Araraume, Okorocha Can’t Beat Ohakim – Nzeribe

Posted by admin Raw Politics Tuesday, January 25th, 2011

The Oguta-born strong politician and a three-time senator of Federal Republic of Nigeria, Senator Francis Arthur Nzeribe has boasted that Senator Ifeanyi Ararume and Owelle Rochas Okorocha, the governorship candidates of Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) respectively, lack the political capacity to defeat the incumbent governor, Chief Ikedi Ohakim in the forthcoming governorship election in the state.

Nzeribe’s position which is contained in a statement issued recently in Owerri titled “ Ikedi Ohakim 2011: Imo state political gladiators, sheath your sword, let bygone be bygone in the interest of our poor beloved state” posited that the consolidated political capacity of Senator Ifeanyi Araraume , Owelle Rochas and Dr. Alex Obi cannot stop Ohkaim’s second term bid.

He urged them to sheath their sword and join hands with the governor to enable him complete his second term, in accordance with the existing arrangement in the state.

The maverick politician whose wife, Joan Nzeribe was awarded Oguta Chairmabship seat by the governor to secure his support, also declared: “ Only the blind cannot see what Ohakim has done and will continue to do, only the deaf cannot hear what Ohakim is doing presently and only the dumb cannot pray to God for Ohakim to win a second term mandate”.

Nzeribe stated that “ours in Imo State has always been eight uninterrupted years for our elected governors , except for eras of military interregnum. Imo State has an excellent record in its governorship”.

He maintained that the state has remained a PDP state, stating that no amount of opposition mounted by other political parties would change the voting pattern in the eastern state.
