Suxs to be ibo for real,

Actually, you should trust and respect authorities. Learn it pls, The authorities are there to protect your interest. Come back now and make peace with us before the champagne popping tonight. Ohakim is ever forgiving and understands that many were misled. He will accommodate all aggrieved!

Ohakim is not my governor,we all know how he became governor in 2007,a man who to beats up(actually allowed his security detail to beat up) a woman driving along Adeola Odeku with two of her kids in the car is even worse than a tramp so you should be happy I did not use a word worse than tramp to desribe Ohakim.

I'm a card-carrying PDP member from Delta state and would gladly have mobilised my supporters to vote against Ohakim,were I to be from Imo

Maybe you should be facing uduaghan and not come to put mouth here!

@Poster that is not true if you see the way people are shouting APGA while counting voters you will understand. People are just shouting APAGA=APGA Grin

Dream!

Solotuonye stop posting this rubbish you are posting, please. Look for something better to do with your life and stop working for this evil Ohakim.

Without being violent or abusive, Ohakimis leading in 3 LGAs confortably. The 4th LGA was cancelled!

Reports from various polling booths in the four LGAs (Ngor Okpalla, Mbaitoli, Ohaji – Egbema and Oguta) and one ward (Orji in Owerri North LGA) in Imo State, where the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) is conducting “Supplementary Elections” today, show that the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), incumbent Governor of Imo State, Dr. Ikedi Ohakim is leading his opponent, Chief Rochas Okorocha of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA).

In Oguta, Ohaji Egbema and Ngor Okpalla, PDP is said to be speedily garnering more votes than APGA. In Mbaitoli where voter preference has shifted substantially from APGA to PDP apparently in realization of the ploy by APGA to disrupt the zoning arrangement in the state to the disadvantage of Owerri zone, thugs said to be supporters of APGA have resorted to snatching of ballot boxes.

One Kemdi Opara of APGA reportedly came with thugs, snatched and carted away the ballot box in Polling Unit Numbers K2, K5 and K7 Umuchoke. Bus loads of APGA thugs were on rampage from Booth to Booth in Ezinihitte ward, Mbaitoli LGA.

In Booth J10, Amankuta, Amike ward, APGA thugs backed by men in military uniforms tried to snatch the ballot but were resisted by youths in the area.

It is not clear why the snatching of ballot boxes is taking place even with the high presence of security men in the state.

Latest reports from Umuchoke hall, Ezinifitte Ward in mbaitolu LGA has it that the APGA supporters in connivance with the police have carted away the ballot box and no voting is going on right now! Most voters have ran in fear, Please security should proceed to restore peace immediately!

Ohakim again,I urge Imo people to do all decent people the world over,a favour today by voting out that tramp called Ihedi Ohakim

We should desist from insulting our Governor in broad day light. What is our generation turning into Please respect your Governor so that people will have respect for us.

Its is a LIE!!!!!!

The news is all over the place! I am getting information that APGA supporters are staying at home and not voting.

@solotuonye,

U re not ashamed.Even in streets,everywhere,in NL,Ohakim has no supporters.U re really an evil man who is interested in supporting evil and bad people.

We were misinformed at first, but we have found the real truth about Ohakim. Unfortunately, not many people have seen what we saw, hence the slow support rate. My job is to enlighten everybody, and with time, everybody will come around and know Rochas is a scam!

THAT IS WHY WE CALL IKEDI OVERSIZED LIAR IN OVERSIZED COAT

Stop insulting the Imo State governor! We are supporting him till the end. We are not fools to believe your lies against him!

Ohakim again,I urge Imo people to do all decent people the world over,a favour today by voting out that tramp called Ihedi Ohakim

If you are in Imo, tell me you do not like what you see there Please lets tell Imolites the truth for once. Lets support Ikedi Ohakim to finish his second tenure. The blackmail and lies against him will not blind us. we have discovered the truth.

big crime to support a criminal and non performer Angry

I thought this is democracy and we have freedom of expression and association Why cant we see reason for once Ohakim has tried. He was distracted and blackmailed, yet he tried his best. Lets all support him to surpass all expectations this time!

@thread owner. Now i know u're one of those sending text massages against rochas. Either rochas wins or head roll!

I just saw some news and pasted here for comments and clarifications and everybody is accusing me? What have I done Is it a crime to support Ohakim

According to latest reports reaching our desk, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) guber candidate, Chief Rochas Okorocha, has instructed all his supporters in the four affected LGAs and Orji ward to boycott today’s supplementary elections in Imo State.

