Stop Living in Fool’s Paradise, APGA Tells Okorocha

• Your rescue slogan visionless, rudderless – APGA tells Okorocha

The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has asked the Imo State Governor, Chief Rochas Okorocha, not to delude himself that the people are happy with his performance.

In a statement issued on Sunday by APGA’s National Director of Publicity, Mr. Ifeanacho Oguejiofor, the party described the governor’s rescue mission slogan as nothing but “visionless and rudderless, that needs to be truly rescued from crass ineptitude and gross maladministration.”

The party said its attention had been drawn to the self-serving and personal glorification interview granted by Okorocha in which he made disparaging and caustic remarks  against APGA, adding that the party was more than just a political association which nobody can wish away, not even the governor.

While cautioning the governor to mind his negative utterances against APGA, the party said its formation  was deep rooted, strong, invincible and made up of a mass movement of true democrats and progressives, which nobody can conquer or destroy.

It said instead of the governor to be eternally grateful to APGA which emancipated him from “his aeon of political bondage, years of unrealised electoral contestation and long gallivanting political  wilderness, which his personal quest for power made him to traverse, he chose to commit sacrilege against the party and poured insult on the sensibilities of those APGA faithful and supporters.

“The party is advising  Okorocha to stop living in fool’s paradise, as his governance anchored on “Rescue Mission” is nothing but visionless and rudderless, that needs to be truly rescued from crass ineptitude and gross maladministration,” it said

The statement said it is a common knowledge that the government of Imo state led by Okorocha lacks the basic managerial skills and ideas on how to govern a state like Imo State, which is richly endowed with both great intellectuals and huge material resources.

“APGA therefore urges him to go to Anambra State for a tutorial on how to govern a modern state and on how to harness the various abundant potentialities in Imo State.

“The  Imo State governor should be told in case he pretends not to be aware, that Imo people are generally disappointed in his awkward style of administration, which caters only to the needs and desires of his in-laws, relations and business partners with his self-deceptive slogan of “my people, my people” instead of “my in-laws, my business partners”, which is a baptismal reference of his kind of governance of Imo State.

“Moreover, the man who is at the helm of affairs in Douglas House who is politically naïve should know that governance is not about how loquacious, garrulous, sophistry and theatrical a governor chooses to be, but how he can positively impact on the welfare and lives of the hoi polloi, which is what the Imo people are in dire need of now, instead of his junketing around.

“He should know that the present national leadership of the party led by Victor Ike Oye, is painstakingly revitalising, reinvigorating and repositioning the party, for a strong presence and quick march to take its due political space and position in the body politic, so as to liberate the marginalised and the downtrodden people of Nigeria.”
