Okorocha
who is the Omo West senatorial candidate of the APC made this known at
the Orlu township stadiim where he flagged off his campaign.
According to Okorocha, the national chairman, whom he christened “Oshi and Ole”, has shown unreliable character.
“My
finishing governor as is not a full-stop. It is a comma because after
every comma, a sentence will follow. Those who are afraid of me
politically have ganged up to fight me, including the person I supported
to become the national chairman. That is why they brought Hope
Uzodinma. He is not running for any election, but was only recruited to
fight me in my Orlu zone.
“I
am also running for the Senate election to attract a lot of things for
Orlu people. You have seen what I have done as a governor. When I go to
the Senate, there will be a massive difference. Nzeribe, Izunaso and
Uzodinma had wasted the position for years, as there is no project they
can boast of in Orlu zone. They were only interested in their pockets,”
the governor said.
He challenged his rival in the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Senator Osita Izunaso, to present what he did when he served the zone for four years.

“Please,
ask Osita Izunaso what he has been able to attract to Orlu zone for the
four years he spent in the House of Representatives and four years he
spent as a senator, not even a bungalow was attracted to Orlu zone. So,
he should go and sit down.
“I
am very grateful to you all. I have never seen in my life a senatorial
rally taking the shape of a national rally. The crowd here is
intimidating and has humbled me. What I understand is that you are
saying to me Rochas carry go; you are saying to me, go to Abuja.”
