By Onyekachi Eze
Few days to the long awaited governorship election across the country, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC in Imo State, Senator Hope Uzodinma has received the assurances of his constituents of Awo Omamma extraction.
No matter how one see the guber bid of the Senator representing Orlu zone in the National Assembly (Senate), his declaration to govern the State has been greeted as a welcome development, and a dawn of new era in the history of governorship of Imo.
While the Oru East born politician keep bagging supports of the masses, a notable structure identified as "Awo Omamma Agenda 2019 Hope For Governor" has vowed to deliver their brother in the upcoming Saturday's election.
Speaking with Trumpeta correspondent in Oru East over the weekend, during the grand finale of the Senator's campaign, the Coordinator of the Agenda, Nze Nyerere Ogbonna said Hope Uzodinma's guber ambition is a collective responsibility for Imolites across board.
Nyerere described the APC candidate as a round peg in a round hole, as well as the true definition of the adage, 'A gold fish which has no hiding place", whose governorship ambition has rekindled hope for Imo masses.
He attributed Uzodinma as the only candidate with the magic wand of transforming the State to an enviable heights, especially as the State is in dire need of revival from Okorocha's misrule.
Also, he disclosed that by his political and leadership sagacity, he would restructure the State, as well as attract the dividends of democracy.
'Omekannaya' as fondly called said, the election of March 9, 2019 will determine the fate of Imolites for the next four, hence the clamour to vote massively for Uzodinma.
Nze Nyerere however extolled the leadership prowess of Honorable Nkenna John Nzeruo, member representing Oru East LGA in Imo State House of Assembly.
He said Nzeruo has exhibited what lawmaking should be, which has been on the expectations of Ndi Oru East. Therefore, he eulogized his undaunted love for his constituents, and support for Senator Hope Uzodinma, even when he was persuaded by Okorocha's led government to rain abuses on the Distinguished Senator.
In a related development, the Agenda Coordinators from the 4 wards in Awo Omamma viz; Mr. Eugene Ekeoma (Ward 1), Nze Nyerere Ogbonna (ward 2), Chief Douglas Olemeforo (ward 3), and Chief Anthony Akuneme (ward 4), other notable leaders of Awo Omamma; Nze Raymond Ibekwe, Nze Nnamdi Onyeka, Hon Chimezie Udogwuh, Dr. Emma Ogbenta, Elder Aloy Nnawugo, Mr. Chimezie Sobiere pledged to give the Senator a 99% votes on Saturday.
While expressing optimism that Uzodinma's leadership would be people oriented if elected, they warned thugs to stay off Awo Omamma, as they unequivocally assured to vote and protect their votes.
In the same vein, they called on the Imo electorates not to waste their votes, voting in continuation of anarchy, misrule, untold hardship and negligence of the rule of law, rather, should vote for APC for an everlasting joy and people oriented government.
Guber: Prince Maxwell Plumps Igwe Makes Case For Owerri Zone, Ihedioha
The former Deputy Vice President and financier of Owerri Zone leaders Political Forum (OZOLPOF), Prince Maxwell Philips -Igwe (Enyioha), has enjoined the people of Orlu and Okigwe zones to respect the spirit and letters of the Imo Bond of Equity, and support a governor of Owerri zone-extraction in the forthcoming governorship election slated for Saturday, March 9, 2019.
Prince Igwe, who made the call in a press statement he personally signed, with the title: "A Passionate Appeal To The Great And Good People Of Orlu And Okigwe Zones To Support Owerri Zone For The Actualization Of The Mandate To Govern Imo State", pointed out that for the mantra of equity, justice and fairness to be meaningful and purposeful to Imo people, it will be appropriate and proper that a governorship candidate from Owerri zone should be supported and given the mandate and mantle to govern the state this time.
According to him: "We surely do need your total support and full backing to be able to actualize our long delayed and overdue but rightly deserved goal of becoming the governor of Imo state.
"You will also agree with me that in all ramifications, 'Power belongeth unto God and He alone can make or mar'. We all do believe and hold that even God has ordained an Owerri candidate for the seat", adding that the people of Owerri zone will not forget their sacrifice, support, and efforts and would definitely reciprocate accordingly and appropriately.
Prince Igwe, a top player in the marine, oil and gas industry, who aspired to represent Owerri zone in the red chambers on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), further recommended former Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives and gubernatorial candidate of the People's Democratic- Party (PDP), Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha, as the most qualified, most focused, and visionary, among those jostling to occupy the Douglas House, emphatically stating: "Let us make the mandate real. Let us come out massively to vote our own Emeka Ihedioha for governor, Imo State on March 9, 2019; to make for equity, justice and fairness".
He equally called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), security operatives and Imo people to strive to have a hitch-free, non-violence, free, fair and peaceful election next Saturday.
