Okorocha’s Kinsmen Reject His Second Term Bid by unuane1(m): 10:55am On Jan 20, 2015
The second term aspiration of Governor
Rochas Okorocha of Imo State to govern
the state may have suffered a major
setback as the people of Orlu Senatorial
Zone where the governor hails have
advised the governor to forget about his
re-election bid as his first term was a
disappointment to Imo State, particularly
Orlu geo-political zone.
The apex socio-cultural organisation of the
entire Orlu geo-political zone, Orlu
Zurumee, who cautioned the governor
against dabbling into the governorship
race, threatened to mobilize forces against
him should he disregard this warning.
According to them, “no man however great
is greater than his own people. Okorocha’s
second term will be a disaster”.
Disclosing this stance, when the new
Caretaker Committee members of the
organization led by its President General,
Prince Macdonald Akano, paid a courtesy
visit to the Chairman of Imo State and
South East Councils of Traditional Rulers
in Owerri, Eze Cletus Ilomuanya, the
Chairman, Board of Trustees (BOT) of the
organization, Chief. Ray Okoro, averred
that “Rochas has failed us and there is
nothing positive again he can offer Orlu
people in particular and Imo people in
general”.
The BOT chairman, who described
Ilomuanya as a goal getter and pride to
Imo State, stated that “Rochas said he will
stay for only four years and that a good
student does not repeat class. We are tired
of him just as his re-election will be a
disaster to Imo State. Let him go in peace?
He said Orlu Zurumee is undergoing
restructuring and therefore needed the
support of well meaning Orlu people to
achieve its aims.
Adducing reasons Governor Okorocha
should be halted in his second term
aspiration, the new President General of
Orlu Zurumee and former Special Adviser
on Project Monitoring to Governor
Okorocha, Prince MacDonald Akano,
argued that “Okorocha has over-stayed his
welcome and that there is dire need for
positive change in Imo State”.
Akano told Eze Ilomuanya, whom he
described as a big masquerade that cannot
be easily tossed around, that “when a true
Igbo man takes over power by May 29,
2015 in Imo State, we will rejoice with you.
Right now, we are in bondage”. He praised
the monarch for promoting the identity of
Ndigbo in Nigeria, positing that ‘as an
asset the entire Orlu people are with you
and your fight is our fight.

Some times those like the poster think that all persons here are kids, when they spread misinformation or some abject lies.
1. The organization Orlu Zurumee is an pressure group within the PDP formed under Udenwa to solidify his base but was hijacked from him by Ohakim loyalist in 2011 once Udenwa was out of power, through Hope Uzodinma, Elvis Agukwe and others, hence Udenwa moving to ACN in 2011 and returned back to PDP once Ohakim was voted out of office.
So the people you mentioned worked for Ohakim and not Rochas in 2011 and does not represent Orlu people. Cletus Ilomuanya is openly a member of this group.

2. Cletus Ilomuanya is no longer a traditional ruler for more than three years now and his Obinugwu community has since nominated a new Igwe. Rochas deposed him for the reason given above. That he was openly politicking while acting as a traditional ruler.
So, how can someone who is no longer an Igwe becomes the chairman of any traditional rulers gathering group, does not make sense?
It's a fact that while Rochas is still a governor of Imo, Ilomuanya returning as an Igwe is a mere fiction and will be worsened if PDP is to lose the centre in this election.

I have nothing more to add. You have said it all.
