Okorocha’s meeting with the president which lasted for
about an hour, came few days after he met the
president in his country home, Daura, Katsina state,
where he complaint about the conduct of the ward
congress of the All Progressives Congress in Imo.
Governor Okorocha, who was accompanied by the former
governor of Edo, Adams Oshiomhole, declined comment on
the outcome of his meeting with the president.
It was gathered that Okorocha might have again lodged a
fresh complaint about the way and manner the ward and
local government APC congresses were conducted in Imo.
On May 7, in Daura, Okorocha told newsmen after closed
door meeting with President Buhari that there was no
ward congress in Imo
He said: “We expect internal democracy and internal
democracy is the way to go. Those kind of funny politics
that were played must stop, where people want to carry
ballot boxes, steal results looks so primitive.
“I intimated Mr President and we will make sure that
such things must stop.”
Okorocha and his supporters also boycotted the local
government APC congress and insisted that a fresh date
for ward congress should be fixed before the local
government congress.
The governor, while addressing his loyalists, announced
that there would be no local government congress in the
state until the crisis of the ward congress was rectified.
The Imo state APC chairman, Hillari Eke, however, said
in Owerri on May 14, that the ward and local government
congresses were concluded successfully in the state.
NAN also recalled that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo had
recently attempted to reconcile the governor with the
rival faction of the APC in Imo.
