Imo PDP elders urge Jonathan to woo Araraume
0
By Our Reporter on February 2, 2015 Trending

By WILLY EYA

Determined to win the February 28 gove r nor sh ip election, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) el­ders in Imo State may have reached out to President Goodluck Jonathan to in­fluence the support of Sena­tor Ifeanyi Araraume for the flag bearer of the party, Emeka Ihedioha.

Daily Sun gathered that worried by the controversy that trailed the emergence of Ihedioha as the PDP’s gover­norship candidate in the state, the elders resolved to ensure that President Goodluck Jona­than intervenes in the situa­tion.

A source on condition of anonymity told Daily Sun that the elders wanted President Jonathan to prevail on Senator Ifeanyi Araraume to support Ihedioha by publicly raising his hands and asking his sup­porters to cease their hostility and rejection of the deputy speaker of House of Repre­sentatives.

The elders, it was gathered, were worried that except Ara­raume supports Ihedioha, the PDP would not be able to upstage the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.

A top PDP national officer, Daily Sun learnt, was man­dated to book an appointment with the president for the el­ders to meet with him for the purpose of persuading Ara­raume to support Ihedioha for PDP’s victory in Imo State.

The source added that since it was obvious that Ihedioha could not win the Imo gov­ernorship without Araraume, PDP did not want to further lose control by ignoring the former senator.

Recently, after electing Chief Emmanuel Iwuan­yanwu as their chairman and Mr. Peter Mgbenwelu as secretary, the elders had ex­pressed worry that since the Araraume factor could not be wished away, there was need to convince him to support Ihedioha.

It was gathered that the el­ders’ dilemma stemmed from field reports that Araraume still enjoyed a large following in the state.

However, Daily Sun learnt that the feeling among the el­ders was that since Ihedioha had been presented with the flag and until the pronounce­ment by the courts, Araraume should be prevailed upon to appeal to his supporters and Imo people to support the deputy speaker.

But the development came even as Araraume campaign organization declared recent­ly that the only way to true reconciliation was for PDP to hand over the governorship ticket won by Araraume on December 8, 2014 to him.

Okorocha and FG projects in Imo State
January 29, 2015 by Peter Osamgbi 1 Comment

As the campaigns hot up, each political party is making frantic efforts to woo the electorate for their votes. While some are doing this with every sense of responsibility, tact and facts, some are embarking on it with bare face lies all due largely to desperation for votes.

The irony of this is that every government, whether state or federal, has four years to impact on the lives of the people. Nonetheless, when they fail, rather than eat the humble pie, you see some political office holders claim projects that they did neither conceive, execute nor inaugurate.

This brings me to the situation in Imo State today, where Governor Rochas Okorocha is appearing desperate for the people’s votes and in the process dishing out tissues of lies, taking credit for projects executed by the Federal Government under different interventionist funds. This approach to Okorocha may be an easy route to “victory”, but it falls flat in the altar of truth, civility and genuine accountability.

Okorocha must know what this election is all about; for the avoidance of doubt, this election is about the scorecard of the incumbent leadership, particularly in Imo where the average voter is raising serious questions about the much taunted achievements of the governor, against the backdrop of the many Federal Government projects executed in the state.

All these wouldn’t have been necessary, but for Okorocha’s vituperations towards the Minister of State for Education, Prof. Viola Onwuliri, who had, in good faith, informed the good people of Imo about the Federal Government’s effort in bringing development to the state, an action which Okorocha found uncomfortable with.

During a recent visit to the three senatorial zones in Imo State – Okigwe, Owerri and Orlu, the electorate were surprised to learn that the projects which hitherto had been claimed by the state government as their projects, were actually those carried out directly by the Federal Government or through its agencies, especially in the education sector where Okorocha had declared free education. The governor and his team did not stop at verbally claiming these projects, they attempted to label them as their own.

However, before going into the education sector, let it be known that the Federal Government under the leadership of President Goodluck Jonathan, has completed 225 units of three and three bedroom detached and semi-detached bungalows; four bedroom row and semi-detached duplex and five bedroom luxury duplex at Grace Estate, Irette, Owerri under partnership with the Federal Housing Authority and Tangent Limited. Is Okorocha aware that the power plant and skills acquisition centre in Egbema have been completed, as well as the Amuzi Dam?

