Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha has official defected to the All Progressives Congress.

He made the move yesterday at a rally in Owerri encouraging the people of the state to join him.

Okorocha who was also celebrating his two years in office said joining APC was to guarantee that his people continued to benefit from the dividends of democracy.

Okorocha had said that APC had the potential to push the state nearer to the  “federal eye”.

According to reports, he explained that All Progressives Grand Alliance had engaged in the merger and not in alliance with any party, noting that a two-party system was good for the country’s democracy.

Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State commended Okorocha for his bold move, describing APC as the solution to the notion’s numerous challenges.

Governor Umaru Al-Makura of Nasarawa State described Okorocha as a true democrat, who would not relent in delivering the dividends of democracy to his people.
