The governor of Imo state, Rochas Okorocha, has said that there is nothing capable of stopping his in-law, Uche Nwosu, from succeeding in his governorship ambition.
Okorocha said Nwosu's emergence as a governor in the state come 2019 has already been ordained by God. The governor through his chief press secretary, Sam Onwuemeodo also said that 24 out of the 27 local government areas in Imo state are in support of Nwosu's ambition.

The governor's reaction followed claims that Nwosu, who is currently the chief of staff to Okorocha, supervised the assault on a Catholic Archbishop of Owerri, Most Reverend Anthony Obinna.
Describing his son in-law as a child of destiny, Okorocha said: “This time, it is Uche Nwosu because they have seen that he is the man for 2019 with God on our side. And no amount of blackmail or tricks would change the plan of God on the young man to govern the state.
"It takes someone alive in the things of the spirit to know that Uche Nwosu is a ‘child of destiny.’ He has the divine mark; and anyone fighting him is fighting his God. And no one can battle with God.

“We do not intend to bore our audience with a lengthy story to show the reason behind this latest blackmail or onslaught until Archbishop Obinna himself talks on the claim.
“However, we say this for posterity. Imo people, including youths, students, men and women have thrown their unalloyed support behind the youthful chief of staff, Uche Nwosu, for the 2019 governorship in the state.
"He has become the subject-matter as long as that issue is concerned, with APC officials and leaders from 24 out of the 27 local governments in the state having already endorsed him for 2019."
