Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma has charged former Governor Rochas Okorocha to stop playing to the gallery and make bold his decision to leave the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Uzodimma, who insisted that his predecessor had long left the APC, gave Okorocha the advice in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary and Media Adviser, Oguwike Nwachukwu yesterday.

Okorocha had through his media aide, Sam Onwuemeodo, on Tuesday, accused Uzodimma of blackmailing him out of the ruling party.
But the governor insisted that Okorocha’s recent actions, activities and utterances continued to expose his intentions to defect from the APC.

He added that it was obvious that Okorocha would rather leave the APC than remain in the same party with him, having rejected the olive branch he had extended to him.
“The truth is that Okorocha had long left the APC without the knowledge of some of his aides like Onwuemeodo
“For a man with a history of junketing from one political party to another, discerning minds know that Okorocha’s days in the APC were numbered the moment he failed to foist his political son, Uche Nwosu, on Imo people in a bid to sustain his political hegemony.
“If there is any politician in Imo APC, who does not want Uzodimma to be in the same party with him, it is Okorocha and he has not hidden his disdain for the incumbent governor,” the statement reads.
