 “This won’t be the last, but the beginning as we are looking forward to giving back to the society through these events”

The Transition Committee Chairman and the Executive Chairman hopeful of the good and packaged people of Orlu Local Government Area Hon. Obinna Onyeocha Onowu has extended his hands of fellowship with the Children on this year's occasion of Children's day.

He eulogized the Children for the massive role they play in Nation building. He advised that Children be considered as critical stakeholders in Nation building considering their present status as Leaders of tomorrow.

He advised parents to train their children in the way of the Lord so that when they grow, they won't depart from that godly way that will benefit them, their immediate family and the society at large.

He equally advised the children to always obey their parents in all ramifications so as to receive the blessings therein. He quoted the Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Ephesians chapter 6 from verse 1 to 3 which reads "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with promise: that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth."

-SAYS AFRICA CAN ONLY SECURE ITS FUTURE THROUGH EDUCATION

Wife of the President of Republic of Guinea, Hajia Djene Kaba Conde has said that every patriotic African should think about the future of the continent and that the only way to guarantee a prosperous future for the continent is by nations and individuals with the wherewithal to invest heavily in education.

The visiting First Lady made the remark when she visited the Rochas Foundation College of Africa, to see the students of the College particularly students from her country, Guinea, adding that an educated nation or continent will quickly be transformed into a developed nation or continent.

Her words “I thank the president of the Rochas Foundation College for this wonderful initiative of educating the poor children of Africa. I received the letter to bring 5 of my children to study free in Rochas Foundation College through the First Lady of Nigeria Hajia Aisha Buhari who is a good friend and a sister. I didn’t hesitate because I understand the importance of education to our children and society at large”.

For her “The dream of the founder of Rochas Foundation is the dream of all great men from this continent but to the glory of God, Rochas has been able to fulfill this dream. He can now be linked to the PAN Africanist list with Kwame Nkruma, Julius Nyerere, Zik and so on, because of what he is doing for Africa and because he has joined the league of great men that worked for the Unity of Africa”.

According to her “An educated nation will obviously be transformed into a developed nation. These children will in a very short time be source of light to their different nations and Africa at large. Education as been offered in ROFOCA is the fastest means of developing the African nation”.

In her speech earlier, wife of Imo State Governor, Nneoma Nkechi Okorocha told the visiting First Lady that the wife of the nation’s President Hajia Aisha Buhari is the matron of the College and one of the driving forces behind the school and its rapid growth within the very short period of its establishment.

She said “The African Continent has hope for its future generation and it is our collective duty to see to the actualization of this hope, hence, the creation of Rochas Foundation College of Africa. The time has come for Africa to take its pride of place in the universe and ROFOCA is a veritable tool to drive this dream by developing great children of Africa through education.”

She told Mrs. Conde “Your Excellency, it may interest you to know that Her Excellency, Aisha Buhari has thrown her full support behind the growth of this College. She is the matron of the school and one of the driving forces behind the institution. She helped in bringing the 5 children each from the 55 nations of Africa. She is excited to know that you are here to see how your children are faring”.

She added “Looking at your face, we have no doubt that you are satisfied. I thank you for the trust you have in us by releasing 5 indigent children to us to train as future leaders of our continent and we are hopeful that you will still send another five by the beginning of next session.”

The Ngor Okpala LGA headquarters was agog today with supporters of the APC, members and leaders of the party alike. All of whom thronged out to reiterate their support for the Rescue Mission Government led by His Excellency, Owelle Anayo Rochas Okorocha, at a meeting convened by the Commissioner for Labour and Poverty Alleviation, Hon. Blessing Nwammerenini and other leaders of the party in the LGA.

Leaders of the party took turns to speak to the crowd of sincere supporters, affirming the indivisibility of the party, whilst debunking the treachrous compromise of a few elements as not being representative of the people's aspiration. In what can be described as a charge to duty, the Apex leader of the party in the LGA, Okenze S.I. Obinna, held everyone spellbound with his demagogic engagement. 

He decried the wanton insincerity dotting the activities of some persons who are direct beneficiaries of the Rescue Mission Government. His admonition was simply sophisticated. In his "post master allegory", he described loyalty as a "stamp on an envelope". The stamp must never leave the envelope until they get to their proposed destination. Any attempt by the stamp to leave the envelope can only be self defeating to the stamp itself.

