerged as the
party’s presidential flag bearer.
He said such cooperation was needed to
ensure the victory of the party.
“Any attempt to spoil the show at this
material point in time will be inimical to
national interest.”
He said he was in Kano to meet with
delegates whose importance to his
presidential ambition could not be over
emphasised.
“My relationship with Gov. Rabi’u Musa
Kwakwaso is cordial and friendly,
adding,
“I am deeply impressed by what I saw on
ground in Kano.’’ (NAN)
