Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha has reacted to some reports in the media that the deputy speaker of the House of Representatives, Emeka Ihedioha has said he (Ihedioha) has been endorsed by Senator Arthur Nzeribe to become the governor of the state in 2015.
In his response yesterday while addressing journalists at the State House, Okorocha said does not wish to ever be endorsed by the politician who still remains the longest serving lawmaker in the history of the state.
He explained that Nzeribe is not known to have supported a credible and masses oriented candidate throughout his political career, describing his present political style as old fashioned.
“I pray that Nzeribe does not endorse me because he is a bad news. He has never been known to endorse anybody in a better way, his song is old fashioned and no longer in vogue. For those who have retired,may their political soul rest in peace,” Okorocha stated.
Okorocha also maintained that leadership comes from God and not from man, adding that his destiny can never be changed by any man if at all he opts to run for a second term.
It would be recalled that Ihedioha, during his consultation visit to Oguta, the country home of Nzeribe at the weekend, received his blessings and endorsement to run for the governorship of the state in 2015.