In his words; "Ngor Okpala has continued to benefit from the progressive feats of this government in sundry ways. We cannot afford to truncate this on-going train of development, that is why we are resolved on the continuity project of 2019. If we have accepted that Owelle is our leader and has done remarkably well for us as a people, we must trust his judgement on his succession plan. This is why I support, fully, the Ugwumba Uche Nwosu project. Anyone working for government and wants to work against this same government, must first resign. No General would love to die in battle by a friendly bullet."

Recall that Ngor Okpala had, through a heavily worded resolution submitted by her leaders, endorsed the aspiration of Ugwumba Uche Nwosu. Okenze Obinna reassured members and supporters of the party not to nurse any form of fear or disbelief, as the Ugwumba mandate is divine. Not even the momentary distractions of the coalition of "strange bird fellows" can change the course of fate. According to the political Iroko of the largest LGA in Imo State, "victory for Ugwumba Uche Nwosu is not just certain, but also definite in Ngor Okpala".

The member representing Ngor Okpala State Constituency and the Deputy Chief whip of the Imo State House of Assembly - Hon. Obinna Egu - took time to reel out some of the laudable infrastructural projects completed and ongoing within the LGA. He reminded all present that it was the Governor's unrivalled interest in Ngor Okpala that informed his decision to join the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the State, in spite of being elected on the platform of the PDP. He joined other speakers to call for continuous support for the Rescue Mission Government and the Ugwumba mandate.

Also speaking at the event were the various Appointees of Government led by the Secretary to the Government of Imo State (SGI), Sir Eche George. The refined technocrat, without equivocation, lauded the Governor for his invaluable love for the people of Ngor Okpala, evident in the appointment of Sons and Daughters of the LGA in choice and strategic positions within the Rescue Mission Government right from the first tenure up to this moment. He thus stated that the Governor has shown utmost good faith which must naturally be rewarded with unwavering loyalty.

The robust grassroot support for the Ugwumba Uche Nwosu 2019 mandate ramains the envy of detractors who are working in futility to destabilize it. Today's outing confirms, beyond doubt, the acceptability of the Rescue Mission Government in Ngor Okpala and the readiness of Ngor Okpala APC to deliver according to their earlier resolution endorsing the Uche Nwosu project.

-THE FAKE STORY OF HIS JOINING APGA IS THE CREATION OF THE 10-MAN COALITION

Aside the concocted story of Governor Rochas Okorocha leaving All Progressives Congress, APC, for the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, trending on the social media, we have also been inundated with calls from media practitioners trying to confirm the authenticity or otherwise of the source-less tale.

Governor Okorocha is one of the principal founders of APC. And when he took the mainstream of APGA to join the merger that gave birth to APC, he was not under any pressure to do so. He even took that action at the risk of his second tenure.

He became the propeller of APC in Imo and the whole of South East. Mobilizing people for the party in Imo, Ebony, Abia, Enugu, and Anambra States. He was the rallying point. And he did that in the overall interest of the South-East and indeed, APC.

If Governor Okorocha did not take good percentage of APGA to APC, the party would not have had the kind of national spread it has till today. For that reason, they called him all sorts of derogatory names which Nigerians all know, including Alhaji in Government House, Okoro-Hausa, and Rochas Buhari.

When the APC came for campaign in 2015 in Imo and all the states in the South-East he was the point man. Today, APC has become the party to envy. Nobody is again talking about Rochas and Buhari going to use APC to Islamize the Igbos.

Today too, the same people who called him names have begun to market falsehood against him including the fake story of his leaving APC for APGA. All these could show the level of frustration on the side of the ten-man Coalition. They are been hunted by their inglorious actions.

One may also wish to know that while the unfounded story of the governor leaving APC is yet to dry, they have also come up with another funny one, that the governor is in coma. These people do not know God and of course they are afraid of both the present and the future.

They won’t be allowed to reap where they never sold. Their deceit will expire in no distant time. And no Landlord leaves his house for unfaithful tenants. The name Rochas is the fibre of APC in Imo and the whole of South-East.

And anybody who says it is not true should tell Nigerians why it is only in Imo you have APC governor, 24 out of the 27 House of Assembly members, three House of Representative members and one Senator, in the whole of South-East. Time will tell what happens in APC in Imo and the whole of South-East.

Governor Rochas Okorocha has hinted that his administration is to launch an empowerment venture to be christened “My People, My People Empowerment Programme”adding that the essence of the programme is to further reduce poverty in the State to its barest minimum.

