Ifeanyi Ararume&#8217;s last minute<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">political mutiny enhanced the second straight victory Gov. Rochas Okorocha<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">recorded over the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) in Imo State. After<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">defeating Chief Ikedi Ohakim, who re-contested the governorship under the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">platform of the PDP, the rescue mission governor in 2015 also defeated<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Hon. Emeka Ihedioha, who was nominated as the PDP governorship candidate<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">during the 2015 governorship election in Imo.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">After a rancorous governorship primary election that produced Ihedioha,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">the former Deputy Speaker of Federal House of Representatives, Sen.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Araraume had outrightly rejected the result as pronounced citing severe<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">irregularities. He threatened to doom the PDP and ruin its chances of<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">wrestling power from Okorocha should the party leadership fails to reverse<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">the outcome to his favour.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">When it became glaring that PDP was not amenable to Araraume&#8217;s conditions<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">of flying the 2015 governorship flag, the Isiala-Mbano born political<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">warlord changed his game as he aversively activated another dangerous<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">political plan. He had quickly oiled and reassembled his political<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">arsenals to make good his threat of downing the umbrella party.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">As Araraume battled his former party and its hierarchy, Okorocha whose<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">reelection bid was earlier greeted with a stiff opposition adjusted and<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">clandestinely reached to Araraume. The governor, however, succeeded to<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">lure Araraume who shockingly decamped to APC with some notable Imo<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">politicians shortly after President Muhammadu Buhari was declared winner<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">of the 2015 presidential election. He was audaciously received by<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">President Buhari who attended in person as well as top APC leaders.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">It is appropriate and most likely that Sen. Araraume had struck a<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">political deal and agreements before undertaking the onerous task of<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">delivering Okorocha in 2015. It is equally ideal to suggest that the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">political agreements may have been tagged and expressly tailored for 2019<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">political project hence Ararume was not relenting on his yet-to-be<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">actualized gubernatorial aspiration.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Through an orchestrated rebellious act against PDP, Araraume closely<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">worked with other aggrieved members and successfully ruined the PDP and<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">its earlier foreseen chances of taking over power from Okorocha. He<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">upturned the known traditional voting pattern in Imo as PDP was dislodged<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">in Okigwe zone for the first time to democratically seal Okorocha<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">landslide victory. Also through his solidly rooted political structure,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Destiny Organization, Ararume greatly influenced and sealed a pronounced<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">victory for Okorocha in Owerri and Orlu zones as he sternly directed all<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">his supporters and associates across the state to vote for Okorocha and<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">APC in the governorship and state assembly elections.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">The political alliance and frolicsomeness of the duo actually began on a<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">peaceful footing. Okorocha had appreciated Ararume&#8217;s contributions by<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">engaging his son, Ifeanyi Ararume Jnr, as a commissioner in his first<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">cabinet after reelection. Though Ararume denied knowledge and endorsement<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">of the appointment, it was later unraveled as a strategy deployed to<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">position and politically nurture his son for deputy governorship against<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">his 2019 governorship ambition. It was also gathered that Okorocha<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">strategies were targeted to politically dwarf, detonate and morally knock<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Araraume out of 2019 governorship race with his son preferred anositioned<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">for deputy.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Unfortunately, the political tide, as at today in Imo APC, is fast turning<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">against Okorocha. By inducing and procuring a marathon endorsements for<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Uche Nwosu, his chief of staff and son-in-law as the next governor,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Okorocha consciously or unconsciously ignited a fierce political battle in<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">his party. Besides his relationship as the father-inlaw, Nwosu also hails<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">from Orlu zone with Okorocha.\u00a0 After removing the four years Chief\u00a0 Ikedi<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Ohakim held sway(2007-2011), Orlu zone has continuously occupied the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">governorship seat of Imo State since the return of democracy in 1999.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Chief Udenwa had an uninterrupted eight years(1999-2007). By 2019,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Okorocha shall be adding another undistorted eight years of governorship<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">for the same Orlu zone. Regardless of this obvious lopsidedness and<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">political enslavement of Owerri and Okigwe zones, Okorocha in a desperate<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">manner, defied all entreaties as he resorts to shenanigans that tend to<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">domicile the gubernatorial power in Orlu beyond 2019.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">But Okorocha&#8217;s succession agenda as greedily crafted has been completely<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">rejected by the stakeholders of Imo APC. The opposition against his<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">proposed &#8216;familiocracy&#8217; has swollen hence Ararume reached out to other<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">stakeholders who are mutually opposed to Okorocha and his son-inlaw. A<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">coalition known as &#8216;Allied Forces&#8217; in Imo APC was formed to wrestle the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">party structure from Okorocha during the congresses. With the calibre of<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Sen. Ararume, Sen. Osita Izunaso, the national organizing secretary of the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">party, Sen. Benjamin Uwajimogu, representing Okigwe zone in the senate as<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">well as the of APC National Convention Planning Committee, his counterpart<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">representing Orlu zone, Sen. Hope Uzodinma, the deputy governor, Prince<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Eze Madumere, Hon. Goodluck Opia, representing Ohaji-Egbema\/Oguta\/Oru West<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">federal constituency, Chief Tony Chukwu, a business mogul, Chief Felix<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Idiga(Jafac), Chief T.O.E Ekechi, Ichie Best Mbanaso, Sir Jude Ejiogu,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">former secretary to the state government and other notable politicians<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">within the broom-waving party, Okorocha, at the moment, and to say the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">least, is profusely suffocating in Imo APC.