The political structure of the Chief of Staff to the Imo State governor, Chief Uche Nwosu is ailing with some of his trusted dumping him for another frontline contender for the governorship of the state come 2019.
Though, Nwosu who is son in law to the governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha is yet to make his desire open about governorship race, feelers in the state have it that he is the anointed candidate to get the backing of the incumbent as successor.
In this regard, a structure known as Ugwumba Movement has emerged said to be a political structure to propagate the interest of the Nkwerre LGA born government official.
Latest reports have it that his soul-mates in the field of politics are gradually pulling out from his side thereby sending bad signals of doomsday ahead 2019.
Latest information from the camp of the Rescue Mission where Nwosu bestrides as an authority has it that barely 24 hours after the reported departure of a former appointee of Governor Okorocha on ICT and Social Media, IK Ogbonna, another ally of Nwosu, names withheld has reportedly called it quits with the camp of the COS.
Ogbonna, though from Abia State has been a notable associate of Nwosu from their days at the Imo State University where they graduated, only the Chief of Staff was said to have facilitated his appointment as an aide in 2012.
It was learnt that based on old acquaintance Nwosu has with some alumnus of IMSU, he facilitated the appointment of the likes of Ogbonna who became an arch supporter and sympathizer of the Rescue Mission until recently when he was dropped.
With preparations for next year election taking shape, Ogbonna, a household name believed to have been in charge of the social media arm of Nwosu and Okorocha’s stay in office have jettisoned them for a new group. Trumpeta learnt that he has pitched tenth with another APC chieftain, Senator Araraume, rumoured to be interested in becoming the next governor of the state.
In a similar action, a political activists and one of the strong men of APC politics in the state, whose name is shrouded in secrecy to avoid victimization has joined the Araraume/Izunaso line up. The said before turning his back on Nwosu was said to be a close confidant and supporter of the governor’s in law for over two decades.
Our newspaper further gathered that other appointees and associates milking Nwosu and Okorocha dry at the moment, but set to dump them for other aspirants are many. The development is also rumoured to be worrying Nwosu as the attitude of his once trusted allies is a bad omen to the plans of Ugwumba Movement transforming into a political structure for 2019 governorship.
Further disclosure has it that most of the LGA party Chairmen are thinking about Araraume by engaging in private meetings with Destiny Organization officials.
Irked by this, Trumpeta was informed that officials of Rescue Mission are targeting some of the Araraume new converts for either suspension or complete removal as an office holder of the party.
After the controversial attempt to remove the APC LGA chairman of Ohaji/ Egbema, Rev Emma Ebomuche, there are fresh attempts to pass vote of no confidence on the party chairman of Oguta, Casmir Ohamara. Their offence is dumping the Rescue Mission for Araraume.
