Nwosu made this known during an interview with journalist in Imo State while acknowledging supports from the AA party.

According to him, “So far, the response has been encouraging. Action Alliance within few weeks that I moved into the party with my supporters is now the party to beat in the state just because of my presence.

“That brings me back to what I told Oshiomhole earlier. I told him that what makes up a political party is the people, not an individual, hence he cannot impose an individual on the people of Imo and expect them to be part of such party.

“When he refused to listen to a popular wish, I moved to AA and all my supporters who were founding members of APC also moved with me because they felt betrayed by the national chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole.

“They  felt that he imposed a PDP card carrying member on them and that is the highest level of anti-party. So, they didn’t have any option but to join me in AA.

“The people have made it clear that wherever I am. there  they will be and whoever I support for Presidency  is the person they will vote for. The crowd you saw at Dan Anyiam stadium that was over 20,000 comprising women and youths are mainly members of AA and they came to support President Buhari.”

Commenting on his program for the State, he said: “I will sustain the free education embarked upon by Okorocha. I will ensure our secondary schools are computerized so that student can reach out to the world.

“I will ensure teachers are paid as at when due. I will bring back the missionaries in the secondary schools. I will make sure guardian and counseling is brought back in our schools.

“On the health sector, my government will ensure that people from the age of seven are entitled to free medical care. I will bring quality health care to the doorsteps of the people. We shall bring back sanitary inspectors. In the area of agriculture, I will ensure that if Okigwe is good in cashew production, we will empower them, if Orlu is good in rice production, we will encourage them.”
