Following the April 11, 2015 Imo Governorship result which the INEC has declared inconclusive, the Emeka Ihedioha campaign organization has gone into a sober reflection. Even though the organization has declared that the results were “Written”, it is yet to get over the shock on how the Rochas Okorocha and APC machine over-rawed the Ihedioha Group in all the LGAs in the state.
As a result of this scenario, the Ihedioha campaign organization was shaken to its foundation and has gone back to the drawing Board to prepare for the April 25 re-run election.
Trumpeta learnt that Ihedioha was not happy with both his “Generals and foot Soldiers” as the out-come of the election dazed him, whether it was “Written” or voted.
“It is certain that Ihedioha is not happy with the result because it does not reflect the real out-come of the ballot. But he is not happy how his men were outsmarted and manipulated by the Okorocha magic” A source close to the Ihedioha Campaign Team told Trumpeta.
This Newspaper was told that Ihedioha has all the rights in the world to be angry as those he felt would deliver their zones even failed in their Booths, despite how they have been parading as political Generals, exploiting the PDP Governorship candidate.
“Imagine his Deputy, Chuma Nnaji losing Njaba LGA. Look at Owerri Municipal. Willie Amadi and Co failed. Iwuanyanwu, and Sam Daddy failed in Ikeduru. Even Anyaehie, Udenwa, Ben Ekwueme, Elvis Agukwe and others could not deliver their own LGAs. It was a total disappointment and you don’t expect Ihedioha to be smiling” Trumpeta was told.
Trumpeta was told that Ihedioha surrounded himself with the same set of people that ruined Governor Ikedi Ohakim in 2011 election.
Ihedioha was therefore warned to rejig his campaign organization without looking at faces, but productivity.
“Can you imagine that Chris Okewulonu, the Director-General of the Campaign Organization failed in Obowo LGA? This is incredible! What reason has these people to gallivant around Ihedioha again? They should go home now and work incase of a fresh poll” Trumpeta was told.
Meanwhile, the people of Orlu zone in Imo state have vowed to retain power in the state as long as they wish, since their numerical strength will always make them decide who becomes the Governor of Imo state at any give time.
Speaking to Trumpeta under anonymity, one of the PDP heavy weights from Orlu who defected to the APC told Trumpeta that Okorocha will win in Orlu no matter the number of times the election is held.
“Orlu zone will ever vote for their son Roachas Okorocha, no matter how many times you conduct the election. Orlu cannot leave their son and vote for any other candidate” he told Trumpeta.
