Yesterday the governorship candidate of APC for 2019 Imo state elections was arrested on his touch down at the airport. He and his company stand accused of fraudulently collecting the sum $12 million contracted to them for dredging in Calabar. The contract has not been executed. After several notifications the man failed to appear before the court and the magistrate ordered his arrest.

The major cause of water over flooding its banks in communities around river Niger during the raining season is the failure of government to dredge that river. Dredging of the river will allow water follow its course and communities will be safe during the raining season. With this kind of fraud going on without abate in this country what is the hope of these communities? Ironically many of these leaders come from these communities.

APC has claimed to be a party of "honest" men. A very "honest president" and now this very "honest" governorship candidate. When will all these end in this country? With this arrest if APC claims to be what they claim to be then that Hope Uzodimma should be stopped from getting to government house Owerri as the next governor. It is fraud and looting galore with this APC party. Oshiomole accused of fraud. Practically every leader in the APC accused of one fraud or the other. What makes that party better than the PDP?

Please take us back to 2009 as you said recently. At least in 2009 food was far cheaper. No kidnappers, far less violence, fuel was cheaper, relative peace in the land, life was far better.
