| Araraume, Rochas & Ohakim. |
The
Governorship Candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA in Imo
State, Senator Ifeanyi Araraume has said that the 12 years of both former
governor, Ikedi Ohakim and that of Rochas Okorocha is the worst time of
experience by Imo State.
Answering
questions from Vanguard Newspapers on whether zoning is still a factor in Imo
politics given the agitation for power to shift to a particular area of the
state?
He
says: “Some states have gotten it right as regards zoning, but in Imo State,
people are still a little bit confused. But, one thing that is certain is that
nobody in Imo State will look in the direction of Imo West Senatorial District
because since Nigeria’s return to democratic rule in 1999, the zone has had
power for almost 16 years. So, it is unfair no matter whoever is looking at it,
to elect somebody from Imo West as Okorocha’s successor”.
He
Continued: Although sometimes, people say that there is no fairness in
politics, I believe that there should be fairness. Even if you overlook the
political parties and focus on individuals, post-Okorocha era demands that Imo
people should look at the individuals aspiring to be governor because it is not
going to be like the government after Udenwa. You know that we had four years
of Ikedi Ohakim after Udenwa, which like the Okorocha administration, was not a
pleasant experience in terms of development indices. When you put this
together, it has been 12 years that the state has gone through trauma.
Therefore, it is not going to be an easy task, governing Imo State from May 29,
2019, but we have to start from somewhere.
