Anambra Guber Race: Willie Obiano Will Go – Okorocha boasts

Rochas Okorocha and Willie Obiano

 

Imo State governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha has boasted that nothing would stop the All Progressives Congress, APC, from taking over Anambra State in the November 18, 2017 governorship poll, urging the state governor, Chief Willie Obiano to start writing his handover note to an APC governor.

 

Okorocha, who spoke through Dr. Simon Nwulu while inaugurating the Rochas Peoples Movement, RPM, in Anambra State, said the main objective of the movement was to register grassroots presence in every nook and cranny of the state.

 

He said: “The Igbo can no longer belong to regional political parties. We must belong to the mainstream. APC is that place to belong.

 

“Anambra is critical in Igbo politics. So we shall all come down here to deliver the state to the ruling All Progressives Congress. We have the capacity; we have the capability.

 

“APC is the structure for the emancipation of the Igbo nation and no man born of a woman can stop us from taking over Anambra State after the November 18 election.

 

“At any polling unit during the election, at least 63 members of Rochas Peoples Movement will be present to man the units and protect our votes. That will be the magic.

 

“We shall bring the Imo formula  here and by the time we had finished, Obiano and APGA would just pack and go.”

 

He asked the members of the movement to have their voters’ cards handy, saying that would be a major criterion for confirmation of appointments in the next APC government in Anambra State.

 

He also asked ward coordinators of the movement to mobilize APC members to register in the ongoing voter registration exercise for the purpose of the November18 election The Anambra State coordinator of the movement, Chief Olisa Onyeka, thanked Okorocha for coming over to help, saying “You have demonstrated the brother’s keeper spirit with which the Igbo are known for.”

Rarely does one individual impact the world so much that nearly four decades after his death, he continues to influence several generations after him. Thirty six years after his death at the age of thirty six,  Bob Marley  still casts a powerful shadow across music, pop culture and social justice; perhaps like no other musician has done before or after him. On May 11 1981,  Robert Nesta Marley  breathed his last in a Miami hospital having spent the previous four years first ignoring, then fighting the cancer and brain tumour that cut short his life. Born on his grandfather’s farm in the Jamaican country side in 1945 to an eighteen year old girl and a sixty year old British plantation overseer, Bob Marley was a child prodigy who would go on to be the most powerful and most important person in ...

So let’s be the first to tell you that in a couple of weeks, K1 will drop his first ever pop EP titled ‘Fuji: The Sound’.
