Okorocha’s victory, people’s power – ACN youths

By Samuel Oyadongha

Yenagoa – The national youth leader of Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, Ebikibina Miriki, has lauded the election of Mr. Rochas Okorocha of the All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA, as the governor-elect of Imo State, saying it was an indication of the people’s power to elect leaders of their choice.

Miriki, a former chairman of the Conference of Nigerian Political Parties, CNPP, in Bayelsa State and former state chairman of the ACN, in an interview in Yenagoa, said Okorocha’s victory at Imo supplementary election was a clear warning to other non-performing incumbent governors that the electorate had the power to dislodge them from office.

Describing the recent changes recorded in some states where the incumbent governors were swept out of office by the people’s power as a political watershed, the ACN youth leader commended the steadfastness of the electorate in voting out incumbent governors who failed to live up to their electioneering promises.

He said: “Our political culture is gradually evolving to a level where the people’s power counts. It shows that where the electorate are determined, their will cannot be wished away.”

Even the acn candidate in imo state has been working hand-in-hand with rochas hitherto the victory. Ohakim was perceived by all the political big wigs as one arrogant raggamuffin that must be taught lesson through disgraceful ousting. Acn (ararume and udenwa) will play a vital role in rochas' administration. And i look forward to the day that our people will start politics as something that is beyond party allegiance which is what is trying to play out in the case of imo state.
