Gov. Rochas Okorocha of Imo has said that the decision of Dr Bukola Saraki,President of the Senate, to leave the All Progressives Congress (APC) will not in anyway affect the party electoral victory in 2019 general elections.
He stated this while speaking with newsmen at the party’s national secretariat on Tuesday in Abuja in reaction to the development.
Okorocha, who is also the chairman of the All Progressives Governor’s Forum, spoke after a closed-door meeting with Mr Adams Oshiomhole the party’s National Chairman.
“I don’t know when they joined the party and I don’t have to know when they are leaving the party.
“People are entitled to their opinions about how they see issues, political party is just like a vehicle with which you get to your point of destination.
“And if they find out that they can no longer get what they want in APC and they want to go to other parties, it is good luck.
“But the question you should ask me, is how that will affect the APC, I don’t see any way it can affect the party negatively,” Okorocha said.
He maintained that President Muhammadu Buhari would win the 2019 presidential election even without the Senate President in the party.
Okorocha said this was especially so because Buhari was much stronger on ground now and would do better than he did before in terms of electoral victory come 2019.
