There is the need to continue to interrogate false claims put forward by some vested interests in the polity. As the 2023 general elections draw closer, such false claims will abound. But we won't spare them.

With the 2019 governorship election sealed by the Supreme Court in 2020, some interested politicians and commentators have come up with all kinds of subterfuge with the aim to create confusion and chaos. They are spinning the story that Owerri Zone is marginalised and has not been allowed to produce the Governor of the State. Some of them who want to be a bit honest postulate that Owerri Zone has not been allowed to complete their tenure. They forget that the only process that can produce an Executive Governor is politics. The wind of politics does not blow towards one direction alone, and it is capable of blowing away anything in its sight, even blowing away a sitting Governor.

Chief Samuel Onunaka Mbakwe became Governor of old Imo State on October 1, 1979. He contested for second term and won amidst stiff opposition from Owerri Zone, but he was removed by the military on December 31, 1983 when the wind of politics and power play blew against him. He actually had no one to blame. The military officers who plotted and executed the coup also wanted a taste of power. Mbakwe was from Obowo, present day Okigwe Zone.

In January 1992 Chief Evan Enwerem was elected Governor of present day Imo State but was removed from office by the military in November 1993, when the wind of politics blew against him. He could not actually blame anyone, because as Owerri people now claim - mmanu akara di uto, onye ratu ibe ya a ratu - the military officers who plotted and executed the coup in 1993 also wanted a taste of political power
