[b]Ahead of Friday’s supplementary election in some disputed local government areas in Imo State, the governor, Chief Ikedi Ohakim, has paid a visit to the governorship candidate of the Action Congress of Nigeria, Senator Ifeanyi Araraume, for reconciliation.
It was gathered that with the visit, Ohakim had allegedly gone to solicit Araraume’s support in the rerun on the affected areas as some of the affected councils are ACN’s strongholds.

The governor was also said to have whipped some sentiment during their discussion that they should not allow an Orlu man to take power from Okigwe, the zone where Ohakim and Araraume hail from.
He also told him that the Imo State Charter of Equity favoured Okigwe to produce the governor till 2015 before the next zone would take its turn.
Orlu is the dominant zone in Imo State, boasting 11 local governments of the state. There is also Owerri zone.

Our correspondent learnt that Araraume, who initially did not want to see the governor, but later did based on appeal from his close friends, told Ohakim that his overtures came too late.

It is believed in some quarters that the governor’s desperation to reconcile with his kinsman, whom he had allegedly dragged his name to mire, was due to the impressive performance of the All Progressives Grand Alliance candidate, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, and that if Araraume and the ACN should throw their weight behind him, it would break the ranks of Okorocha and the election would tilt to the governor’s side.
Reacting to Ohakim’s visit, the Action Congress of Nigeria, Imo State, said that Araraume had the right to receive any visitor in his residence.[/b]

Source please. We are tired of hearsays.

Araraume, Please do not support Ohakim. Let him return to his original trade as a professional 419 after his defeat.

Thanks Chyz.

Desperado. He and his 419 gang are scared of what will happen to them when they are out of power. The Imo treasury cash cow will no longer be available. Imo lites should watch out because when he loses, he will do the greatest looting of the treasury in history in addition to those he had already done. He and his gang will also try and make the state ungovernable for Rochas.  They will resort to spates of kidnapping, armed robbery, assasinations, ritualism,etc,  to frustrate Rochas and make Imolites pay for throwing them out of power and also as a replacement for their former cash cow. Imolites must be vigilant to stop them even after Rochas is sworn in because these bands of evil men do not give up easily.
