The chairman of Owerri Federal Constituency under the coalition of Imo All Progressive Congress, APC, umbrella, has predicted that Senator Ifeanyi Godwin Araraume possesses the capacity both financial and contact wise to become the next governor of Imo State come 2019.
Chief Achonwa-Njemanze popularly known as Oyiga said Imo governorship 2019 requires a man with the courage and political dexterity like Senator Araraume. He also noted that the former two-time senator of Okigwe Zone is the only one who could coagulate the coalition members in order to give Governor Rochas Okorocha a good knock for the soul of the Imo APC.
Oyiga made it clear that but for somebody like Senator Araraume, it would have been easy for Okorocha to hijack the party and use it to make his son-inlaw governor in 2019. He said Owerri Zone had the opportunity through some candidates in 2015 but failed to utilize the opportunity.
Continuing, Oyiga declared that his ambition to represent Owerri Federal Constituency in 2019 was alive and on course, adding that he has the much-needed experience to represent Owerri Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives including the right contacts to make impact.
He said that he was not against an Owerri man being governor but added that the zone needs to organize itself as according to him, money and reach were necessary for one to become a governor. He maintained Senator Araraume has all such qualities.