Perhaps, the Imo State Governor will also feign ignorance of the completed prototype hostels; 174 rooms with 696 bed spaces in Federal University of Technology, Owerri. This is in addition to the e-library at the Federal Government College, Okigwe, and the Federal Government Girls College, Owerri.

Again, a 1000-seater lecture theatre, Optometry Department Building, Engineering Block and gigantic hostel building in FUTO have been completed. Also, in the education sector, the Federal Government has built and completed a six hundred self-contained hostel building in Lake Nwabere, as well as the new ICT Centre and new Faculty of Law Building in Imo State University owned by the Imo State Government, which the minister inaugurated.

It is no longer news that the Federal Government built and completed the administrative blocks and laboratory at the Imo State Polytechnic, Umuagwo. This is besides the construction of a vocational school at Mgbee village in Orlu Local Government Area, procurement of 737,602 instructional materials for all the primary schools in Imo State, and procurement of 60,750 library materials for all Junior Secondary Schools in Imo.

The Federal Government believes in the education of the people. Perhaps, I also need to inform the Imo State Government that since 2011, through the Imo SUBEB, Okorocha has accessed the Special Needs Education Intervention Fund to purchase assorted textbooks and instructional materials for six Special Education Schools across the state.

Imo people must also know that from 2010 to 2014, through the Universal Basic Education Matching Grant Disbursement, the state got N3.4bn, as of November 30, 2014. Sadly, this is what Governor Okorocha has deliberately and erroneously claimed before the people as projects carried out by his government.

I will like to point out a few other non-education projects in the state to Okorocha. He wouldn’t pretend not to know that the construction of the Inland River Port is 90 per cent complete, just as the Owerrinta Jetty is completed. These two very important projects will no doubt help the Oguta people link up with other riverine areas in Delta State.

One would have expected Okorocha to give credit to whom credit is due, the Federal Government, for its unrivalled presence in Imo, rather than this grandstanding, which is bordering on hubris.

Now that the chicken has come home to roost, I hope that when Okorocha reflects on these disclosures, he will have the courage to first, thank the Minister of State for Education for bringing out the truth, and ultimately apologise to Imo people for this apparent deceit; that is what a gentleman should do!

The collation of various youth organizations in Imo State converged in Owerri venue for this year Imo Youth Confab to brain storm on the way forward for youth’s participation in governance for the upcoming dispensation against 2015.
The theme of the event; “Youths Our Leadership Begins Today Not Tomorrow” had youths and their leaders numbering over 500 in a possession through the streets of Owerri to Rosy Art Theater Ikenegbu, to kick start the confab.
The youth in their agenda “The Stake Of Imo Youths in Pre and Post 2015 Election” unanimously agreed that 50% (fifty-percent) Affirmative action must be for youths participation in the 2015 government of Imo State with 25% (twenty-five percent) for elective position and 25% (twenty-five percent) for appointment positions which includes; Commissioners, Senior Special Aides in State and Federal.
They added that the State and Federal House of Assembly in Imo State must constitute at least 50% (fifty-percent) youth legislator, and all political Party’s must field a youth for the position of Deputy Governor for 2015 Guber election and any interim Government in 2015 must restore the 10,000 jobs.
Speaking Earlier at the event, a social crusader, youth activists and the professor of philosophy in the University of Uyo in Calabar, Prof. Uzoma Nathan stated that the confab was aimed at bringing together all Imo youths and their leaders who are dissatisfied with the happenings in the State and sort for the way forward.
He re-iterated the commitment of youths in Imo State in supporting every candidate with the interest of the youth at heart, pointing-out that 55% of the electorates in the State are youths who can determine the out-come of an election in every locality.
Prof. Uzoma Nathan noted that only the Peoples’ Democratic Party PDP have identified with the youths as partners in policy/decision making in the state, as he stressed that the All Progressive Congress APC have shown through their recent Presidential Primaries that the Youths and Ndigbo have no place in their politics.

