Former governor of Imo State and Senator of Orlu Zone, Owelle Rochas Okorocha has exploded by indicating that the ruling party may be a goner if certain issues are not addressed.
Okorocha in an interview Trumpeta got online was quoted to have made several revelations that suggest end is near for the party that produced the president.
Suggesting that things have fallen apart in the broom party moments after its candidate lost the governorship seat of Edo State in last weekend’s elections, Okorocha opined that what is still keeping the party together at the moment is the respect for President Muhammadu Buhari, stating that the crisis rocking the party was part of the consequences of relegating the founding members of the party.
Speaking to newsmen in Abuja, Sunday, Okorocha said the APC began to slip downwards when the leadership of the party abandoned the progressive and democratic ideals on which the party was found.
He said apart from President Buhari, other founding leaders of the party that merged to form the party in 2015 were practically schemed out by forces that later joined the party.
“Permit me to give you the inside of APC, this word APC was formed by four major political parties that had governors, one was the CPC led by President Muhammadu Buhari, ACN led by Ahmed Tinubu, ANPP led by Ogbonnaya Onu who all brought their structure, APGA led by me brought in our structure.
“Every other person fell into this structure. The PDP group came in and joined us. I gave the name APC. I designed that logo and that was the beginning of the party and we had understanding.
“That is the party you call APC and unless we go back to where it all started, APC can never see the light of the day and that was how we started and that was what brought the President
“You cannot rule out the role of these four key people, then CPC has only one governor in Nasarawa, APGA had only one governor, ACN came with the chunk of the governors and ANPP had a few. And we shared the first positions equally among these four parties.
“Now the founding fathers of the party are relegated to the backgrounds and people are coming with different interests making us play the same kind of politics that PDP played,” Okorocha said.
He added, “There is no more APC, what we have is the respect for President Muhammadu Buhari that is what is keeping us together. What we have is our respect for the person of President Buhari and we still believe that something can be done.
“That trust and respect is what we still call APC, outside that, respect for President Buhari and the trust and belief that he could wake up one day and correct all these injustices and make it fine.
That is the only thing that is keeping the APC, if not that, I don’t think there is anything like APC because people are beginning to get fed up.
“Again, PDP is not even better, the party has its own challenges” he said
