Home > News > I’ll support my son-in-law for governor –Okorocha Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State said on Monday that despite stiff opposition across the state, he would support his son-in-law, Uche Nwosu, to succeed him as governor in 2019, if he declared interest in the governorship seat.

Nwosu, who is currently the governor’s chief of staff, is married to Okorocha’s first daughter, Ulomma. A statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Sam Onwuemeodo, said the governor made the position known when the leaders of the All Progressives Congress from the Owerri Municipal Council visited him on Monday to urge him to encourage Nwosu to vie for the governorship seat.

Onwuemeodo quoted the governor as saying that Nwosu had not told him that he would run for governor of the state, but that he would support him, if he declared.

“Obviously it might be as a result of these qualities that most people are talking about Uche Nwosu for governor everywhere even when he has not declared for the governorship. It might also be the reason for the endorsement he is getting from all quarters. You see, you don’t hide a good product. And the joy of every leader is to have a worthy successor. You don’t mind political opportunists. We have done very well as a government and we should be concerned about what happens to the achievements after,” the governor was quoted as saying.
