——–insists that Zuma’s statue will not be pulled down.

Governor Rochas Okorocha has denied any impeachment plot against his deputy Prince Eze Madumere even he insisted the stature of the former South Africain Président Jacob erected in Owerri,the state capital despite opposition from citizens.

Saturday Daily Times reports that the first lady Mrs. Nkechi Okorocha and her son-inlaw and Chief of Staff, Uche Nwosu were fingered out in the impeachment plot.

A statement by thé Chief Press Secretary to the state governor Mr. Sam Onwuemeodo stated that impeachment plot was echoed à day Chief Mbata and Hon Osuji had led the APC Officials and leaders in Owerri Municipal Council to endorse Chief Uche Nwosu for the 2019 governorship in the State.

Okorocha querried that of what political value would the impeachment of the Deputy Governor would add to anybody or organisation in the State at the moment

“The truth of the matter is that those who cooked up the impeachment story with the hope that it would help them in their ambition are also the ones marketing it. Hon Osuji is not even one of the Principal Officers of the House as I write and Hon Mbata is not a member of the Assembly. How then would they impeach the deputy governor?

According to him, “The point is that anybody who thinks that he can win the governorship election in the state in 2019 without the contribution of Governor Rochas Okorocha should go and do what Rochas did in 2011 by taking the ticket of APGA and winning the election and in 2015 when he joined APC in a zone that was dominated by PDP and also won his election. That is the best action now.”

“There are a lot of Political Parties looking for people to come and take their tickets. Any of the aspirants who thinks or feels he has the political capacity to win election in Imo without Rochas’ contribution should go for the ticket of one of such parties and win election and let us see.”

He pointed out that “But for APC Imo state Rochas Okorocha cannot and will not be allowed to leave it for anybody because when he was risking his second tenure and life to build the party most of these people were either not there or were sitting on the fence.”

On the Jacob Zuma’s Statue, Okorocha saïd that thé statute erected in Owerri would not be pulled down saying that thé statue was erected when the man was a sitting president.” We should also be keen in his life story. For instance, a man who didn’t receive any formal education but rose to play a major role in the freedom of his people and also became president of one of the leading African nations calls for sober reflection.”

He also noted that he resigned honourably.’ And after his coming to Imo where he spoke against the killings of Nigerians in South Africa, the situation came under control to a large extent. Zuma came to Imo to partner Rochas Foundation College for Africa. He didn’t come for politics. And even after his departure as President, he would still go ahead to make his contributions to the education of the less privileged children in Africa..