Rochas Will Pay For Insults On Jonathan Education Minister, Viola Onwuliri Spits Fire Again! Reveals How Rescue Mission Claimed FG Projects As Orlu Zurumee Asks Governor to Pack n Go in 2015

Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has at different fora challenged the federal government to mention any legitimate project it has executed fully in Imo and this particular question has been putting President Jonathan and his campaign team to a bad light.
Against this back drop, Prof. Mrs Viola Onwuliri Minister in President’s cabinet, in a press session with Journalists in Owerri Monday presented numerous projects which the federal government under the leadership of President Jonathan has executed in Imo. She also declared that Okorocha must surely pay for the insult he has given to the President.
The minister for state on Education explained that President Goodluck Jonathan has done enough to Imo people. According to her, Mr President has done a lot of projects in the various institutions of Owerri including Imo state university that is owned by the state government.
She revealed that N5.5b was recently released to IMSU for the development of projects there. In addition, she hinted that equipment worth over N6b was supplied to IMSU for the upgrading of the Engineering Department and to make it more effective.
Prof Viola Onwuliri further said that the federal government provides N20m to support entrepreneurship at IMSU centre.
Other projects in Imo state under President Jonathan which the minister mentioned includes the twin storey buildings sponsored by federal government through Universal Basic Education (UBEC) in the 305 political wards of Imo state.
Contracts of Architectural Department at Poly Nekede, Rectors Office, Admin, block A,B,C ultra modern Diagnostic Complex pediatric Unit (FMC) Owerri. Projects at Alvan Ikoku Federal College of Education Owerri Imo State.
Professor Onwuliri maintained that the federal government has raised the standard of living of Imo people through different agencies adding that more will be done if President Jonathan comes back to power after the election. She raised eyebrows on the claims of the state government on some of these projects mentioned.
She regretted that Governor Rochas Okorocha has to open his mouth and insult the president in the name of politics.
“Okorocha will surely pay for all the insult that he has given to Mr President”. Prof Mrs Onwuliri declared.
She narrated that she knew Okorocha very well more than those who claim they are close to him. The minister disclosed that both of them started in Jos, Pleatus state.
Imo is unlucky to have Okorocha as governor”. Prof Mrs Onwuliri also said.
Meanwhile, second term aspiration of Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State to govern the state may have suffered a major set back as the people of Orlu Senatorial Zone where the governor hails from have advised the governor to forget about his re-election bid as his first term was a disappointment to Imo State, particularly Orlu geo-political zone.
The apex socio-cultural organization of the entire Orlu geo-political zone, Orlu Zurumee, who cautioned the governor against dabbling into the governorship race, threatened to mobilize forces against him should he disregard this warning. According to them “no man however great is greater than his own people Okorocha’s. Second term will be a disaster”.
Disclosing this stance when the new Caretaker Committee members of the organization led by its President General, Prince Macdonald Akano paid a courtesy visit to the Chairman of Imo State and South East Councils of Traditional Rulers in Owerri, HRH Eze (Dr.) Cletus Ilomuanya, the Chairman, Board of Trustees (BOT) of the Organization, Chief. Ray Okoro averred that “Rochas has failed us and there is nothing positive again he can offer Orlu People in particular and Imo people in general”.
The BOT Chairman who described Eze Ilomuanya as a goal getter and pride to Imo State, stated that “Rochas said he will stay for only four years and that a good student do not repeat class. We are tired of him just as his re-election will be a disaster to Imo State. Let him go in peace? He opined Orlu Zurumee is undergoing restructuring and therefore needed the support of well meaning Orlu people to achieve its aims.
Adducing reasons why Governor Okorocha should be halted in his second term aspiration, the new President General of Orlu Zurumee and former Special Adviser on Project Monitoring to Governor Okorocha, Prince MacDonald Akano, argued that “Okorocha has over stayed his welcome and that there is dire need for positive change in Imo State”.
Akano told Eze Ilomuanya, whom he described as a big masquerade that cannot’ be easily tossed around, that “when a true Igbo man takes over power by May 29, 2015 in Imo State, we will rejoice with you. Right now, we are in bondage”. He praised the monarch for promoting the identity of Ndigbo in Nigeria, positing that ‘as an asset the entire Orlu people are with you and your fight is our fight.
In his remarks, HRH Eze (Dr.) Cletus Ilomuanya advised the new leadership of Orlu Zurumee to remain focused as the task ahead is enormous. He enjoined them to be fair to all manner of persons, pointing out that Orlu people at home and in the Diaspora believe in them. “I have confidence in you and you can always count on my support”, Eze Ilomuanya assured.
Meanwhile, the re-election bid of President Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), got a boost over the weekend from the South East as traditional rulers in Imo State unanimously endorsed his re-election for a second term in office as Nigeria’s President.
The endorsement of President Jonathan during a courtesy call at the Palace Extension of the Chairman of Imo State and South East Councils of Traditional Rulers in Owerri, HRH Eze (Dr.) Cletus Ilomuanya, was thereafter followed by the pourng of royal blessings and libation for President Jonathan’s victory at the polls by the monarchs, who trooped out in their large numbers to welcome the President.
Speaking at the event, the Monarchs’ Chairman, Eze Cletus Ilomuanya assured President Jonathan of the total support of the Monarchs not only in Imo State but in the entire South East Zone. He said that the President’s achievements so far have endeared him to them, pointing out that Nigerians will appreciate more, the leadership qualities of President Jonathan during his second tenure in office.
“Imo State Traditional Rulers and indeed the South East unflinchingly support your laudable programmes and re-election bid. We, the kings have spoken and so shall it be,” Eze Ilomuanya told President Jonathan.
Earlier, President Goodluck Jonathan had commended the South East people for their consistent support, recalling that during the 2011 elections, “no party except the PDP got up to 5% of votes from the South East”. He stated that he is part of South East Zone, pointing out that this makes it imperative that PDP must win both the Presidency and the Imo governorship seat in next month’s election.
According to the president “Emeka Ihedioha is your in-coming governor. With Ihedioha holding sway here in Imo State as governor and I, as your President, we can achieve a lot for Imo State and the South East zone”. He thanked Imo people and the royal fathers for their prayers and support, assuring that he will reciprocate their goodwill

