Rochas revived APGA in Imo State –Aide 1

Special Assistant and liaison officer to Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State, Alfred  Ononugbo, has said that contrary to speculations, the governor was the one who revived the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Imo State.
Ononugbo said before Okorocha’s emergence as governor, the state chapter of APGA was almost non-existent, but it came back to life through the governor’s efforts. He said that Okorocha’s decision to join the All Progressives Congress (APC) was because he shared common policies and ideologies with the party and it was in the interest of the South East. He said his change of political camp would not prevent him from seeking re-election in 2015 if he chose to.
“Before Okorocha emerged as governor, APGA was almost non-existent in Imo. It was through his efforts, that the fortunes of the party were turned around, and even if he goes to any other party, he would still win. People voted for him and not for the party. Some people have described his movement to the APC as being unstable, but the truth is that he can only be among people who share the same views and policies with him and those are the things the APC is offering.
“He has the desire to replicate what he is doing across the country and if the opportunity presents itself, he would take it. The people of Imo love him and he has not lost favour with them, contrary to what his opponents want people to believe.
“If he wants to contest for another term, he has the right to do so and the people of Imo State would vote for him. What his opponents do not know is that many Imo natives are  clamouring for him to contest,” he said.
