Imo people have spoken with one voice. They want change and that change is Owelle Rochas Okorocha.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He explained that his support for Mr. Rochas Okorochas stemmed from what the people were passing through in the state, as well as what Rochas had done for the people through his foundation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel for the people of the state and I believe that if elected, Rochas will bring succour to them,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Comments are moderated.
