Okorocha’s son in-law, deputy jostle for endorsement
DAYS after the son in-law to Governor Rochas Okorocha, Mr. Uche Nwosu was endorsed by a section of youths of All Progressives Congress, APC, supporters of the Deputy Governor; Prince Eze Madumere went to the streets of Owerri to call on Governor Rochas Okorocha to endorse his deputy.
Vanguard gathered yesterday in Owerri that on the same day the Deputy Governor’s supporters were on the streets, a group that preferred the name Rochas Good Governance, led by one Frank Onwumere, endorsed Nwosu.
This new dimension of who gets the highest number of endorsement started after Okorocha mentioned that his son in-law, Nwosu and the deputy governor of the state, Madumere were among those aspiring for the exalted position.
