APC Governors In SECRET Plot To SACK Okorocha ...You'll Be Shocked Why

Daily Trust - State governors elected on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) want to remove Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha as chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF) and replace him with a second term governor from the South West, a source very close to one of them told Daily Trust on Sunday in Abuja at the weekend. The two second term APC governors from the South West are Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State and his Ogun State counterpart, Ibikunle Amosun. One of them is being touted to replace Okorocha though it is not certain which one of them the governors will settle for.

According to the source, the APC governors are not happy with Okorocha, who they said has failed to provide a proper sense of direction to their forum. He said, “Rochas is only interested in the ceremonial aspects of being APC governors’ chairman. At any public event, especially at the State House or where the president or vice president is present, he is in a hurry to assert himself as the PGF chairman and position himself close to the president or vice president for a photo op. But that is as far as his chairmanship goes. He is not interested in charting a clear program for the forum, in harmonising the views of his colleagues or in making the forum an important player in the scheme of things. Even the opposition PDP Governors’ Forum has a higher profile and more political relevance than the APC Governors Forum. It is for these and many other reasons that they want to change him.”

He denied that the move is a ploy by South West APC governors to snatch leadership from Okorocha, the only APC governor in the South East. He also said it is not part of 2019 jockeying for power. He said, “At a time when our ruling party is facing many leadership problems, such as the ineffectiveness of the national leadership and the continuous tussle between the Presidency and the APC-controlled Senate, APC governors could play an important role in filling the vacuum and reuniting the party behind a common ideal. However, they are unable to do so because their forum’s chairman is even less effective than the national secretariat.”

The source could not say when the APC governors are likely to make their move against Okorocha, but he hinted that it could be soon. State governors in Nigeria have many forums, including the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF), the umbrella body for all of them. It is currently headed by Zamfara State Governor Abdul-Aziz Yari Abubakar. In addition there is PGF headed by Okorocha, PDP Governors Forum headed by Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose, Northern States Governors Forum (NSGF) headed by Borno State Governor Kashim Shettima, South West Governors Forum headed by Oyo State Governor Abiola Ajimobi, South East Governors Forum headed by Ebonyi State Governor Dave Umahi and South South Governors Forum, once headed by former governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State.  

Reacting, the Chief Press Secretary to Imo State Governor, Sam Onwuemeodo, said the governor was doing what he was supposed to do in the area of bringing the PGF to relevance as demanded by the duties of the chairman. 

He said the chairman had always intervened alongside other governors to resolve issues between the executive and the legislature.

He said that since the federal government had set up a committee headed by the Vice President to look into the issue with a view to finding an amicable solution, there was no way the governor would bypass the Vice President.

APC In Disarray As Osinbajo, 21 Governors, Others Boycott Party Meeting ...Okorocha, Bello, Yari Stranded

By The Authority

A crucial meeting called by the All Progressives Con­gress Governors’ Forum (APC-GF), was shunned by the Acting President Yemi Osinbajo and 21 of the 24 state governors elected on the party’s platform.

The Imo State Gover­nor, Rochas Okorocha who spoke on the botched meet­ing blamed the development on the inability of Osinbajo to attend the forum.

The APC National As­sembly Caucus, the Na­tional Working Committee (NWC) and other stakehold­ers were also expected at the meeting, but most of them did not show up.

The party leaders were expected to deliberate on the 2017 budget at the parley slated for the Musa Yar’Adua Centre in Abuja.

Before the forum was cancelled, the Deputy Gov­ernor of Plateau State, Son­ni Tyoden and the Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, left the venue after waiting for almost an hour.

Okorocha, who is the chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), lat­er arrived at the venue in the company of his Zamfara State counterpart, Abdul Aziz Yari .

They left the venue af­ter they were convinced that about 21 governors and ma­jority of the NASS Caucus had boycotted the meeting.

Sources close to the APC Governors’ Forum blamed the cancellation of the meeting on poor planning, regretting that only three of 24 governors, a few members of the National Assembly and federal govern­ment representatives showed up for it.

But sources at the APC claimed that the governors and National Assembly mem­bers were duly informed of the meeting, just as the APC-NWC were notified on time, arguing that the decision of the stakeholders to shun the meeting was a proof that peace had remained elusive in the party.

Speaking with journalist at the venue, Okorocha, who ar­rived an hour behind sched­ule, said the absence of Osi­banjo was responsible for the rescheduling of the meeting, insisting that they wanted him to be physically present.

