PDP Heavy Weights Join APC In Imo by Abagworo(m): 7:10pm On Apr 07, 2015
After appearing at a campaign rally in Lagos on Tuesday ,
Nigeria ’ s president- elect , General Muhammadu Buhari is
expected to storm Imo State , southeast Nigeria , to drum support
for candidates of the All Progressives Congress , APC , in the 11
April governorship and State House of Assembly elections .
The incumbent governor , Owelle Rochas Okorocha , is seeking a
second term under the platform of APC.
At today’ s grand event some stalwarts of the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP , in the state are also expected to defect
to APC with their teeming supporters .
P . M. NEWS gathered that among those to decamp to APC are the
former governor of Imo State , Chief Ikedi Ohakim, as well as
governorship aspirants in PDP .
The decampees alleged that they were joining APC because they
were badly treated in PDP and they felt their political future lies
in APC . The decampees have declared support for Okorocha and
advised their members to support him.
Sources also said crisis rocked PDP in the state following the
failure of Owerri Zone of the party to produce a consensus
candidate formidable enough to wrest power from Okorocha on
Saturday .
Reports have it that Chief Ikedi Ohakim, Senator Ifeanyi
Araraume , Chief Tony Chukwu and Senator Hope Uzodinma had
visited Okorocha at the state Government House pledging to
support his second term ambition .
Observers saw the visit as a prelude to their formal defection to
the APC. Already, stalwarts of the PDP , particularly the party ’ s
governorship aspirants such as Chief Jerry Chukwueke and
Barrister Bethel Nzimako , have defected to the APC .
Other decampees from the PDP to the APC are the leader of
Owerri Zone Political Leaders Forum , OZOPOLF , Chief Charles
Amadi , his secretary, Barr Kingsley Ononuju . OZOPOLF is a
pressure group canvassing for Imo Governor from Owerri zone in
2015 .
Also, directors of Senator Hope Uzodinma Campaign
Organisation , Barr. Rex Anunobi , Chief Samfo Nwankwo and
Patrick Ekeji have reportedly defected from the PDP .

this is what i wanted and dream of...
And it s has come to pass...
Now that senator ifeanyi ararume and hope uzordinma is there...
Apc will be too hot for the opposition party to handle...
It will be a good thing if ndiimo join hands together to support the hero of our time,
rochas okorocha and his new party, apc..

Though i'm a non partisan,but i believe rochas is on a right path...

Rochas care for ndigbos and care for ndiimos...
He is patriotic and believe in igbos achievement in the east..

So lets support him for 2019 cos
he will do more than what he did in first term tenure..
Rochas till 2019
Sai buhari till corruptible leaders start confessing their sins...grin
One love...
