Imo women protest Okorocha’s suspension

Hundreds of Imo women of the All Progressives Congress (APC) extraction on Saturday took to the streets to protest the suspension of the state governor, Rochas Okorocha by the APC National Working Committee led by Adams Oshiomhole.

The protesting women led by the State party Woman leader, Theresa Ohanuha, insisted that the suspension be reversed immediately or they will be compelled to institute legal action against the party.

According to some of the women who also spoke with journalists, Gertrude Oduka, Henrietta Jacobs and Josephine Udorji, noted that the suspension will do more harm than good to the party and should not be allowed to stand.

They said, “We feel aggrieved because of the injustice meted on our leader, Owelle Rochas Anayo Okorocha. We demand that APC National Working Committee should revisit it and resist Oshiomhole’s confusion that he has been visiting on the party across the country. He should resign because he is not worthy to be a leader of our party.

“We have plans of making sure the APC that Okorocha brought in Imo State must remain strong. We are going to resist attempts to destroy APC in Imo”.

The aggrieved women also warned that, “we may be forced to go to court to challenge this injustice. We are not going to relent. We are going all out to make sure that this suspension is reversed”.
