The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, governorship candidate in Imo State and Deputy Speaker House of Representatives, Chief Emeka Ihedioha, on Monday in Owerri, the Imo State capital, said ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo offered
him N150 million to support his third term ambition.

He, however, said he rejected the offer. Speaking to All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, supporters at a reception organised by the party’s candidate for Owerri Federal Constituency, Honourable Dan Ikpeazu, Ihedioha said he rejected the offer to back Obasanjo to return to power for a third term because of his “forthrightness.”

Ihedioha expressed gratitude to the people for welcoming him, and asured them that with his links and connections within and outside the country, he would provide sound leadership devoid of discrimination.


“Anybody who knows me would know that I am not the discriminatory type, if I don’t believe in something, I will let you know why I don’t believe in it,” he said. He also appealed to APGA supporters to put sentiment aside and vote for him in the forthcoming governorship election on April 11, as he is the only candidate that has the chance to defeat incumbent Governor Rochas Okorocha of the All Progressives Congress, APC. He said he had been constituent, upright and faithful in his entire political career, adding that if they voted for him to become the state governor, he would rule with the fear of God. He added that Imo State and the South East in general were lucky that he became deputy speaker of the House of Representatives to ensure that Ndigbo still remained relevant in the decision-making of the nation.

He commended Ikpeazu, APGA standard bearer for Owerri federal constituency, for his forthrightness, adding that the former Imo House of Assembly member shared the same traits with him. Speaking earlier, Ikpeazu commended Ihedioha for coming to address his supporters, adding that his only interest was how to unseat the incumbent Governor Okorocha. The gathering, which attracted other PDP chieftains, saw APGA members resolve to support Ihedioha in the forthcoming governorship election.

A loser man is an angry man

why u no talk so for long.Abeg park well

#sipping my juice...

This man is my brother but what Rochas has done is not what a man can dispute, he's done a great job and we can't take that from him

Errant nonsense. Why now and not then?

Who asked him? Why now? And for what gains? Lol

I believe him.
The retired army man was very desperate to cling to power.
I only hoped he would have another opportunity to borrow a leaf from Heroic President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. But alas, it's too late for him to take that lesson.
However, leaders of present generation and the generations unborn will take a cue from PGEJ: on how to be self-less, patriotic, statemanly, peace-loving, accommodating, courageous, brave, allowing the will of the people to prevail, and above all, yeildedness to the will of God.

Hmmmmmm, shoro ni yen
