EX-IMO GOV. IKEDI OHAKIM SET TO COME BACK

The former Imo Governor, ran and lost against Gov. Rochas Okorocha in the 20ll governorship race. In 2015 he also ran and lost the governorship primary to Rt. Hon. Emeka lhedioha on the platform of PDP. Ohakim hails from Okohia in Isiala Mbano LGA of the state. He is known for his Clean and Green programme from 2007 to when he was governor.

He returned from his political sabbatical in 2018 when he indicated interest to go back to Douglas House to complete his 8 years on the platform of APGA, with the promise to make up for his first 4 years and to make Imo Work Again. But after the troubled APGA primaries, he moved to Accord Party as the standard bearer.

He is preaching about Otu Onu’ (serving only one term) and his demonstrable experience for the job. He is banking on his experience, capacity and credibility to return him to Douglas House, having sworn an affidavit in court to, according to him, fix Imo as a chief mechanic.

However, some believe, it does not appear there is anything new he will bring on board. In fact, that his past will turn out his greatest undoing, as the Imo electorates have not forgotten the circumstances that led to his humiliating defeat in 20ll. He is the only governorship candidate that chose a woman as running mate, Lady Ann Dozie, from the famous Paschal Dozie family in Emekuku, Owerri North LGA. She is a former Commissioner for Women Affairs, a grassroots politician. She is a women mobiliser.
