2019: Imo Archbishop, Okorocha in epic battle
Ahead the 2019 governorship election, fiery Archbishop of Owerri Catholic Diocese, Most Reverend Anthony Obinna has resumed attacks against Governor Rochas Okorocha and the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The duo have been locked in an epic battle over who produces the next governor in 2019.
While the governor is relying on his sterling achievements to convince the electorate, the Archbishop is relying on the Church to oust the APC out of power.
The cleric, in all his sermons since the beginning of the year, had launched a campaign to incite the electorate, especially Catholic faithful against Okorocha and the APC over his claims of non performance and highhandedness.
