Okorocha’s Son-in-law, Husband Of Former Commissioner For Happiness, Defects To PDP
Engr Chucks Ololo, a brother-in-law of former Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, has dumped the All Progressives Congress, APC, for Labour Party (LP) to help realise the 2023 presidential aspiration of Peter Obi.
GWG.NG reports that Ololo was a 2019 governorship aspirant on the platform of the APC and is related to Okorocha through his marriage to the former governor’s sister, Ogechi Ololo who was also appointed by the penultimate governor of Imo State as commissioner for happiness.
Ololo who said that he was defecting with 5,000 of his supporters to Labour vowed to ensure that the agenda Obi has for Nigeria comes to pass through his election.
“We have been monitoring what is happening in our beloved nation, Nigeria, and there are some issues that bordered on security and economy. For these, human capital development has gone down.
“A lot of us were witnesses to a time when things were thriving, and we were hoping that things would change, but over time, it got worse and worse. And today, there is no doubt that things are bad, and there is a need for some of us to wake up to reality and look for solutions.
“And I see Labour Party among all the parties as the one that can provide the solution. Only Labour Labour Party has the right candidate with the capacity and credibility to drive Nigeria back on the path of progress.”
He continued, “so I am joining Labour Party today intending to fully support the party in delivering Mr. Peter Obi and other party’s candidates across all levels. I am here to work with the party to salvage our country because I strongly believe that the soul of Nigeria is in the lands of the Labour Party.”
