The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress Governors Forum, Rochas Okorocha, has urged the party to stop the culture of imposition of candidates to move ahead of the competition.

Okorocha said this in his remarks at the 1st Progressive Governors-Legislative-Civil Society Roundtable, with the theme: Improving Governance through transparent budgeting, accountability and effective public financial management, in Abuja, on Monday.

The Imo State governor, who said he was aligning himself to comments made by a previous speaker, said the 2015 general election was for the APC to win or lose.

According to him, the outcome of the recent opinion polls conducted by APCs foreign consultant was a true reflection of what was on ground.

He noted that for the APC to form government in 2015, it must do things differently.

Okorocha said, Our victory is in our hands it is left for us to make it or mar it, but I believe we can make it. I believe that this issue of imposition of candidates must stop in APC and that is the only way.

The masses know us better, when they say this is the candidate that can win the election he is the candidate let there be liberal democracy.

Turning to the theme of the gathering, he said, if we keep doing the same old things, the same old way, we will get the very same results.

According to him, most of the time, our budgetary system from conception to execution was faulty hence the need for change.

Earlier in his remarks, Senator Olusola Adeyeye, said when APC forms government at the federal level, it will reintroduce tolls along major highways to generate the required revenue to maintain the roads.
