The second term aspiration of Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State to govern the state may have suffered a major setback as the people of Orlu Senatorial Zone where the governor hails have advised the governor to forget about his re-election bid as his first term was a disappointment to Imo State, particularly Orlu geo-political zone.
The apex socio-cultural organisation of the entire Orlu geo-political zone, Orlu Zurumee, who cautioned the governor against dabbling into the governorship race, threatened to mobilize forces against him should he disregard this warning.
According to them, “no man however great is greater than his own people. Okorocha’s second term will be a disaster”.
Disclosing this stance, when the new Caretaker Committee members of the organization led by its President General, Prince Macdonald Akano, paid a courtesy visit to the Chairman of Imo State and South East Councils of Traditional Rulers in Owerri, Eze Cletus Ilomuanya, the Chairman, Board of Trustees (BOT) of the organization, Chief. Ray Okoro, averred that “Rochas has failed us and there is nothing positive again he can offer Orlu people in particular and Imo people in general”.
The BOT chairman, who described Ilomuanya as a goal getter and pride to Imo State, stated that “Rochas said he will stay for only four years and that a good student does not repeat class. We are tired of him just as his re-election will be a disaster to Imo State. Let him go in peace? He said Orlu Zurumee is undergoing restructuring and therefore needed the support of well meaning Orlu people to achieve its aims.
Adducing reasons Governor Okorocha should be halted in his second term aspiration, the new President General of Orlu Zurumee and former Special Adviser on Project Monitoring to Governor Okorocha, Prince MacDonald Akano, argued that “Okorocha has over-stayed his welcome and that there is dire need for positive change in Imo State”.
Akano told Eze Ilomuanya, whom he described as a big masquerade that cannot be easily tossed around, that “when a true Igbo man takes over power by May 29, 2015 in Imo State, we will rejoice with you. Right now, we are in bondage”. He praised the monarch for promoting the identity of Ndigbo in Nigeria, positing that ‘as an asset the entire Orlu people are with you and your fight is our fight. -Dailyindependent reportage.
