Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha has hinted at the direction of the executive director with Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON), Eberechukwu Uneze, as his possible successor in 2019.
Okorocha made this revelation at an occasion to support the AMCON director at Owerri, the Imo State capital over the weekend.
The governor further called on the people of Imo State to continue to trust his judgement as his expertise has made it possible for the state to be one of the strategic APC strongholds today.

He said: “I came here in person today to honour our own brother, Dr. Eberechukwu Uneze who is serving today as an Executive Director of AMCON.
“His appointment by the government in power was only possible because I saw the vision that APC was the way to go and you, the good people of Obiokwu, Amakohia-Ubi, in Owerri-West Local Government Area of Imo State followed me.
“I am looking at your son, Dr. Ebere as someone that is promising politically. You know that we will look for distinguished and outstanding personalities to continue the good work we have started in Imo State.
“When 2019 comes, I would want you to trust me because I am looking in his (Uneze) direction because if the Federal Government trusts him with the tough job he and his colleagues are doing at AMCON, we want technocrats like him in Imo State government.”
