Uche Nwosu, son-in-law to Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha, has dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Action Alliance (AA).
Mr. Nwosu made public the long-anticipated move on Tuesday when he spoke to newsmen at the Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport, Owerri.
Nwosu said he has jettisoned his governorship ambition under the APC because the party reign with “injustice, impunity, and lack of respect for party’s constitution.”
He however added that his new party would cooperate with APC to ensure that President Muhammadu Buhari is re-elected.
“We are going to work with APC to deliver Imo State to President Muhammadu Buhari. We will deliver Governor Rochas Okorocha as senator because Action Alliance has no senatorial candidate in Orlu zone.
“I have no problem with President Muhammadu Buhari. My headache is the National Chairman of APC. It is a divine project and we are ready for the election. It is inter-party marriage between AA and APC in Imo State.
“We will work with APC to deliver President Muhammadu Buhari, Governor Rochas Okorocha, myself and all our candidates,” Nwosu said.
Governor Okorocha had earlier vowed to support his preferred candidate Nwosu for the Imo governorship ticket if he joins another party on the condition that the party would endorse President Buhari for a second term.