The governor made the disclosure on Monday, May 21, 2018 while on inspection of some on-going Projects in Owerri and environs, stressing that in 2011 when he became governor, the poverty level in the state was 57%, but by 2017, the poverty level in the State has come down to 19%, courtesy of his administration.
He therefore explained that, My People, My People Empowerment Programmewould further reduce the poverty level to 5%, recalling that he had promised the people of the State that once the flight gets to a cruising level, that the captain will come out and merry with everyone.

He said, “This time around, we are going to remember the very poor people, poverty level is low in the State but we want to reduce it to the barest minimum. Traders and people who are trying to survive with goods less than 10,000 naira in their shops, forms will be brought out very soon and all that are interested for the empowerment will fill.”.

He further stated, “I will personally supervise the empowerment exercise which will be termed, my people, my people, empowerment. This will help some of our street traders to start a better life and we are targeting 50,000 people across the three zones of the state. This exercise will start between now and September. This will be my parting gift to Imo people”.

On the Urban Renewal Programme the governor stressed “For the landlords that have renovated their houses along Wethedral and Douglas Roads and those making effort to make the city clean, the government shall give them a special package in terms of some kinds of waiver, in property rates and other fees associated with buildings. We are more interested in giving the city a facelift to making more IGR”.
He added “We have also manufactured some special trucks for hawking. So those who are bent on hawking will no longer hawk carrying their goods on their heads. We have about 1,000 hawking carts with uniforms. We give to them and monitor how they use them so as to keep our environment clean.

The reality is that the Ugwumba Uche Nwosu governorship project has gone beyond a stage where anyone can just stop it. There is nobody, of course except God and the people of Imo State, who can stop the Ugwumba Uche Nwosu governorship project. This is because, the idea for Ugwumba Uche Nwosu to become governor was not muted by any individual or even any clique of individuals, but the majority of Imo people, as inspired by the Almighty God.

Those who think that any amount of blackmail will make Governor Rochas Okorocha decide to drop Ugwumba Uche Nwosu as his preferred governorship candidate are clearly deceiving themselves. A top APC chieftain told me sometime last year, that he will carefully hang around because it will get to a time when Governor Okorocha will become so pressured as a result of his support for Ugwumba Uche Nwosu, that he will have no option but to drop him. I told this man, then, and I am repeating it now, that Owelle Rochas Okorocha is not the main driver of the Ugwumba Uche Nwosu governorship ambition. God is the Chief pilot of this project and the people of Imo State, especially, the youths who are the second most important pilots of this project. So, if you think that you can by any trick or blackmail get Owelle to stop stop Ugwumba Uche Nwosu from becoming governor, then, you are merely having a bad nightmare.

In the first instance, it wasn't even Owelle Rochas Okorocha who anointed Ugwumba Uche Nwosu as his preferred successor, rather a majority of the people of Imo State anointed Ugwumba Uche Nwosu and compelled Owelle Rochas Okorocha to endorse him as his successor. Giving Owelle a condition that he has to drop Ugwumba Uche Nwosu as his preferred candidate is a total waste of time.

Let me reiterate; if you want to stop Ugwumba Uche Nwosu from emerging as governor of Imo State, then you have to stop the entire youths of Imo State, the artisans, the widows, farners, students and all others who are the major drivers of the Ugwumba Uche Nwosu governorship project. You also have to try to stop God, because God is the Chief pilot of this project.

As a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Ugwumba Uche Nwosu's governorship campaign will be based essentially on the achievements of the ruling Party, especially, here in Imo State. From the free education policy which has benefited every family in the State, to the massive provision of infrastructure across the State, to improvement on security of lives and properties, to the urban renewal program which has lifted Owerri, Orlu and Okigwe from glorified villages to some of the best and most organized cities in Nigeria, Ugwumba Uche Nwosu has a lot of things to campaign with as reasons why the people of Imo State should vote for a continuity of the APC in power.

As an individual, Ugwumba Uche Nwosu is coming into the governorship of the State with a huge history of achievements both in his personal business and in public service. Success follows the young man, everywhere he goes and there is no doubt that he will bring more prosperity to Imo people. A seasoned technocrat and chattered administrator, Nwosu is sure to run a very organized system as he will bring his over two decades of experience in cooperate governance and human management into bear in ensuring that Imo moves forward.

The real estate mogul also enjoys massive popularity among all classes of people in the State, especially, among the poor and the youthful population. The Nkwere born savvy investor banks on the support of the people of the State to emerge victorious in governorship election coming up next year and from all indications, he is the incoming governor of the State. This is because a majority of the people have taken a decision to stand with the man who has shown them so much love and made them feel belonged. Stakeholders from across different sectors of the Imo economy are also excited and positively inclined to his governorships ambition. This is because, any of them who has had cause to get involved in any dealing with Ugwumba Uche Nwosu confirms his intelligence, wonderful temperament and great passion for the continued development of Imo State. Ugwumba Uche Nwosu is a man who believes in carrying everyone along in the running of State business.

