Contrary to belief that the leadership of All Progressives Congress, APC, rests on the shoulder of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Imo State Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, has debunked such notion, saying President Muhammadu Buhari is de facto leader of the party.
Okorocha made this holiknown during a parley with newsmen in Owerri on Tuesday; he said the APC cannot have two leaders in a party.
The governor, who is also Chairman of APC Governors’ Forum, said it was high time people stopped having the wrong impression that leadership of the party resides outside the presidency. “It is not true; the president is in charge of the party.”
According to him, “as soon as a president emerges, he becomes leader of the party, just as the governors are leaders of the party in the states, the president is leader of the party in the nation, we cannot have two leaders; we must correct such impression,” he stated
