KANU VOWS TO TRUNCATE GOV. OKOROCHA’S ‘THIRD TERM’ BID
Business mogul, Prince Daniel Kanu, has accused the Imo state
Governor, Rochas Okorocha of seeking a third term in office through the back
door, vowing to use the platform of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA),
to truncate such ambition.
Kanu, speaking after picking up his nomination and expression of
interest forms on Thursday in Abuja, lamented what he described as the growing
nepotism associated with Okorocha’s administration.
He said: “The election has already conducted itself because I
believe that our people are very democratically-driven. The current governor
was elected in 2011 and he defeated a sitting governor then under the PDP and
it was done through APGA and we the people made it happen.
“Again, we are going to ensure that it happens again in 2019 by
defeating the current governor in Imo state who is running by proxy. His time
has ran out but he does not want to quit. He wants a third term through the
back door by installing his son in law and we, the people are going to resist
that.
“We must bring Imo state out of its present quagmire and I believe
I have all it takes to do that. As an activist, I believe in the salvation of
the people. My past speaks for me.
“Currently, there is lawlessness in Imo state and where there is
no rule of law, respect for human rights or feelings or dignity of the human
person, then life itself would have lost its meaning. I believe that Imo state
needs the rule of law at this time, respect for people, the salvation of the
people from their present strife that they are facing, homelessness,
hopelessness and all that,” he stated.
