The Senator representing Imo West Senatorial District, Rochas Okorocha, has dropped a hint on the possibility of an alliance with Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, to form a new political party ahead of the 2023 general elections in the country.
Okorocha spoke at the commissioning of the Rumueche – Rumuakunde – Ohna – Awuse Road in Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers, on the invitation of Wike.
He called for a new political alliance with Wike that would involve like-minded people from the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“There are very bad people in APC and there are very bad people in PDP. So, I think the good people in APC and the good people in PDP must come together for the purpose of making Nigeria great.
“I could imagine where I would join forces with Wike. Governor Wike, this is my hand of friendship. Let us bring all like minds, all great people of Nigeria. Rather than complaining, let us come together to make this country greater and greater as it should be.
“What brought me here today is not a party. What brought me here today is love and friendship. I am not PDP, I am APC. But the time has come when we must break the jinx of party division and begin to embrace brotherhood and friendship and be able to state what is good and what is bad. A bad man is a bad man, even if he is PDP or APC,” he said.
KanyiDaily recalls that the Coalition of Arewa Professionals had endorsed Rochas Okorocha for the office of the President in 2023.
