Speaking with journalists in Abuja , ahead of his 58 th birthday on Tuesday , Okorocha noted that “there is no more APC , what we have is the respect for President Muhammadu Buhari ”.
During the event , Okorocha’s in -law and 2019 former governorship candidate in Imo State , Uche Nwosu, blamed the former National Chairman of the APC , Adams Oshiomhole, for the party ’s defeat , saying “all he did was to try to muzzle people to accept a candidate they never wanted ”.
“This is not what APC was built on , we expect things to be done the right way but the former chairman , Adams Oshiomhole , believes that anything can come from anywhere without going through the due process ,” he said .
