Muhammadu Buhari arrived in Uyo, capital of Akwa Ibom earlier today for a rally marking the kick-off of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign themed Next Level.

On the President’s entourage are chieftains of the party led by the national chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole; National Leader Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Vice President Yemi Osibanjo and a host of others including some states governors..

Adams Oshiomhole and governor Rochas Okorocha who have been at loggerheads with other over the outcome of the APC governorship primaries in Imo state, appeared to avoid each other and gave themselves distance at the rally holding in Godswill Akpabio International Stadium. 

Okorocha had earlier said his ‘issue’ with Oshiomhole was that he allegedly “stole the mandate” of the people of the state and “gave it away for reasons best known to him.”

The governor stated that the name APC presented as its governorship candidate was not the choice of people of the state. According to Okorocha, Oshiomhole gave the party’s tickets in the state to people who are not members of APC.