The statement, personally signed by Chief Rochas Okorocha, reads: Great Imo people, it is important I explain my recent decision to drag INEC to court over the Imo governorship race. After due consultations with our campaign staff, stakeholders and legal team, we arrived at a conclusion that today’s supplementary election is illegal. I have filed a suit at the Federal High Court, Abuja which you are all aware of. APGA and my humble self are not participating in any supplementary election. We stand firm on the April 26th guber election outcome and urge INEC to announce the results. I urge all my supporters to boycott today’s election and remain focused on our quest to reclaim our mandate. I will be addressing a World press conference by 10am today at sam Mbakwe Hall, Imo Concord hotel on same issue. Thanks for your support. Anayo Rochas Okorocha (Imo APGA guber candidate).

The report urged all APGA supporters to stay tuned for further directives and disregard any call from unauthorized sources, government officials or any news media, asking them to come out for today’s poll, as updates on the issue will be communicated through credible party channels.

Chief Rochas Anayo Okorocha, who contested for the guber elections in Imo State on the platform of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), is claiming victory at the April 26th guber elections held in Imo state, which was declared inconclusive by the Independent National Electoral Commission returning officer in Imo State.

I said it that this man has some pranks up his sleeves. Am I the one that wrote this? it is all over the newspapers, Tomorrow they say I have fabricated it, Let him send his boys to demolish the newspaper company like he did Horn Newspapers,

His excellency, Chief Dr. Ikedi Godson Ohakim needs your prayers and your help in tomorrow's election. It is time to take Imo to the next level. Say capital NO to detractors and blackmailers. Caution those smearing the Governor's image and teach those who are yet ignorant. Please don't be violent and remain cultured like a good representative of our governor and our dear state, Imo. God bless you all as we do more for our state Imo and our Country, Nigeria.

your just a silly gud for notin animal dat dont have job, >>>just get a life

All Imolites should endeavor to support the present administration and not curse one another. We are championing the same cause! Ohakim's name has been spoilt to destroy his person and govt but we all know the truth, lets do more with him.

When war was declared in Europe in 1914, people trooped out to rejoice, not fully comprehending the implication. By 1918, 20million people were dead and Europe destroyed!

People are jumping up and down with what Rochas is doing. They are oblivious of the fact that Imo is heading towards a political turmoil. Everybody agreed to a supplementary election and even INEC did his bidding by changing RECs, So what is he afraid of Let him help resolve this impasse by going to the polls on friday if he truly loves Imo. Please spread this message, Imo shouldn't be a laughing stock in Nigeria!!!

Non-Imolites are already writing articles mocking people of Imo and we caused it by cursing and insulting the seat of power. We shouldnt make ourselves fools because we are washing our dirty linen in publin in the name of politics. Let Rochas who calims he is a democrat help resolve and avoid the looming crisis by coming to the polls.

His promises of free education cannot win election in any civilized world. We should all see the hand writing on the wall each time. Even Our lord Jesus hesitated at some point to die on the cross for man kind,not to talk of Rochas pretending to be ready to die for the sake of Imolites, We should all shine our eyes because the Kind of cross our Lord Jesus died is not the same type Rochas want to die, We all know this but propaganda is not allowing imolite know the truth!

thank u, rochas looted and gave to masse, but ohakim looted and kept to himself.

You can open your mouth and say whatever you like. Rochas Okorocha was expelled from Unijos for certificate forgery. He was disqualified by INEC in 1999 for certificate forgery. His running mate Jude Agbaso, jumped bail in 1995 in the United States and is today a wanted man.

Rochas was sacked as (NAMA) chairman, just one month into his appointment for embezzling N150m within a short time. His friends say he is fraudulent with FORD corp. in his dealings with Rochas foundation. Obasanjo who he worked under said he cannot be trusted,

Who da hell doesnt have a past Why are you hell bent on destroying people's imgae?? Should we come and investigate you the writer Are you sure yo uhave not duped some white people before How did you know Ohakim's office so well and what he was doing if you were not doing the same thing?

Guys, we are not stupid. People do have a past but then people change. When you talk about the past of Rochas, poeple say that was then, so Ohakim does not deserve "That was then?"

Pls get something else doing,

@iudoagwu, Solotuonye & Company,
We know how people like you operate, they are the Abacha must rule apostles of those days. Any govt in power is okay with them. Your blackmail will not work. If Ohakim started his so called MEGA project and Imo people are saying that he is not their man, why should he force himself on them?

Imo people don't need MEGA project, they need meaningful small project they can see its completion, no on TV and paid newspaper Ad. Our Dear Sam Mbakwe did not give us any MEGA nonesense, as this is the language of crooks and 419ers. Big on words, but little or nothing on fulfilment.

We have had enough of Ohakim, who nobody voted for in 2007 but Udenwa, OBJ and Iwu decided to impose him on Imo people. Its good that the cummance is coming back to Udenwa/Iwu now frm Ohakim the seed they planted.

