Ararume, Izunaso Call For State Of Emergency In Imo State
The All Progressives Congress (APC) National Organising Secretary, Senator Osita Izunaso, former gubernatorial aspirant, Ifeanyi Araraume, Senator Hope Uzodima, have urged President Muhammadu Buhari to declare a state of emergency in Imo state.
The trio, who led other stakeholders to insist on the state of emergency, accused Governor Rochas Okorocha of repeatedly fuelling the Independent People of Biafra agitations as well as encourage hate speech in South-east.
In a petition to the National Chairman of the party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, yesterday in Abuja, they also asked the party to immediately get rid of the state governor, if the APC must be repositioned to take over the eastern region in 2019.
“As our Party Chairman, kindly bring to the notice of our dear President that should the governor in his megalomania…procure further violence in his child like tantrums, a state of emergency in Imo State would be a natural consequence.
“No other state did the President visit five times to appeal to its people and yet we wobbled. Our party must rid itself of this incorrigible worm, he is indeed a

Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba, Hon. Mike Ohia and Hon. Austin Chukwukere, said.
The party leaders lauded the National Working Committee of the party “for standing firm to the rules and guidelines of our party and upholding our duly conducted and video recorded congresses across our State,
