Former Imo West Senator Rochas Okorocha has asserted his foundational role in the ruling All Progressives Congress, declaring that he personally coined the party name and will not relinquish his membership to anyone. Okorocha made these assertions while addressing longstanding political tensions and disputes between his camp and the administration of Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma.

During his remarks, the former governor detailed various grievances and security incidents involving members of his family and associates. He recounted past confrontations and questioned the actions taken against his relatives and political loyalists in the state, emphasizing the personal toll and humiliations he claims to have endured within the political sphere.

Okorocha also commented on broader national political dynamics, questioning the electoral capacity of the current state leadership ahead of upcoming political cycles and weighing in on coalition discussions. Despite the fierce political friction and public disagreements with state authorities, the former lawmaker maintained his commitment to remaining within the party structure he claims to have helped establish.
