- -As Ararume, Ohakim, Others Show Solidarity To Imo Delegations
The Senator representing Imo West in the National Assembly and former Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha has shunned and distanced himself from his constituents at the ongoing APC National Convention holding today at Eagle’s Square, Abuja.
Rochas Okorocha who was sighted at the venue of the convention accompanied by his children and some other persons singing to his glory as he goes about greeting delegates from other states decided to feign ignorance of his constituents on citing Gov. Hope Uzodimma who doubles and the Charmain Technical Committee breezed out through the large crowd of Imo contingents to other other states.
It was gathered that the likes of Sen. Ifeanyi Ararume and others in the camp of the embattled former Imo State Governor, took turns to identify and show solidarity to Imo delegations as they exchanged pleasantries with the State Governor.
The action of Rochas Okorocha may be linked to the outright refusal of his purported delegate list from his camp that was rejected by the NWC of the APC as that of Gov. Hope Uzodimma prevailed coupled with the fact that none of his people made it to the state contingent.
The former Governor had in past weeks declared to run for the number one office in the country and his actions has clearly showed that he may be interested in the support of other states rather than his own state and constituents. This action has been condemned by Imolites and Nigerians as they say that charity begins at home.
Some of the leaders seen in the Imo State contingent includes, His Excellency, former Governor of Imo State, Ikedi Ohakim, Sen. Ifeanyi Ararume, Sen. Frank Ibezim, Amb. Greg Mbadiwe, Chief Tony Chukwu, Chief Marcon Nlemigbo, Hon. Ebere Macdonald (APC Chairman, Imo State), Nze Chinasa Nwaneri. Others are IMHA Speaker, Rt. Hon Kennedy Ibeh, Deputy speaker, Rt. Hon. Amara Iwuanyanwu, Hon. Ekene Nnodumele (Orsu), Hon. Eddy Obinna and a host of other lawmakers, commissioners, appointees of Government and members of the party in the state.
