Here is an excerpt from Wikileaks

I would have been surprised if Rochas Okorocha didn't win this election, the man has one thing going for him his education policy. Rochas has strong die hard supporters in Imo state who benefit enormously from his free education policy especially to the tertiary level, that feat is unheard of anywhere in this country, he got people like my uncles hooked on his cool aid through that one singular move.

Yes Rochas is cunning and an actor, a pretender and all but you can not deny the fact that he is a way better performer than any of the PDP hotheads, Emeka Ihiedioha obviously is your typical Nigerian politician, Imo would have suffered heavily under his leadership. As much as I am weary of the APC, I am still willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, Rochas is still the man to beat in Imo state, he has strong grassroots support, he is charismatic and knows how to get everyone involved in his government.

Only a lier will deny the man's effort and achievement in Imo state, the last time Imo state had the level of developmental projects this government is engaged in was during Sam Mbakwe's time. The rest have been mediocre lots, from Undenwa to Ohakim.

And by the way, Rochas is a way better Politician than Amaechi. Amaechi just does not know how to choose his battles and cares too much about his own interests than everyone else's. It was so obvious that Rivers state can not and will not go the Amaechi way, he is still a toddler in Rivers state politics and is yet to learn that he can not win people over by being too openly confrontational to people who had once helped you to get to power. Even the likes of Tinubu and Buhari will make sure they keep him at bay, he is more of a rabble rouser and a rebel than a sleek politician that can add anything to the people.

While Rochas was busy testing the waters with his APC experiment, he made sure he didn't lose the touch of the people and his grip on the local politics of his state, he made sure that imolites did not get the wrong message that he had abandoned the state to follow Buhari and Tinubu about like a lost puppy. Amaechi got it all wrong in his case, his open confrontations with the President's wife, Wike who was very instrumental in both his reelection and his court won gubernatorial position from Omehia. He made sure he alienated everyone and even ordinary Rivers people, the result was the massive no they gave at both polls. It is unfortunate that election was destroyed for Peterside by Amaechi, not that he stood any chance against Wike anyway but he let Amaechi overtake his opportunities and brought all the baggage he has with him.

For revealing a fact you resort to personal attacks. Go back to the motor park if you can't be civil and counter the facts I mentioned. Be mature and act your age.

The only reason why rochas won is that he's very popular in Imo state. One out of 3 imolites wants rochas back as a governor. Especially the poor masses. Its only the elites that don't like him as a governor because of his lackadaisical nature and he lacks administrative skills. But what he lacks he makes up in political doggedness that guy is a very clever politician. I admire his political skills so much. APC was just an added advantage for him, but not the main reason Imolites voted him.
Now coming to ihedioha, first of he emerged as the PDP flag bearer in a very controversial manner. He stole the mandate from Ararume who was the clear winner. And instead of making mends he started abusing ararume calling him a SERIAL LOSER.
During campaign ihedioha was busy riding on Jonathans support instead of building grassroots support for himself. Now Jonathan lost it was a big blow for him..
And the last but not the least Mbaise stigma worked against him. An average Imolite despise an mbaise person so much........ Ihedioha, iwuanyanwu, ilomuanya, etc sorry say hello to ur new to ur new boss Owelle Anayo Rochas Okorocha..

If it's true, then congrats to Rochas. It's not easy winning any election with APC in SE let alone governorship. Amaechi should immediately relocate to owerri for a tutorial on election 101. Mr talk talk that couldn't even win common VILLAGE president with APC in PH

Hmmmm....finally ,an igbo-man to vote for after Buhari in 2019 or 2023.
This is one igboman i respect because he has allowed bygone be bygone concerning the civil war ; his motives are based on rational principles & not on base ethnic recidivist principles ! I hope the rest of Ndi -Igbo will learn from him as we build a united Nigeria. Kudos to the Imo people .
