Okorie spoke on Saturday at the campaign office of one of the leading governorship aspirants of APC, Sir Azuka Okwuosa, at the Udoka housing estate in Awka
He said the Igbo presidency project was important to Ndigbo, adding that it was the reason why APC must capture Anambra on November 6.
“This is a serious business and we insist on the democratic primary in APC to bring an acceptable person like Okwuosa for the election.
“We collapsed UPP to join APC to move the country forward. I have entered APC long ago in spirit. In 2018, NEC held a meeting and supported President Muhammadu Buhari, so that he could complete his eight-year term for power to shift to Igbo. Some understood and some didn’t.
“We are hopeful that with Buhari’s completion, everyone is driving for Igbo now. We have long been allies of Okwuosa. He joined us to go to Daura to support Buhari.
“We are alive so we can always tell the truth and be touch bearers to those who haven’t seen the light. We decided that UPP will collapse to APC. We are here because of Okwuosa who has paid his dues in political apprenticeship,” Okorie said.
He said he knew the APC aspirant in the 90s through late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, adding that he would relocate to Anambra to fight for him
Addressing APC stakeholders, Okwuosa, said the party must get things right to win the election.
