PDP Rally is a Gathering of Imo’s Problems, Says Rochas Okorocha

Rochas Okorocha

In this interview, the Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, responded to allegations that he was elected in error by the PDP, as well as other issues after the PDP rally in Owerri, the state capital. Chuks Okocha presents the excerpt

PDP has alleged that you won the governorship by default. Is it true?
Let my start by saying that PDP lied. It was not by accident, it was the mandate of the people freely given by Imo State. And let me put the record right, PDP has never won any election in Imo State. The election of Udenwa was won by me in 1999. It was not Achike Udenwa who won that election. So, it was not true and after that came Ohakim. So, they wouldn't have said it was a mistake. I have always won election in Imo State. What happened today was a political 419; the more you look, the less you see. The so called crowd they said they had was not Imolites. They don't have up to 2000 Imolities there. This is a South-east, South-south rally.
