The attention of All Progressive Ground Alliance has been drawn to a
reckless comment credited to the Special Adviser to the President of
the Federal Government of Nigeria on Political Matters calling for the
impeachment of the duly elected governor of Imo State, Owelle Rochas
Anayo Okorocha.
Finally, the statement credited to Ikedi Ohakim and others that they
have the backing of the Presidency to remove Governor Okorocha has
been further strengthened by Ahmed Guliak’s widely reported statement.
It should also be noted that the State PDP Chairman had earlier
revealed that Ikedi Ohakim and others declared that they contributed
N25 billion to the PDP for the Presidential campaign. The PDP
official also boasted to have used their connections within the
presidency to influence the police to assist the former chairmen to
invade and take over the LGA’s by force.
Imolites hereby call on President Goodluck Jonathan to call Ahmed
Guliak to order and sanction him for bringing the office of President
into disrepute if indeed he is not playing out a script authored
within the presidency. For the avoidance of doubt, the former local
government chairmen had sought but failed to get term elongation
through a high court in Imo State. The process was purely a judicial
matter. Governor Okorocha had in obedience to a court order recalled
the chairmen before their terms expired on August 8, 2012. As a high
government official Ahmed Guliak should guard his comments and
utterances.
