Okorocha vs Uzodinms Issue will Be Resolved Soon: APC



THE All Progressives Congress has said the fracas between Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma and his predecessor, Senator Rochas Okorocha, will soon be over


Senator John Akpanudoedehe who is the National Secretary of the APC Caretaker /Extra-Ordinary National Convention Planning Committee said this in a telephone interview with Foresight News yesterday Monday in Abuja.


According to him  “The fracas between the two senior members of our great party will soon be over. Governors have intervened. And as a party, we are confident that the governors will talk to one another and resolve the issues. What is left now, is for us to manage the peace.”



Earlier, several pro-APC groups organised a peaceful protest in Abuja, to appeal to the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), and the Governor, Mai Mala Buni-led Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, to intervene and end the war of attrition between the two senior party leaders.


The battle of wits between Uzodinma and Okorocha, took a violent turn on Sunday, when their supporters clashed in Owerri. Okorocha, his wife and some of their aides, were arrested by the police for allegedly breaking into a sealed property owned by Mrs. Okorocha.


A coalition of pro-APC groups staged a peaceful protest in Abuja, on Monday, to draw the attention of the party leadership to the need to intervene in order to stop the feud from degenerating further.


Chairman of one of the participating groups, Nigerians in Diaspora, Dr. Kingman Chikelu, said his group had written 16 petitions to foreign Embassies and High Commissions over the crisis in Imo State.


According to him, the political feud was an embarrassment to Nigeria and Nigerians at home and abroad.


In his address during the event, the representative of Arewa Youth Consultative Council, Toyib Ibrahim, said “As a conscious and oriented youth organization, we condemn the arrest and maltreatment of the former Governor of Imo State and Senator representing Imo West Senatorial District, His Excellency, Rochas Okorocha, for venturing into the Royal palm estate.


On its part, the APC student’s wing, represented by their President, Tiefa Pete, said, “We are here today to register our displeasure over the silence of the party structure and to call on the Governor Mai Mala Buni-led caretaker committee to call Governor Hope Uzodinma to order.”