According to him, “We wanted the Acting President to be here in person. This pro­gramme coincided with oth­er programmes because there are lots of questions that might come up that require nation­al answers.

“Most of the legislators; the Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representa­tives are also engage in other programmes.

“Only last Friday, most governors left for their states to come back on Monday, but it was not convenient. The dis­patched messages couldn’t get to them, some had come and some did not get the invita­tion. So, we agreed we should shift it to next week,” Okoro­cha stated.

In his reaction, House of Representatives Majority Leader, Hon. Femi Gbajabi­amila, attributed the resched­uling of the meeting to the desire of the conveners to get things right, adding that the agenda contained national is­sues that must be discussed by the majority of stakeholders

Ondo Election Conundrum: Aggrieved Mimiko, Akeredolu Strikes Deal In Secret Meeting With Okorocha, Plots Tinubu's AD Fall

Aggrieved incumbent governor of the state, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, is reported to be holding talks with the candidate of the APC, Chief Rotimi Akeredolu, ThisDay Newspaper reports

Mimiko and his preferred choice, Prof. Eyitayo Jegede (SAN), have been having a running legal battle with businessman Jimoh Ibrahim over the ticket of the PDP. Mimiko has reportedly told the PDP supporters not to join the Alliance for Democracy (AD) if the legal fireworks did not favour Jegede before the November 26 governorship election.

It was learnt that in order to firm up the arrangement, Mimiko held a preliminary meeting with the Chairman of the APC Governors’ Forum and Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha on Tuesday.

The meeting, which had the APC candidate, Chief Rotimi Akeredolu (SAN), in attendance, took place at the Akure Airport.

Although no firm commitment was reached, Mimiko assured the duo of Okorocha and Akeredolu that if after the court processes Jegede did not fly, he would deploy his forces to back the APC candidate, source close to the Ondo State governor confided in our source

Said a Mimiko source: “It is true they met but not as people are speculating that Mr. Governor has already committed himself to the Akeredolu project. We are still confident we will win the mandate back. But if at the end of the day because of lack of time it happens that Jegede cannot fly, we have been told what to do.

“The governor and even those of us supporting Jegede believe that it is an insult for Tinubu to come from Lagos and install Iroko’s successor. It is an aberration we will fight, so rather than allow that, Iroko will be the one to swing support for Akeredolu to win because Ondo State belongs to us.”

Imo State Government Accounts FROZEN

Avowed APC Candidate To Succeed Ekweremadu As Deputy Sen. President Wins Imo North Senatorial Rerun

Mr. Ben Uwajumogu who was earlier this week avowed by Imo State Governor Rochas Owelle Okorocha that he would succed the embattled Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu has been declared the winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of Imo North Senatorial District rerun election held on July 28.

Ekweremadu and his boss, Bukola Saraki, with two national assembly staffs are currently facing corruption charges bothering on forgery of Senate Standing Order.

Uwajumogu scored 56,076 votes to defeat Mr Athan Achonu of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who scored 43, 815 votes. Prof. Arinze Agbogu, the INEC Returning Officer for Imo North Senatorial District, who announced the result in the early hours of Friday, said the outcome was a summation of scores of July 23 and that of July 28 exercise.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalled that Uwajumogu, had scored 48,921 on July 23, while Achonu, of the PDP, scored 40, 142 votes which made INEC to declare the rerun inconclusive.

Agbogu said that available data before him showed that Uwajumogu had majority of lawful votes cast, and therefore returned elected for the Imo North Senatorial District.

Similarly, INEC declared Mr Nkenna Nzeruo of the APC winner of Oru East State Constituency, while Mr Collins Chiji also of APC was declared winner for Isiala Mbano State Constituency.

The two state constituencies’ elections were equally declared inconclusive due to reported cases of violence that marred the exercise in some communities in the two areas on July 23.

Uwajumogu told journalists in Owerri that he was highly elated over the victory, adding “my gratitude goes more to Gov. Rochas Okorocha whose structure helped me to win this senatorial election’’.

Meanwhile, the Imo State Governor,  Okorocha has said the Deputy Senate president, Ike Ekweremadu would soon be ousted from office with the assured victory of the All Progressive Congress(APC) in the Imo North Senatorial re- run poll held last Saturday, but declared inconclusive

This was as he slammed the Deputy Senate president for relocating to Imo state during the election.

