Please permit me to briefly enlighten you on the political composition of power in Imo state presently. I think its a bit of a misnomer to categorically label Imo state an apc state. The two seats controlled in the state by the apc are the governor and his deputy.
The Pdp controls the three senatorial seats(chief sam-daddy anyanwu, chief hope uzodinma and chief athan achalonu aka one-arm general). And their victory over the apc candidates hand picked by rochas were overwhelming!
As for the over 10 house of reps seats,the Apc controls just two(chika okafor and one other guy).
Even within the cabinet of the governor,the apc is shrinking on a daily basis because the whole party structure is being centred around rochas' family to the exclusion of the wider party.
Come 2019,it will be the pdp led people against rochas family and inlaws.
Your epistle still doesn't do justice to FreeGlobe's assertion and the question I raised. The party in power in Imo State at present is the APC. The numbers 1 and 2 citizens of the state were elected into power on the platform of the APC by the people of the state. To now say the APC will not be allowed in the SE when it already controls one of the five states in the zone depicts convenient ignorance. Care to enlighten us on the composition of the state's House of Assembly too?

APC will be history in Imo State as soon as Rochas leaves office.

The fact that power would shift to Owerri zone in 2019 will hammer in the last nail.

Rochas brought APC and APC will be going with him.
People of Orlu will determine where power will shift to in Imo state because of our voting power and APC remains in Imo state.

Confusion Over Anambra Central Senate Seat Persists

Following the mass defection of stalwarts of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), indications have emerged that the national leadership of the ruling party has ruled out the admission of billionaire oil-magnate, Prince Arthur Eze, former Governor Peter Obi and incumbent Willie Obiano, into the party.

The development comes on the heels of fresh confusion over the authentic candidates to contest the rerun election for Anambra Central Senatorial district, which was ordered by the Court of Appeal after the nullification of the election of erstwhile Senator Uche Lillian Ekwunife on December 6, 2015.

Sources close to Ekwunife, who recently defected to APC, confided in The Guardian that the former senator decided to jump ship to avoid the myriad of leadership crisis bedeviling the PDP both at national and state levels.

While declaring for APC, Ekwunife said her election “was mischievously cancelled”, stressing that the Appeal Court turned itself to a Father Christmas by granting a relief not sought for by the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) candidate, Victor Umeh, the petitioner.

She recalled how a Federal High Court Abuja had prior to the Appeal Court judgment, upheld her candidacy in a suit filed by Chief Sylvester Annie Okonkwo, challenging the validity of her nomination and wondered why the court should rule that she was not duly and legitimately nominate as the PDP candidate.

“The outcome of what we witnessed was a conspiracy between some elements in PDP and the state government”, she added; lamenting that “even if I were not the valid candidate, the right thing for the court was to declare whosoever came second in the PDP Primaries as the authentic candidate, thereby replacing me as it is purely a party matter.”

Apart from the confusion as to who, between Ekwunife and Chief Okonkwo, was the authentic PDP candidate for the Anambra Central Senatorial district, APGA is also troubled by two contending candidates between Umeh and Barrister Obi Okafor of the Maxi Okwu faction.

Last week, stakeholders in Anambra Central Senatorial district, after a meeting at Njikoka, endorsed Ekwunife for the Senate seat, even as they declared that the zone cannot toy with the idea of having “a non-ranking senator in the senate at this point in time.”

So in your mind Orlu people will vote for an APC candidate?

It might interest you to know that Orlu zone remains the stronghold/epicentre of PDP in Imo State.

Rochas might even leave APC before 2019 by the time his eyes get clear that APC has nothing to offer the South East.

$2.1bn Arms Deal: Key Questions Goodluck Jonathan ‘must Answer​’




Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has sent an open letter to former President Goodluck Jonathan seeking explanations from him on “what you knew or had reason to know on the apparent diversion and sharing of over $2 billion meant for purchase of arms to fight Boko Haram.”

The letter dated 8 January 2016 and signed by SERAP executive director Adetokunbo Mumuni reads in part: “SERAP is sending you this open letter to seek explanations from you, as former President and Commander-in-Chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces, on what you knew, or had reason to know on the apparent diversion and sharing of the over $2 billion meant to purchase arms to empower Nigerian soldiers to fight Boko Haram.”

“SERAP considers that there is enough material in the public domain to suggest that over $2 billion meant for purchase of arms to equip Nigerians soldiers fighting Boko Haram in the North East of the country was diverted and shared among high-ranging government and party officials under your watch as President and Commander-in-Chief of Nigerian Armed Forces.”

“SERAP and indeed Nigerians reserve the right to pursue justice through appropriate national and international accountability mechanisms to ensure that everyone involved in this heinous crime is brought to justice in accordance with international standards of fairness.”

“Is it correct to suggest that the budget of over $2 billion to purchase arms for Nigerian soldiers fighting Boko Haram in the North-East of the country was authorised by you or your office? In other words, did your former National Security Adviser (NSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd) seek your approval to collect from the Central Bank of Nigeria the over $2 billion meant for purchase of arms for Nigerian soldiers?”

The calculation is easy to sort out. One probe will lead to another probe and soon will be at the doorstep of those who were "pillars of an administration". Everyone knows this...Peter Obi was in and out of Aso Rock at will. Peter Obi's body language is what his brothers are watching and acting on. The jig is up; it's time to abandon the umbrella and pick up the broom. Peter Obi, Pius Anyim Pius and Arthur Eze are neck deep in controversial money and it appears APC offers a greater shield against EFCC probe than does PDP, therefore switch party.

By the end of this year Kirikiri and Alagbon and Kuje willbe so overfilled with Ibo, from Kanu and his ipob Lieutenants to Ekeremadu and those accomplices with whom he forged amendments, to NOI and her dasuki endorsements for central bank theft, to Stella Oduah and abuse of waivers, to Peter Obi serving as front for Arthur Eze and Pius Anyim and Nwobodo.

Freeglobe can cry all she wants, Tinubu is APC and any Ibo wants to join APC must dance to TINUBUs tune. Take it or leave it.....in fact, certain Ibos are non-entities and their dance is not.good enough for admission as party members.

Who told you that power will shift to Owerri in 2019 in Imo state?


Governor Okorocha has devoted more than 85% of his development efforts on Owerri.

Okorocha has all his businesses, hotels , beautiful mansion, etc. in Owerri.
In fact, Rochas Okorocha governs Imo state as if he is from Owerri.

About three months ago, Okorocha's deputy told Vanguard media that Government Okorocha has devoted 75% of his development in Owerri.

Okorocha even rebuilds mission schools in Owerri, while most of the secondary schools in Orlu don't even have roads leading to them.

By 2019, a true Orlu representative shall be in Douglas House.
