Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that the battle of supremacy between Governor Hope Uzodinma and his predecessor, Senator Okorocha is yet to abate as the latter accused the former of blackmailing him.
Okorocha alleged the recent utterance by the youth wing of Ohanaeze Ndigbo claiming that he is not fit to be Nigeria’s president was engineered by Governor Uzodinma to discredit his person.
The senator, however, affirmed that the blackmail against his personality would not stop him from vying for president if he eventually decides.
In another report, Senator Okorocha said Governor Uzodinma is destroying the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.
He said that he boycotted the APC southeast zonal stakeholders meeting which held in the Imo state Government House in Owerri because Uzodinma was indulging in “political jamboree.”
The senator who spoke through his media aide, Sam Onwuemeodo, on Thursday, December 31, said that Uzodinma was demarketing the party in the state.
