2019: Imo lawmakers endorse Okorocha’s son-in-law for governor

Uche Nwosu, the son-in-law of Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State, has been endorsed to succeed his father-in-law in 2019.
The endorsement was given by the House of Assembly on Saturday.
Nwosu, who is currently the Chief of Staff to Okorocha, was described as the most qualified for the job.
The Chairman of the House Committee on Petroleum, Imo State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission and Niger Delta Development Commission, Henry Ezediaro, who spoke on behalf of his colleagues, said Nwosu was the most qualified to take over from Okorocha.
Addressing a news conference in Owerri, he said: “After meeting with members of the House of Assembly, we, irrespective of party affiliations, have endorsed Ugwumba Uche Nwosu.
“We urge him to contest the poll.
“If he does, we will support him to be the governor in 2019.
“On behalf of the lawmakers, we want to use this medium to appeal to the governor and thank him for his free education policy in the state, but without Uche Nwosu, the policy may die and that is why we want him to continue from where he will stop.”