You rogues planted by Ohakim even here on Nairaland should leave Imo state in peace. You may get what you want on friday, but don't celebrate yet because our land will see to it that this evil visited on our people for the last four years must end one way or the other.

Nobody is forcing anybody on you. We are to remind all Imolites that a group of miscreants took their time over the years to tarnish Ohakim's image and make him appear like a devil. This of course affected people's view of the Governor, this is quite unfortunate because a few people's greed will bring Imo state crawling and they have succeeded in getting to imolites with cheap promises and they people are buying them,

Desperate times for Ohakim as he fears his tenure comes to an end.

How did Imo sink so low anyways? As someone already pointed out, if Ohakim is reelected then Imo State will not witness good governance for a very very very long time because he'll most likely handover to another suspicious character.

Let him who is without sin be the first to cast a stone at Ohakim!

So Rochas is a saint abi Why was he kicked out of NAMA after just 1 month in Office

Answer: He looted N150m by over inflating contracts, just 1 month! What could have happened in just 1 yr You guys are playing with fire, keep deceiving yourselves, Someone told me yesterday that Rochas will give free education up to univeristy level, keep deceiving yourselves!

You guys are going to see what you are asking for soon. Free education is what you will eat from morning till night till you get tired. He will even give free education up till Ph.D level!!! Nonsense

You are absolutely out of your mind with your blind allegiance to Ohakim,  With 27 PDP LGA chairmen, all PDP state assembly members, all the money in the Imo state Bank account,all the federal support from Jonathan, all the PDP rigging machines and OHAKIM cld nt beat/rig the votes in his favour, What does that show you? In a free an fair elections he wld nt have won a single LGA, what ever he got was through rigging,  I am an Imo state son and i know what am saying,  Never in the history of Imo state has  a governor been  hated this way,
    One thing is certain, you r either from Mbaise[where his deputy comes from] and expect a power shift to your kinsman/woman in 2015 or u r from Ohakim's town and in some way making money thru his continuous stay in the Govt house,  shame

One thing is certain, you are biased. Either you open your eyes and figure out that they are pulling a wool over your eyes and know Rochas for who he really is or you will still be the one to suffer when he wrecks havoc on the state. How could someone look so saintly and the other one so evil, c'mon, it was all staged by haters. Its a calculated attempt!

Hmmmm. Interesting argument but it raises questions that have not really been answered in this country. Should the zoning agreement (a PDP thing mostly) be held even when the current holder of office is under-performing? Some will say that he has had his four years and little to show for it so let him go.
Besides it is funny that this appears to be the main point for which Ohakim seeks reelection; not because he wants to continue and build upon a lasting legacy of meaningful development but just so that the zoning agreement be honored.

Well, at least if we dont vote zoning, we vote for completion of ongoing projects. If they get abandoned, we'll still be the ones to lose

Lol. Ohakim's hagiographers at work.

Who are you calling Ohakim's biographer? Ok, so you are Rochas biographer?

Clap! Clap! Clap! All hail the campaign manager! @Poster just for posting this rubbish online, you' ve just shown what an you are! Do u think that campaigning for Ohakim on Naira land will help matters? Wherever you take your campaign to, there will be sensible Imo people to counter it. Sensible Imo people like Citizen Samuelson Iwuoha are everywhere on the net waiting for thieves like you to rear their ugly head up. Everybody know that Ohakim is a devil! The guy is has no vision. What has renaming Imo state University has to do with the development of the school. Changing the name of a product does not rebrand a product. Who is this so called Evans Enwerem? This is one of the insults we get from visionless men. I am going to organise a Guber poll on Naira land between Ohakim and Rochas. Feel free to come and vote!

So we should ssume anybody that speaks for rochas here is his campaign manager abi? Why are you guys intolerant? This is simply a place for intellectuals,

If Ohakim is declared loser. There will be freedom, joy, and justice to the demand of the people.

However, if Ohakim is declared winner there will be anguise, disappointment, and distrust in any future elections.
Unaccountability will rule because nobody can ask question because all votes Ohakim got was bought hence Imo purse will be his personal possession.

But if Rochas is declared winner, we will question mismanagement, organise protest and participate in his government as a people because he did not buy our vote but we gave him benefit of doubt hence he have right to call him to order.

Please Ohakim leave Imo people alone, we did not vote for you irrespective of your attempt to buy us off.

This is simply prejudice!

Ararume are you ready to dance with the 'devil'? Grin

Who is the devil? What made him the devil? Do you even know who the devil is or are you joining others to speak without using your senses? Ararume did the honorable thing jare,

ONE thing certain about the Nigerian politics is its uncertainty. This remark however synchronizes with the axiom that there is no permanent enemy in politics but permanent interest.

