Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has not gotten over the shock of losing the likes of Governors Samuel Ortom, Aminu Tambuwal and Abdulfatah Ahmed to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The governor expressing his pains lamented that; “We had wished that none of them, especially the governors, had left the party. We had wished, and it pains us so much.”
“The pain is because they had associated and related together as brothers. All of a sudden, you don’t see one of your own; we feel it.”
“The governors defection had no negative effect whatsoever on the APC. Within one week, people had forgotten and we have forged ahead.”
It is no longer news that Rochas Okorocha’s counterparts; Gov. Samuel Ortom of Benue State; Gov. Abdulfatah Ahmed of Kwara State and Gov. Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State have all dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to join the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