Ugwumba Uche Nwosu's support among politicians also cut across Party lines. While, he is going to be the flag bearer of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Nwosu has his supporters among the highest hierarchy of some of the strongest opposition political parties in the State. His age, integrity, humility and compassionate attributes easily draw people to him.

For majority of Imolites, Ugwumba Uche Nwosu's governorship ambition is a project that anyone that thinks good of the State must be committed to. A peaceful and highly understanding gentleman, Ugwumba Uche Nwosu is one of the few Nigerian politicians whom no one can really say he has something tangible against. He is at peace with everyone and even when he is offended by some people, he does not keep such hurts to heart. He forgives easily and carries on like nothing has ever gone wrong.

Chief Innocent Onyendu from Avu in Owerri West LGA of the State recently shared his feelings about Uche Nwosu with some of his friends. According to him; "That young man is a special kind of leader. I have been in politics for a while, but I haven't met a politician that is as genuinely kind as Ugwumba Uche Nwosu. Once I had some issues that needed the intervention of the government to resolve, I ran into him when he came to inspect a construction work going on around my neighborhood, I tried to approach him, but his aides stopped me. 

On noticing my struggles with his aides, he asked that I should be allowed to come and meet him. I told him my problems. He took my details and I actually took it for granted that he has played politics with me. I had almost lost hope with the promise he made to me on that, when after like two months, I received a call from someone in government telling me that the problem had been resolved. After necessary documentations, I got my paycheck, in full." That is actually the kind of person Ugwumba Uche Nwosu is. He has helped thousands of people resolve their problems as a Commissioner and now as Chief of Staff, there is no doubt that as governor, he will be accessible and quite helpful to more and more Imolites.

Most importantly, Ugwumba Uche Nwosu's governorship has Divine unction. His is a Divine Mandate that cannot be derailed by any human. God has seen in Ugwumba Uche Nwosu, that leader who will place more emphasis on lifting the poor, assisting the weak and protecting widows, orphans and the less privileged. God has anointed him, just like He did to King David, to fight for the people of Imo, to consolidate on the gains of the past seven years and also improve where necessary.

IMO IS MOVING FORWARD...

******Insists Okorocha still in charge of party structure. 

Amidst the controversies trailing APC congresses in Imo State,Ugwumba Uche Nwosu the Nkwerre born Chief of Staff to the governor remains the most qualified, competent and best candidate to step into the big shoes of Owelle Rochas Ethelbert Anayo Okorocha in 2019 as governor for continuity and for the overall good of Imolites.

The above state was the submission of Comrade Jeff Nwoha, the Grand Patron of Imo youths and General Manager of Environmental Transformation Company (ENTRACO) while addressing journalists in Owerri last Monday, said that Owelle Rochas Okorocha remains the Governor and leader of APC in the state, firmly in-charge, bearing the banner of the Ugwumba governorship project which no man can stop.
He told Imo youths not to panic as the train is on course stating that “the Ugwumba project is divine and no man born of woman can frustrate what God has designed and those who are fighting Uche Nwosu are only wasting their time”.

According to Nwoha who said he had known Chief Uche Nwosu for a long time and can attest to his qualities, qualifications and capabilities.He further stated that out of all the people aspiring for the coveted seat in Douglas house, Uche is the only one that has the capacity and zeal to transform Imo state and continue with the Rescue Mission agenda initiated by the peoples Governor and Commander of Free Education in Nigeria”.

He went on to assert that Uche Nwosu is a humble, peace loving and articulate leader who knows what the people need and desire hence he is ready and willing to deliver effectively. He urged Imo youths to unite to make Ugwumba Nwosu governor, retorting that those fighting him are enemies of the state whose antics, coalition and plans, should be discountenanced by all Imolites especially the youths whose future is at stake.

Hon. Nwoha argued that apart from the flimsy reasons by detractors and the opposition, that the gentleman is married to Governor Okorocha’s daughter, there is nothing that disqualifies him morally, legally or constitutionally from becoming the next governor describing him as “an accomplished fine gentleman and a patriot.
He further contended that Uche Nwosu’s emergence as governor is what is needed to sustain and protect Okorocha’s many legacies and that so far both the youths and elders have started strategizing and mobilizing effectively to see that this divine mandate of God is not truncated by those who have no love for our people knowing that his emergence will continue to improve the welfare of the people who they have held in bondage for years before the coming of Owelle.

