Uche Nwosu, the Chief of Staff to Imo State Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, has said that anyone against his governorship ambition in the state will have “headache”.
Nwosu, who is the son-in-law of the governor, made this known in an interview published by The Punch on Sunday.
The Imo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is currently embroiled in crises over an alleged plot by Okorocha to foist Nwosu on the party.
A group within the party called the Allied Force is championing resistance to the governor’s plot.
The Deputy Governor, Eze Madumere, who also nurses a gubernatorial ambition, is a part of the group which also contains other political heavyweights like Sen. Osita Izunaso, Sen. Ifeanyi Araraume, Benjamin Uwajumogu, and Jude Ejiogu.
Nwosu said, “The allied force members should drop their governorship ambitions. They do not enjoy grass-roots support. It is about saying that you want be the next governor of Imo State.
“The key issue is, what do you have to offer our people? If my ambition to become the next governor is giving them a headache, they will have more headaches.
“My governorship ambition was ordained by God and there is nothing anybody can do about it because you can’t stop what God has approved. It is God that makes a king.
“Fighting my ambition is like fighting God and fire. Even the governor knows that the hand of God is in my governorship project.”
