The immediate past governor of Imo state and Senator representing Imo West Senatorial district, Rochas Okorocha has rejoiced over the news that National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has lifted the suspension placed on him and some other members of the party.
Recall that Okorocha had a fall out with his party and was subsequently suspended during the last general election as a result of his refusal to support Senator Hope Uzodinma, the governorship candidate of the APC in Imo, throwing his weight behind Uche Nwosu, the governorship candidate of Action Alliance (AA).
Okorocha has now commended the NWC of APC was lifting the suspension on him and promised to continue to work for the growth of the party.
Read the statement signed by Mr Sam Onwuemeodo, Special Adviser on Media to senator Okorocha.
“We have received the good news that the National Working Committee (NWC) of our great Party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, has, in its wisdom, lifted the suspension of the former governor of Imo State and Senator, representing Imo West Senatorial District, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, and it is a welcome development.
“The NWC has acted well and we commend the members for that.
“Senator Okorocha has always been a very good party man and shall continue in that regard. He shall also continue to work committedly for the good of the Party and also join hands with other leaders of the Party to ensure that the party remains strong in Imo, grows rapidly in the South-East and consolidates at the national level.
“The former governor equally thanked leaders of the Party, especially President Muhammadu Buhari for this healthy development.
“He commended the APC members in Imo for their unflinching support, steadfastness and commitment for the party, and assured them that the Party would remain number one in the State.”
