Ohakim: Imo Group faults Iwanyanwu

A Socio/political group based in Owerri, the Imo State Capital, Imo Democratic Congress has faulted reports credited to a PDP Board of Trustees Member, Mr. Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu that Mr Ikedi Ohakim’s adminstration is performing in Imo courtesy of projects he executed since 2007 and states that the statement of the BOT member is barefaced lie, cheap, unwarranted, untoward and serial grand standing which has always been Mr Iwuanyanwus’s stock in trade since he embraced politics. The group in a statement signed by its Executive Secretary, Mr. Maximus Uba and made available to newsmen challenged Chief Iwuanyanwu to name an ongoing or completed project initiated by Ikedi Ohakim in Imo since 2007 except Kim Tricycles, 72 billion bank debt, harassment of the people to meet his 5 billion naira IGR and the Clean and Green jamboree which Ohakim uses to drain tax payers money.

The statement of the group read in part “the attention of Imo Democratic Congress have to drawn to a news item credited to a BOT Member from Imo State, Mr Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu where in, he claimed he is excited with Ikedi Ohakim’s adminstration, we therefore challenge Mr. Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu to name an ongoing/ completed project in the state as done by Ikedi Ohakim except some funny trunk C roads around Amaraku, Kim kim tricycles and other phanthom things that cannot pass for an achievement by a councillor. At this stage it is pertinent to say here that the likes of Iwuanyanwu who has not won any election in his lifetime but who feed fat on tax payers money should cover their face in shame for such outburst whereas there is nothing on ground to show for all the revenue now totalling over 350billion naira which has come the way of Imo state since 2007.. Here is a man who criticized Mr. Ohakim in the first six months of administration but began singing new songs when Ohakim extended patronage to his poor soul now he is the Chairman of New Face of Imo and we ask what does Mr. Iwuanyanwu actually want in life or is his POLITICAL calling all about supporting any government in power for his pocket only .The Group further faulted Iwuanyanwu’s claim that he made Udenwa Achike Imo Governor in 1999 wondering how a man WHO RAN Presidential primaries in APP and lost his Attah ward to PDP would now be claiming to deliver a candidate in a rival party so much so a Governorship candidate and therefore described the claim over UDENWA as spurious, in ordinate and cheap lie meant only for the ears of fools. The Group counselled Mr Iwuanyanwu to leave Sen. I. G. Araraume and Hon. Kelechi Nwagwu alone as both men have moved on with their lives after his betrayal of their cause which he and other spearheaded and for which generations unborn will pay dearly for in future. Further the group said it remembers with utter amazement how Iwuanyanwu used to shout the praises of Udenwa, Araraume and Nwagwu in the past but wonders how these men have suddenly fallen out of favour with him and we ask is it because they no longer dish out money to him or is it because they are longer in power, we say it here that Mr Iwuanyanwu needs spiritual healing and must retrace his steps now before it is too late, this IDC unequivocally state.
