Governorship candidates of all registered political parties in Imo
State, except Governor Rochas Okorocha, yesterday honoured the
invitation of Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, in the state for
an interactive session at All Saints Anglican Cathedral, Egbu.
Flagging off the discussion, the Anglican Bishop of Okigwe South, Rt.
Rev. David O.C. Onuoha, who also chaired the event, admonished
candidates, not to overheat the polity, as whosoever was not lucky
this time, should look forward to 2019.
"Any candidate that fails to clinch the governorship seat this time,
should look forward to 2019. We can only have one governor at a time.
"We look forward to seeing a situation when other candidates will
gladly congratulate the successful candidate," Bishop Onuoha pleaded.
He appealed to the contestants to implored their supporters not to
destroy other contestants' posters and billboards, stressing that the
stories flying in the state were very disturbing.
Addressing the congregation, the governorship candidate of Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Emeka Ihedioha, said his attitude and
thinking were people-oriented, promising that if elected, his interest
would be youth empowerment.
Captain Emmanuel Ihenacho of All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA,
decried what he termed the misgovernance going on in the state,
promising that comatose industries will come back to life.
The theme of the interactive session was "Let God choose through his
people, who governs Imo State", while one of the highlights of the
event was the denouncing of membership of secret cults by all the
candidates present.
Nigerian politics and it's drama....let's keep seeing this seasonal movie.
