Imo Governorship: I’ve Not Adopted Any Aspirant – Says Senator Okorocha

In a statement signed by his media aide, Sam Onwuemeodo, the distinguished Senator said, “For sometime now, the story has been trending, especially on social media platforms, that the former governor of lmo State and Senator representing lmo West Senatorial District, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, has adopted a particular aspirant in one of the political parties for the November 2023, governorship election in the State”.

“Some inexperienced “media aides” of some other aspirants have continued to leverage on this story of adoption to pinch the Distinguished Senator, without finding out whether the adoption story was real or otherwise.”

“The real story is that, Okorocha has not, in any way adopted any gubernatorial aspirant in the State as we write or speak, for the November 2023 election.”

“However, if by “tomorrow or next”, the  need arises or it becomes necessary or imperative that he should act or speak  on the November election or on those involved as the case may be,  he would not hesitate to do so. And that would equally be in the overall interest  of the State and her people.”

“That would also be in the open or would be made public and would obviously not be a matter of speculation or hearsay.”

“ln other words, the public should disregard or jettison the adoption tale. lt’s a moonlight tale.”

“And for some of the aspirants, allowing their “media aides” to be hiding under the false adoption story to be attacking Okorocha, our candid advice is that they should not begin “something” they do not have the capacity to do and in which they would also be at the receiving end in the final count. Thank you!”