The Imo state Governor , who spoke  through his Chief Press Secretary, Sam Onwuemeodo, stated  that the position of Senator Ike Ekweremadu as the Deputy Senate president is at the moment under heavy threat as the APC Senator in the waiting from Imo State Benjamin Uwajumogu will take over the seat as it is an aberration that a PDP senator from the South-East is deputy to an APC Senate President because, before now, APC could not produce a senator from the South-East zone.

According  to Okorocha , “Senator Ekweremadu had known that such development was not only feasible but inevitable and that was why he fully funded the candidate of the PDP in the re-run senatorial poll in Okigwe zone and also re-located to the state three days to the election date.

He added , the victory of the APC in the re-run poll for Okigwe senatorial zone is a victory for the whole of South-East APC in particular and the people of the geo-political zone in general”.

He alleged that the PDP in the state had never won any election since 2003, but had written results for themselves using intimidation and harassment to achieve their goal of producing results and forcing INEC to declare them winners on the basis of the false results.

However, he noted that with the results recorded  in the last Saturday’s re-run election in the affected areas only shows the new spirit of APC in the state where Benjamin Uwajumogu is leading with  8,000 votes even though the election was declared inconclusive.

Meanwhile, Ekweremadu in a sreaction said the Imo State governor is on a wild goose chase. In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media, Mr Uche Anichukwu, the Deputy Senate President  he was not bothered by the “wishful” prospect of an APC senator from the South East.

Ekweremadu said contrary to the allegation by Okorocha  that he was in Imo State  during the rerun poll so as to influence the result,  he was actually in his constituency for his annual Ikeoha Scholarship and Bursary Awards/Adult Literacy Day same day the rerun poll held, noting that the last time he visited Imo was in 2015.

He  wondered how Okorocha would be able to appoint a deputy senate president for the Senate, when he could secure any principal office for any of the two House of Representatives members in Imo State.

“The Deputy President of the Senate visited Imo State for the last time in 2015. It is also instructive that the governor’s claim comes on the heels of another statement by some All Progressives Congress (APC) elements in Ezeagu Local Government Area on Sunday where they whined bitterly over the huge solidarity shown by the good people, stakeholders, and traditional rulers of Enugu State to Senator Ekweremadu during his annual Ikeoha Scholarship and Bursary Awards/Adult Literacy Day at the Council headquarters on the same Saturday, June 23, 2016.

“For the same party to also claim that the same Ekweremadu who was empowering his people at Ezeagu in a well reported event on the same Saturday was also in in Imo State at the same time to influence election is just another showcase of the buffet of lies, deceit, and confusion that has become the order of the day in the ruling party”.

“The Senate has a ranking rule, and if Okorocha was not able to secure a principal office, even Deputy Majority Whip for the two House of Representatives Members from Imo State, it is left to imagination how he would be able to appoint a Deputy President for the Senate. He is on a wild goose chase”.

He advised the Imo governor and APC leaders in the South East  to “preoccupy themselves with ending the invasions and killings by purported herdsmen, gross marginalization of Ndigbo in the distribution of opportunities and the blessings of democracy as well as the worrisome trend of inconclusive elections”.

Senator Ike Ekweremadu is facing Senate Standing  Order forgery trial with the President of the Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki and tow other officials of the national assembly.

Could this poster be from these governors?

Does this mean President Muhammadu Buhari already resolved not to run a second term or the duo are poised to give Buhari a fight for the party ticket?

Governor Owelle Roshas Okorocha has joined those lambasting the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, which he belongs as the Governor of Imo State and doubles as Chairman of APC Governors' Forum; saying the party not managing its victory well.

Okorocha stated this during a media chat with newsmen in Owerri, the Imo State Capital on Sunday.

The governor who was economical of his opinion refused to expatiate further but said, “All Progressives Congress, APC, is a good party by all standards. But my regret is that we are not managing our victory very well.”

He, however, commented on President Muhammadu Buhari’s one year in office, saying: “I have no doubt in my mind that the old man (Buhari) will succeed. All I pleaded with Buhari to capture in the current fiscal year are in the budget. I want to assure Ndigbo that all that are due to us will definitely get to us.”

On workers’ salaries being owed in his state since February, Okorocha said he was very comfortable with the 70:30 ratio agreement with labour, adding, if workers refused their salaries, he would use it to carry out projects.

He also noted, that: “Pension and internally generated revenue, IGR, are serious problems for me. Only recently, I ordered all the Board of Internal Revenue officers to go on leave, but they have written to say it was unconstitutional to ask all officers to go on leave.”
