The Imo state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has alleged that Governor Rochas Okorocha is planning to rig the next election in favour of his son-in-law, Uche Nwosu.bThe party on Thursday said the governor had advanced plans to rig the next governorship election in favour of Nwosu, who is his current chief of staff.
Addressing a press conference at the party’s secretariat in Owerri, the state capital, the state chairman of the party, Charles Ezekwem, claimed that the party had learnt of the plot and was ready for the governor. Ezekwem said, “We have it on good authority that the APC in Imo state is working assiduously on how to subvert the will of Imo people in 2019, having become very unpopular because of its gross maladministration and record of monumental corruption.
“Its only hope now lies in rigging elections but that cannot happen again. The PDP will put in place a watertight anti-rigging formula that will shock the APC leaders in 2019.”