********Set to dump coalition movement to pursue individual dreams.

Despite the Friday 18th May 2018 Court injunction stopping the coalition group from holding the State congress in Imo state on Saturday the 19th, they secretly conducted the Congress that same Friday.

It was gathered that the coalition group are hellbent in destroying the hard earned reputation of the only elected APC Governor in the South East His Excellency Owelle Anayo Rochas Okorocha.

According to a source who pleaded anonymity to www.ameborave.com, "The Congress held yesterday in secret amidst rented crowd, and the coalition members are in hiding for carrying out illegal gathering". Also Hope Uzodimma, Jude Ejiogu, and Madumere are regretting their ordeal with Ararume. They have completely lost trust in him and wishes to purse their ambition individually".

Recall that the Imo Commissioner of Police have vowed to deal decisively with anyone that flouts the Court injunction. Ameborave Blog will continue keeping you updated as events unfolds as regards the APC congress in Imo.

The last may not have been heard in the ongoing rift in Imo APC where a group of the party faithful called Coalition Group and the State Government over the party congress.

On the 5th May 2018, the coalition group and its agents absconded with the Congress materials meant for the Ward and LGA Congresses in the State.

Recall that a week ago, the force headquarters paraded 4 suspects with Imo APC congress materials in a hotel located in the Nations capital territory.

Meanwhile, some party members loyal to Governor Okorocha have obtained an injunction stopping the Congress in the State.

- CONFIRMS THE NON-PROVISION OF THE SENSITIVE MATERIALS INCLUDING RESULT SHEETS

The voluminous report signed by the Commission’s Administrative Secretary in the State, Barr. T.O.N Ongele also confirmed that the exercise was characterized “in its entirely with confusion and controversies as reported by the officers that monitored the Congress at the various Wards and Local Government Areas”.

On the conduct of the Congress, the report stated “the State Chairman of the Party, Chief Dr. Hillary Ekeh in his letter to the REC had indicated that the list of presiding officers, returning and electoral officers for the Congress in the various wards will be duly submitted to the REC’s office few hours before the election”.

The report continued “Given this, the Head of Election and Political Party monitoring had requested all the EOs to report at the State office at Owerri by 8.00am on Saturday morning to collect all the relevant details expected to be provided by the State Chairman as well as the checklist. At about 9.20am the REC put a call across to the Chairman of the Congress Committee, Chief Inibehe Okori, informing him that we were awaiting the list of contact persons.

“He confirmed that he was in a meeting with the governor and will get back to the REC as soon as he is through.

The report further said “It is pertinent to state that the Ward Congress in its entirely was characterized with Confusion and Controversies as reported by the officers that monitored the Congress at the various wards and LGAs.

The report continued “In some of the LGAs, the INEC monitors reported that result sheets were not provided for the Congresses and in some, electoral personnel were not seen. In some other instances, the INEC monitors were told on arrival that the Congress had been concluded. In some other LGAs there was no evidence that the Congress took place”.

The INEC report also contained reports from the individual Local Governments in the State. For instance, the Electoral officer for Mbaitoli LGA, Odilinye Mary Ngozi in her report dated 7/5/18, which she sent to the REC through the Administrative Secretary wrote “sequel to the directive given by the Department of Election and Party monitoring to monitor the Ward Congress of APC at the 12 wards in Mbaitoli LGA scheduled to hold on 5th May, 2018, I thereby redeployed the Staff to the various venue of the Congress which was at each ward Party offices to monitor the exercise”.

She further stated in her report “the Staff on reaching to the different Party offices discovered that they were all locked up. The Electoral Officer called and asked them to move to Coalition Centres. A point should be made that no result sheets or names of Planning Committee members or list of nominated Candidates were issued. No document of any kind had been given”.

For Isiala Mbano LGA, the EO, Mr. Okike Emeka in his report Stated “The All Progressives Congress, (APC) Ward Congress scheduled to hold at the various wards in Isiala Mbano LGA on the 5th May 2018, was marred with Controversies as reported by our Staff that were at the various venues to monitor the 12 Wards in the LGA during the Congress. There was no fixed time for the Congress and this left most people in the dark”.

He continued “We were told that from our letter that the Congress will take place at various ward Party offices, but the pictorial evidences showed that most party offices were under lock and keys. I wish to reiterate that internal democracy is the backbone of real democracy. Political Parties should always strive to play by the rule of the game and should try and resolve their differences before going for Congresses or elections as the case may be”.

