However, I must state categorically clear that since the 2016 re-run elections that brought me back to the IMHA, I have had nothing in common with the Senator till date, even though by the virtues of Local Government Area is my brother and I can’t deny that fact”.

Hon Nzeruo further opined that in Imo State, Governor Rochas Okorocha is the leader of APC, and as such has nothing against the Governor, talk more of working with the Senator against the “State Chief Executive”.

He further warned rumor mongers and his blackmailers to desist from such dastard acts, pointing out that APC is a National Party which none of the rumor peddlers would destabilize.

Similarly, he charged all to close ranks and work harmoniously for the progress and victory of the party ahead of 2019.
