Gov. Okorocha To Contest For Senate in 2019

Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has officially declared to
run for Orlu zone senatorial seat in 2019.

He made the declaration, at the weekend, while responding to the
call by Orlu Zone Political Leaders who visited him at the
Government House, Owerri, who urged him to contest for the
position.

The governor had, few months ago, given the hint that he might
contest the 2019 election to go to the Senate for Orlu zone but had
remained mum afterwards before his latest declaration before the
elders.

According to a press statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Sam
Onwuemeodo, Governor Okorocha would be contesting the position on
the platform of the All Progressives Congress, (APC).

Governor Okorocha, however, had boasted that he did not need any
campaign or poster to win the election.

According to the statement “And since he made the open
declaration to run for the Senate, there has been high level
excitement across the State and moreover in Orlu Zone since one
good turn deserves another.

“He thanked people of the state and Orlu his zone for loving him
and appreciating all he has done for the state as their governor,
despite criticism from the opposition in the state.”

Dr. Steve Orji, who led the Orlu Zone Political Leaders visit’s
the governor, said that looking at the governor’s monumental
achievements in the state, the Orlu Zone Political Leaders have no
other option than to come and ask him to run for the Senate to
represent the zone.
