Governor of Imo State, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, has said does not regret leaving the party which brought him to power, the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) for the newly registered party All Progressives Congress (APC).
The expulsion of Rochas Okorocha over alleged anti-party activities was announced last Friday by APGA chairman, Chief Victor Umeh.

Reacting to the expulsion while at a town hall meeting of the Imo State Congress of America 2013 national convention in Atlanta, USA, Okorocha said the wellbeing of Ndigbo remained paramount in all his actions, as the APC remained the reputable platform for the actualisation of the political dreams of Ndigbo.“APC remains the best vehicle to promote the interest of our people. PDP has marginalised the southeast and has nothing to show for all its years in power,” Governor Okorocha stated.While urging Igbos to embrace the APC as it guaranteed equity and political opportunities denied by the ruling party, Governor Okorocha said the action of a faction of APGA was of little political consequence as the party lacked the national spread to give the Igbos a political headway.
