Imo APC Crisis: Okorocha Locked Stadium Against APC, Diverted Money Meant For Workers – Oshiomhole
The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has told the Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, that President Muhammadu Buhari has adopted the governorship candidate of the state, Senator Hope Uzodinma.
Oshiomhole also accused Okorocha of frustrating the APC candidate, an action he described as anti-party.
The former Edo stated governor said that by denying Uzodinma use of the state’s stadium, the governor has shown he is working against the party.
