“Hope Uzodinma joined them lately. They decided to use him because they saw him as a strong person, being a sitting senator.
“The whole thing is about my 2023 presidential ambition. They want to shut out any Igbo man who is strong politically from the 2023 presidential race. But despite the gang up, I must contest for President in 2023.”
Okorocha added that there are forces against his move to get into Senate in 2019 and that his intentions in the office is to make a positive change.
“There is a conspiracy to stop me from going to the Senate. Hope Uzodinma has joined Senator Osita Izunaso. There is an alliance with Jones Onyereri. They will use security agencies to stop me. I am going to the Senate to make a positive difference,” he said.
