- According to the governor, the success story of Imo state would not be complete without the outstanding role of Nwosu

The governor of Imo state, Rochas Okorocha, has said that he is convinced his son-in-law would be a better governor than he is once he assumes power in 2019.

Okorocha said Uche Nwosu who he has anointed to replace him knows all the secret to the success story of his role as a governor in the state, the Nation reports.

While speaking at a stakeholders meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Mbaitoli Local government council of Imo state, Okorocha said, the story of the achievements of the Rescue Mission Government in the state would not be complete without the outstanding role of Nwosu.

"There is no project of this administration that Uche Nwosu didn’t make contribution in terms of ideas and dedication to see the Project completed. He knows the secret behind all the successes we have recorded. He knows how we have done all we have achieved without complaining of paucity of fund like those before us had done," Okorocha said.

He added that: “If I allow any of these people aspiring to become governor in 2019 to take over, it won’t be long before Imo people would begin to regret my exit because I know the sacrifices we have made to achieve all these as a government."

But for Uche Nwosu, he knows the whole secret and I have no doubt, he would do better than me. And when that happens Imo people may begin to forget me. But I want him to do better than me," he said.

NAIJ.com earlier reported that Okorocha challenged the Imo Catholic Archbishop of Owerri Diocese, Anthony Obinna, over the governorship candidature in the state.

He said Archbishop Obinna will fail in his alleged plot to install a governor on the platform of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in the state in 2019.

Okorocha noted that since the cleric could not succeed in his attempt to make APGA win the governorship election in 2015, he will still loose in 2019 and subsequent attempts.
