March 24, (THEWILL) – Former Governor of Imo State, Senator Rochas Okorocha, has denied the adoption of any candidate for the November 2023 governorship election in the State.
A release signed by his Special Adviser, Media, Sam Onwuemeodo, distanced the ex-Governor from the purported adoption of a particular aspirant in one of the political parties for the November 2023, gubernatorial election.
He said, “Some inexperienced media aides of some other aspirants have continued to leverage on this story of adoption to pinch the distinguished Senator, without finding out whether the adoption story was real or otherwise”
Onwuemeodo said “if by tomorrow, it becomes necessary that he should act on the November election as the case may be, he would not hesitate to do so”, adding that it would equally be in the overall interest of the State and her people.
He, therefore, urged the general public to disregard the adoption speculation, describing it as a moonlight tale.
“And for some of the aspirants allowing their media aides to be hiding under the false adoption story to be attacking Okorocha, our candid advice is that they should not begin something they do not have the capacity to do and in which they would also be at the receiving end in the final count,” he said.
