This scenario playing out in Imo state is reminisce of 2007 elections but the the only difference is that at the time senator Ararume had clearly won the primaries. I was a delegate at that primaries it was tedious and extremely transparent .There were no parallel candidate but due to certain leaders of the party lead by the outgoing governor at the time not accepting his candidature they went to Abuja and got his name substituted for Charles Ugwu who did not even participate in the primaries . Ararume then went to court and won. but the party leaders were not happy with him for taking the party to court expelled him from the party. The party leaders led by president Obasanjo then came to Owerri and addressed us and announced to us that that the party has no candidate and we should go vote and any one of our choice. APGA led by martin Agbaso took advantage and got a lot of support leading up the election. After the election when it was obvious the Agbaso had won the election before the results were official announced Okigwe zone leaders rushed to Maurice Iwu the Inec chairman who was from Okigwe zone himself told him that he cannot allow result to stand as that whatever the case the governor must come from Okigwe zone . He then instructed the Inec state returning officer to cancel the election. The PDP sate leadership then called members to meeting in state headquarters in Owerri leading to the bye election and informed us to go and vote PPA for that’s how Ihedi OKakim became governor. so relating this to what is transpiring today. while APC are still dilly-dallying with their candidate it has given the upper hand to PDP ‘s Emeka ihedioha on the basis that he has still maintained his structure from his previous campaign four years ago. Zoning also favours him. There are a lot of APC members who do not want Uche Nwosu at the same time do not want Hope Uzodinma .

Dictators are allergic to reform, and they are cunning survivors. They will do whatever it takes to preserve their power and wealth, no matter how much blood ends up on their hands. They are master deceivers and talented manipulators who cannot be trusted to change.
As far as am concerned the hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
