we gathered here to elect Chief Nwosu as the APC governorship candidate, but I
was in Lagos when I learnt that the candidate had resigned on personal grounds.
We are gathered here today to ratify Governor Okorocha as the party’s

ambition”, and enjoined members to give same support and solidarity to