There were instances which justify these sayings. For instance, it is unbelievable that the Imo former Governor, Chief Achike Udenwa could re-enact his friendship with Senator Ifeanyi Araraume after the former apparently stabbed the latter on the back and by so doing, caused the denial of the Imo governorship for Araraume in 2007.

That was the cradle of Araraume’s political woe, that haunts him uptil now.

It is equally unbelievable that Governor Ikedi Ohakim, could put behind all his vociferations against Araraume to pay him dramatic visit at Isiebu home at the time of distress.

Governor Ohakim, according to grape vine sources visited Senator Araraume on Wednesday probably to discuss the way out for the imbroglio in the Imo governorship election.

According to the source, Ohakim had visited the embattled Senator very late at night seeking his intervention to disentangle the threat by APGA to rob Okigwe zone the second term.

Believing that Ngor-Okpala, is ACN strong hold and as one of the three LGAs marked out by INEC for rerun election since polling could not hold in the LGAs, the Governor was said to have pleaded with Araraume as the State leader of the ACN to direct its members to give him rescue votes.

Our source hinted that Araraume who made it possible for Ohakim to gain access to his compound, was said to have advised the Governor not to worry, that he could still emerge victorious against APGA.

As soon as the Governor left the house of the Senator, the news of his visit circulated in the State like harmattan fire as many people could not believe their ears that Ohakim paid unscheduled visit to his presumed number one political enemy and local rival.

Although, the visit may have brought psychological succur to Ohakim, and at least breaking the more than 4 years jinx of lingering enemity, the INEC spoiled an opportunity that could have brought Ohakim and Araraume together by suspending indefinitely the rerun earlier scheduled for Ngor-Okpala, Oguta and Ohaji/Egbema LGAs.

It will be recalled that in the wake of the Imo governorship election, a meeting of the Okigwe zone political elite and stakeholders was convened at the country home residence of Chief Tony Chukwu where decisions were reached to vote massively for Ohakim as their son, since the Orlu zone was unable to stop Rochas from the race.

According to the elite, if Rochas wins, it will mean that zoning is dead in Imo, while an Ohakim win will mean that Imo will be stabilized on zoning arrangement.

The outcome of the meeting appeared to be the reflection of the ACN’s poor showing in the guber election through out the Okigwe zone, as a measure of protest votes against the alliance between ACN and APGA said to have been decided at Amaifeke at the instance of Udenwa.

So this is all to make people come here and insult our governor again abi? dont you guys get tired Ararume did the honorable thing and so should Rochas and not to cry wolf before election results are released or even held. If Rochas knows he's going to lose, rather than tell people to resort to violence, he can help Imo people by going before its too late to join hands with Ohakim. Remember that the Army are everywhere to protect and we do not want him to start saying he's victimized. The chance is now because Imo people want peace!

Na who dey talk about unfinished job?,wey dis extra 4yrs is when all governors will pack the whole money to go.Some fools are talking about 10,000 jobs that it is a good thing while in the real sense of it ohakim used it for politics not to help the jobless cause he was afraid that rochas is coming out.If not for the fact that rochas was coming out for governorship,ohakim wouldn't have given youths the job,the main aim of that job is for the 10000 youths and their families to vote for him during election.If Ohakim come to that seat again IMO this time will be like the old ghananians

He gives job and you say its politics, He doesnt give and you say he's done nothing. Why dont you just accept its just a personal stuff and not that Ohakim has not done anything we know the truth so dont bother trying to divert our attention here,

Enough of these rubbish from these ohakim boys, you are  paid to come here and beatify your 419 master,
I have said it that ohakim can not keep Imo State @ ramsom.
Which second term are you begging for? This is democracy not military dictator.
If you claim that all said about ohakim are propaganda and lies how come GEJ's wife was pleading on his behave. Why were you paid spammers pleading during your Easter spam or will you deny again.
What is it? the people you want to democratically govern said no. Why are you imposing your self on them. Is it by force?
This ohakim selfish xter has endangered 2 silly boys like you who thumb printed about 50,000 thousand ballot to be used as aguta result. These boys are in police net waiting for their fate yet somebody is still here singing  a bird songs for a reckless leader.

We have forgiven ohakim with one condition, which is dethrone or rejection. When God forgave Satan, he dethroned him and sent him on an exile to God knows where. But nobody is saying kill ohakim, we are all saying ohakim  leave us alone.
Running from pillar to post just to be re elected cannot work for him in  Imo State. He may try to rig his way in but it won't work because the voice of people is the voice of God.
Give Rochas that Chance you are asking so that imo will Be Good again. period.

I can see hatred and not reason. I can see prejudice and not justice. It is written all over your comment. You are speaking with your own voice and not the voice of God. If God choses Ohakim, who are you to counter?