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">After loosing out in the recent Ward and Local Government congresses to<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">the politically sophisticated &#8216;Allied Forces&#8217;, a terribly bullied and<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">horrified Okorocha had raced to Daura and Abuja crying for help. Those he<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">reportedly met at Daura and Abuja did not mince words as they turned him<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">back with an advice that he mends fences with the party stakeholders. But,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Okorocha, who had earlier and publicly announced the retirement of notable<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">politicians across party lines in Imo would never heed to wise counsel.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Only him, and him alone, will decide the next governor for Imo people, the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">3 senators with himself as one, the occupants of the 12 House of<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Representatives seats as well as the 27 state assembly positions.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">While the &#8216;Allied Forces&#8217; prepares by perfecting plans for the forthcoming<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">state and zonal congresses, the brutally dazed and wailing Okorocha and<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">his son-in law, Uche Nwosu, are rather busy scoring own goals by<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">effortlessly leading an obviously dejected supporters to &#8216;fruitless&#8217;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">protests.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Like a warlord lacking tact and strategy, the seemingly frustrated<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Okorocha to the surprises of many also extended his battle to Oyegun&#8217;s<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">doorstep and the entire National Working Committee(NWC). He openly accused<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">the outgoing national chairman of &#8216;criminally&#8217; conspiring with Ararume,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Izunaso, Uwajimogu and other members of the &#8216;Allied Forces&#8217; to hijack the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">party structure. He equally claimed to have become a victim of &#8216;Abuja<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">conspiracies&#8217; for opposing the proposal that could have fetched Oyegun and<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">other party exco members an additional one year in office.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">But Okorocha&#8217;s unsubstantiated assumptions and outburst were swiftly<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">countered by the national publicity secretary of APC, Mallam Bolaji<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Abdullahi, who berated the governor and accused him of mismanaging his<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">relationship with those that ought to have queued behind him.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Apparently referring the governor as a frustrated fellow, Abdullahi said,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;Governor Okorocha is being malicious and unfair to the NWC. If he has<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">mismanaged his relationship with his own people, in a way that they now<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">constitute an encumbrance to him, he should not transfer his frustration<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">to the NWC.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u201cIt is certainly not right to set fire to the village because you want to<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">kill a rat. If Governor Okorocha has any specific grievances, he should<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">come forward with them rather than making this generalized accusations&#8221;.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">While &#8216;Allied Forces&#8217; steadily dismantles Okorocha as the sole proprietor<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">and owner of Imo APC, other stakeholders across party lines in Imo as well<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">as the keenly watchful Imolites have endlessly celebrated the political<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">demystification and apparent downfall of the &#8216;rescue mission&#8217; governor.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">This is as virtually all opinions and commentaries canvassed in the social<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">and mainstream media in respect to the development are pointedly tailored<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">to mock, demystify and downgrade Okorocha whose recent destructive<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">programmes such as &#8216;Urban Renewal&#8217; have terribly inflicted hardship and<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">excruciating difficulties on the people people living in the state<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">capital, Owerri.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Adding to the spontaneous celebrations that have greeted Okorocha&#8217;s<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">humiliation, Sen. Ararume attributed the dismantling of Okorocha and his<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">family members to a collective battle all Imolites must fight to secure<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">the state from further destructions. Araraume through a recent statement<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">released by his media aide, Ik Ogbonna had warped and derided Okorocha for<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">brutally exhibiting dictatorial and anti-democratic tendencies.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">The Isiala-Mbano businessman and politician further enjoined &#8220;all<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">well-meaning citizens, from the political class to the academia, from the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">professions to the clergy, the traditional institutions and even artisans<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">are in agreement, beyond partisan, sectional, religious and cultural<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">boundaries to stop Governor Okorocha from further destroying the state,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">economically, politically and culturally.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">He also added: &#8220;In the last couple of months, Governor Okorocha has been<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">raining abuses on every political leader of note in the state, including<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">his predecessors, dead or alive. The good people of Imo state have so<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">become used to the governor\u2019s reckless and uncouth utterances on the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">former that they no longer take him seriously.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;Governor Okorocha deludes himself as a political giant but it is not a<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">hidden fact that in his career, he has contested over 15 elections and<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">lost all; governor, party chairman, senator, president etc. Even the 2011<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">governorship election in which he was declared winner was a make belief.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">In 2015, he ran for a second term but the election went into second<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">balloting and he almost lost because of his abysmal performance in his<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">first term&#8221;.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">With the endorsement of Imo APC Ward congress by the party&#8217;s appeal panel<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">deployed to Imo, the power tussle over the soul of APC appears to be over<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">for Okorocha. The governor has lost the battle and finally the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">monopolistic control of Imo APC. He is therefore expected to activate his<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">plan &#8216;B&#8217; for 2019.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Believing that Imo electorate are still glued to his side, the governor<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">may consider routing his son-in-law and obviously depleted supporters to<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">another political party. Okorocha&#8217;s desperation to foist his son-in-law as<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">the next governor of Imo State shall then be decided by the electorate if<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">he finally activates such plan.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Ebere Uzoukwa It is an indisputable fact that Sen.
