Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha, on Monday
anointed his son-in-law, Uche Nwosu, to succeed him as governor of the state in
2019.
The governor stated this at a meeting with
members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from Owerri Municipal Council
Area, who visited him at the Government House in Owerri.
The governor said he would support the
governorship ambition of Mr. Nwosu who is currently his Chief of Staff.
Mr. Okorocha said he would support Mr. Nwosu
because he has the qualities of an “ideal leader”.
However, Mr. Okorocha said Mr. Nwosu, who is
married to the governor’s first daughter, Uloma, is yet to inform him of any
governorship ambition.
The governor said the “monumental achievements”
of his administration will not be left in the hand of just any person.
“The Chief of Staff has not told me that he
wants to run for the governorship of the state. But if he comes out I will support
him,” Mr. Okorocha said.
He said he had known Mr. Nwosu for years, and
described him as an honest man who, “whatever he tells you in the morning is
what he will tell you in the evening”.
