Congress will win the polls in Anambra State next year and the
South-East in 2015 general elections.
The governor spoke through his Special Assistant on Media (Print), Mr.
Ebere Uzoukwa, after a meeting with his political associates on
Saturday.
Uzoukwa, who described Okorocha as the beautiful bride in the APC
merger said, "He remains a brand well respected by the Igbo owing to
his uncommon leadership qualities, and as such APC will definitely win
Anambra in 2014 and other South-East states in 2015."
According to him, Okorocha, who is coordinating the APC activities in
the South-East, has started putting the necessary structures on the
ground toward strengthening the party for victory in the forthcoming
elections in the zone.
On the controversy surrounding the All Progressives Grand Alliance's
involvement in the merger, Uzoukwa said, "The real APGA people,
otherwise known as APGA-APGA, are part of the merger, while the
APGA-PDP led by our brother, the Anambra State governor, Peter Obi,
will join later."
He added, "We really understand his (Obi) predicament and as an
appointee of President Goodluck Jonathan, you do not expect him to
declare open support to whatever move that is targeted at sacking the
People's Democratic Party. However, the spirit of Governor Obi is with
us in APC and at the appropriate time, his body, which is presently
with the PDP, will definitely join the spirit in APC."
Okorocha's associates at the meeting, in a unanimous vote, endorsed
the governor's involvement in the merger, describing the move as
"visionary, timely and an important step towards dislodging the PDP
and making APC a household name in Imo State and the South-East".
