The chairman of
APC Governors Forum and governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, said the only
condition that would make him not indicate interest to run for the Presidency
was if President Buhari was running.
“No, my President is
very democratic. If Mr President wants to run for election, he will follow all
the processes and if he is the person, we will all support him.
“In APC, there is no
imposition of candidates. If Buhari is running, I will allow that man to
continue but if he is not running, I …”, he stopped halfway, laughing.
On concerns that
Buhari’s administration was made up of elements of the opposition Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, Okorocha, said the trend had to change.
He said: “It is
not that PDP people are running this government but that they are the ones with
the major plum jobs which if it were the PDP, they would not have allowed it
one bit and they are getting fattened and ready to fight us politically.
“Remember, your
political enemy cannot love you politically. So, we must address our issues and
make sure that everything is working smoothly and that the APC people hold
great positions on the boards to give them confidence and a sense of belonging.
That is what we are asking for.”
