The ambition of the gubernatorial candidate of the Action Congress Of Nigeria (ACN), Sen. Ifeanyi Araraume to take over the mantle of leadership of Imo State from May 29th this year, has been dealth a big blow with the defection of Senator Sylvester Anyanwu back to the people’s Democratic Party(PDP).
Sen. Anyanwu who is representing Imo North Senatorial Zone, over the weekend at his home town, Obowo officially dumped the ACN and pitched tent with the ruling PDP. He made it clear that, he opted to call it a quit with Sen. Araraume’s camp because, they never appreciated the value of the man they were having,pointing out that, many people joined ACN because of him, assuring that many would definetly leave because of him. The lawmaker also disclosed that, there is need to ensure that the governorship position does not leave Okigwe zone to any other zone, until 2015 when it will be the turn of the people of Owerri zone, maintaining that, though Owelle Rochas Anayo Okorocha is his friend, but he should not be allowed to distort the zoning process which is in existence in the state.
According to him, it would be injustice, if Orlu people should take back the governorship of Imo State and vowed never to encourage that.