yu ve spoken well,but yur point of example In the south,i guess u re refering to akwa ibom state,and yur 2nd point of example in the west,i guess u re talking of lagos state,then north,kano state.
Akwa ibom anual allocation is 260bilion
lagos is 176b
kano is less dan dat..
Why imo,anambra nd other southeastern state,is just less dan 40b..
Pls my figure mayb wrong due to i ve forgot the accurate figure but what i want yu to know is that,

the highest revenue allocation can lead to massive development of a state
that s why am a pro supporters of willie obiano and rochas okorocha.This men stood out unique to prove to the world,that with little allocation being receives by fed govt,they can make their state stand out to be a place to be proud of as yu can see the few pix of imo and anambra state..

Bro yu cant denied the changes in recent time and overtime since development is a gradual process

So ndigbos as yu said ar not dumb as yu think,but we re moving forward to built our nation with time and change..

These are some of the things I can list as what President Jonathan have done for Ndi Igbo which no Hausa or Yoruba President have done.

1. Establishment of the 14th Brigade Ohafia with its supporting units (The 3rd Largest Barrack in Nigeria)

2. Establishment of Nigerian Army Language Institute (1st Army Institute in the East)

3. Siting the Proposed Nigerian Navy School of Counter - Terrorism in Oguta (The 1st in Nigeria)

4. Establishment of the Nigerian Airforce International Helicopter Training School in Enugu (The 1st of its kind in West Africa)

5. Establishment of Federal Road Safety Training School in Udi

6. Upgrading of the Prison Armed Squad Training School, Owerri

7. Upgrading the National Power Training Institute, Oji River

8. Siting the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Laboratory in Umuahia

9. Establishment of a Naval Base in Onitsha

10. Upgrading the Enugu Airport to International Stutus

11. Expansion and Equiping the Sam Mbakwe International Airport Owerri

12. Siting the DPR Laboratory for Petroleum Products in Owerri (The 1st in West Africa)

13. Making Anambra State an Oil Producing State despite ignorant opposition

14. Establishment of University and Federal Teaching Hospital in Ebonyi State

I can go on and on.
