The governorship candidate of the Action Alliance (AA) in the last general election in Imo State, Mr. Uche Nwosu, said he has returned to his former party, the All Progressive Congress (APC).
Nwosu who is the son-in-law of former governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, addressed reporters at the Imo airport shortly after his arrival from Abuja at the weekend.
He said the recent Supreme Court judgment which disqualified his candidature in the election on the grounds of double nomination, affirmed that he was still a member of APC.
“The Supreme Court has said all, it said I am the candidate of APC, what it means is that I’m the candidate of APC even though another person was foisted on APC. That aside, I have forgiven everybody, no matter what they have done, from the National Chairman to Gulak, to those in the state; what we need is to move ahead, we are brothers and sisters, there must be peace.

“You can only have one governor in a state and you can only have one final court and that is the Supreme Court – we have to accept it. For me, politics is not a do-or-die affair, it’s give-and-take. The Supreme Court has given its judgement, either good or bad, I have accepted it.
“What matters is Imo State. I’ve said in my statement, whoever wins at the Supreme Court, I will give my support, be it Emeka Ihedioha, Araraume or Uzodinma I will support. But in supporting if you do well, I will praise; if you don’t, we would criticise you,” he stated.
On his next line of action, Nwosu said: “I have no regret at all. It is not my first time of running for a political position. I’m a politician and a town planner by profession. For now, politics is over, pending when there would be another election. I am still a young man and have age to my advantage.”
