There are indications a fresh crisis is brewing
in the All Progressives Congress (APC) and
Rochas Okorocha, the governor of Imo state
is said to be the cause.
Okorocha, who is the leader of APC in the South
East is said to be responsible for submitting a list
of names for the post of Secretary to the
Government of the Federation (SGF) to President
Muhammadu Buhari so he can make a choice.
According to This Day report, Okorocha has
submitted the name of his in-law, Prof. Anthony
Anwuka and two others; Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu and
Senator Chris Ngige to the President.
Governor Rochas Okorocha
Sources in the APC are claiming the governor
only added Onu and Ngige on the list to fulfill all
righteousness as his preferred candidate was
Anwuka.
“You should be aware by now that Rochas has
removed the SSG in Imo State. He replaced him
with his chief of staff and replaced the chief of
staff with his son-in-law (Uche Nwosu) who was
Commissioner for Lands in his first term. He has
sent Anwukas name to Buhari for the post of
SGF ,” a source said.
Recall that Anwuka’s son, Uzo, recently got
married to the daughter of Okorocha in October
2014.
Another source, who spoke on the matter said it
was obvious the governor has not been fair to
the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) that
he took to join them in the APC in the sharing of
key posts.
The source stated: “Buhari is from the defunct
CPC (Congress for Progressives Change), Prof.
Yemi Osinbajo, his deputy is from the defunct
ACN (Action Congress of Nigeria, (John Odigie-
Oyegun was a chieftain of the defunct ANPP (All
Nigeria Peoples Party) while Bukola Saraki came
from the New PDP (Peoples Democratic Party),
so Okorocha believes he is within his rights to
determine who shall be SGF .”
Following his re-election for a second term in
office, Okorocha had dissolved the state’s
executive council and appointed his son-in-law,
Uche Nwosu as his chief of staff. He also sacked
the vice chancellor of the Imo state University,
Prof. Ukachukwu Awuzie.
On June 8, Tuesday, he inaugurated the new
officials , which include the new secretary to the
state government, Sir Jude Ejiogu, chief of staff
of the Government House, Uche Nwosu, chief
press secretary to the governor, Sam
Onwuemeodo and others..