......DEMANDS FOR THE IMMEDIATE REMOVAL OF SEN OSITA IZUNASO, APC NATIONAL ORGANIZING SECRETARY.

Nigerian youths under the auspices of Democratic Youth Congress for PMB 2019 gallantly shut down the National Secretariat of the APC to press home their demands for the immediate removal of Sen. Osita Izunaso, the purported National Organizing Secretary of the APC.

This patriotic call was championed by the National Chairman of DYC, Hon. Kassim Muhammad Kassim, Member, Nasarawa State House of Assembly over the shenanigan, abuse of office, cluelessness, highhandedness and despotic tendencies of Izunaso which has generated tension, confusion and acrimony amongst Party loyalists across almost 28 States of the federation during the recently concluded Ward and LGCS Congresses in some states.

The most annoying show of shame displayed by Sen. Izunaso is that of Imo State where he committed lots of atrocities by preventing the Imolites of APC extraction from electing their Ward Exco. Out of desperation and selfish interest, he sat in a hotel alongside his co-travellers, hurriedly cooked results and sent to the National Secretariat that Ward Congresses took place in Imo State whereas there was nothing like that.

His actions and that of his co-conspirators is a calculated attempt to frustrate Rochas Okorocha out of the Party and possibly prepare grounds for the humiliation of Baba Buhari in the forthcoming 2019 polls in Imo State in particular and the South Eastern States in general.

Where was Sen. Osita when Rochas led the APGA faction for the formation of APC?
Where was Sen Izunaso when Okorocha nurtured APC from infancy till date in the South East?

As stakeholders in the Party, we can't fold our hands and watch this kind of malicious brigandage been perpetrated against the SENIOR STAKEHOLDERS of APC. We have taken over the secretariat and we shall not move an inch until Osita is removed from office and new date is fixed for Imo State Ward and LGA Congresses.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Rt. Hon. Shuaibu Sani, 
Director-General, 
New Media and Publicity, DYC

Popular lawyer and activist, Anthony Chyma, has fired back at the National Publicity Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, for describing Imo State governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, as “being malicious and unfair to the NWC”.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) National Working Committee (NWC) has warned the governor of Imo State, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, against transferring his mismanagement relationship with his people to the party’s national leadership.

Abdullahi had accused the governor of being malicious and frustrated. “With due respect, Governor Okorocha is being malicious and unfair to the NWC. If he has mismanaged his relationship with his own people, in a way that they now constitute an encumbrance to him, he should not transfer his frustration to the NWC,” Bolaji had said.
Reacting, however, Chyma said Bolaji’s statement was most uncharitable considering the contribution of Governor Okorocha to the APC.

Briefing journalists yesterday in his office in Abuja, Chyma said the vituperation of the spokesman on the executive governor of Imo State was totally uncalled for and not deserving of the role of a National Publicity Secretary of a governing party.

“As a publicity secretary of the party, he should have come by way of amenable statement and not aggravating the situation.

“Rochas Okorocha, is the current governor and has all the information on issues bedevilling the party.
“It amounts to bias to castigate the governor in such a manner and leaves the party open to unnecessary bashing.

“It does not speak well of the office of the national publicity secretary and generally the entire party. His bias as a national officer is tantamount to hard sell,” he said. Chyma further stated that it’s shocking to hear the image maker of the APC resort to tarnishing the image which he should be protecting.

The lawyer reminded the APC spokesman that Governor Okorocha’s claim of no ward congress held in Imo State on May 5 has been vindicated by the Nigeria Police Force who recently paraded four suspects arrested in an Abuja hotel who allegedly stole APC ward congress materials meant for Imo State.

He said the police investigation has also revealed a link to a serving Senator from Imo State as 68 numbers of APC ward congress results sheets, 6 numbers of APC LGA results sheets, 6 LGAs officers and delegates list and 130 APC delegates nomination forms were displayed as items recovered from the suspects.

He insisted that by the actions of the police, the Imo State governor has been vindicated that no congress took place in Imo State. He urged the APC leadership to heed the side of truth and equity.

Unfortunately for him, Jasper was paired with an experienced Lawmaker cum a good Orator who mesmerised him and kept him in a balance.

A source close to www.ameborave.com who pleaded anonymity posited that the coalition group told Azuatalam to dish the watching public with lies that look real but unfortunately for him, the revered Lawmaker lashed on the BOT member so much so that he forgot the script he came to the program with.
