Fast U-turn by His Excellence Rochas Okorocha OON

His Excellency, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, immediately after his return from Lagos for the APC national primaries, has reclaimed his governorship ticket from Hon. Uche Nwosu (his son in-law) who was affirmed on Monday night before the depature of his Excellency to Lagos as the Imo state governorship candidate under the party of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Our correspondent, Saint tells us more: A few hours after losing his bid for the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential ticket, Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha on Thursday night picked the governorship ticket.

Okorocha’s son-in-law also the Commissioner for Lands and Urban Planning, Chief Uche Nwosu, who was said to have been adopted as the governorship candidate, announced his withdrawal from the race. Nwosu said, quote “party’s interest supersedes personal ambition.”

He enjoined members to give same support and solidarity to Okorocha, who was nominated in absentia as he was in Lagos where the party’s national convention was held.

Speaking before the ratification of Okorocha’s candidature, the Chairman of the Electoral Committee, Mr. John Alamba, said the party had the power to substitute any candidate, who withdrew from the race. "A few days ago, we gathered here to elect Chief Nwosu as the APC governorship candidate, but I was in Lagos when I learnt that the candidate had resigned on personal grounds". We are gathered here today to ratify Governor Okorocha as the party’s governorship candidate,” the panel chairman said.

This is indeed a fast U-turn.
Management of O'towntrends says thanks to Owelle for the return.

Also ask, was this an underground deal which  Hon. Uche Nwosu accepted before he was nominated initially as aspirant? Or did he really do it willingly as he stated "party’s interest supersedes
personal ambition.”
