After much speculation, the Imo State chapter
of the All Progressives Congress, APC,
yesterday elected Governor Rochas Okorocha’s
son-inlaw, Chief Uche Nwosu as its
governorship candidate for the 2015 election.
Nwosu was ratified as the party’s candidate in
a congress that took place early Tuesday
morning at the International Conference
Centre, Owerri.
The governorship candidate is the state
commissioner for Lands and Urban
Development. It is believed in many quarters
that Nwosu’s candidature was meant for him
to hold brief for Governor Okorocha who is
seriously vying to secure the party’s
presidential ticket.
It is also learnt that if Nwosu was chosen
because he is the only person that would not
disappoint Okorocha but hand him over the
governorship ticket in any case he loses the
APC presidential primaries.
Speaking with journalists in Owerri, the state
chairman of the party, Dr. Hilary Eke said the
party decided to give its ticket to whoever it
thinks that could win elections.
