2019: No room for Okorocha in APGA
DESPITE feelers that Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha may be dumping his party, All Progressives Congress, APC, for the All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA, top members of APGA in the state have denied knowledge of the governor’s moves to rejoin the party, insisting that there is no room for the embattled governor to rejoin his former party.
Okorocha said, weekend that he could still have won his second term as governor if he had remained and contested under APGA during the state 2015 governorship poll.
He had decamped from APGA to APC after the 2011 election in which he won as governor of Imo State for his first tenure.
Investigations by Vanguard yesterday revealed that internal consultations by some members of the Imo State chapter of APGA had begun to smoothen the way for Okorocha to rejoin the party.
