Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State has lambasted Senator Ifeanyi Ararume.

His media aide, Oguwike Nwachuku said;

“Our attention has been drawn to a recent pitiable interview on AIT where Senator Godwin Ifeanyi Araraume attempted, but woefully failed to blame Governor Hope Uzodimma for the political oblivion he has recently found himself.”

“We are not surprised that Araraume was talking of anti-party activities because Governor Uzodimma worked hard to deliver Ibezim as the preferred candidate of the APC.”

“In contrary, Araraume’s action from the time the APC chose Ibezim to the time of electioneering, deploying all distractive tendencies from the court, suggested he didn’t want the APC to win the election. He is rather surprised the party won.”

“Rather than waste his precious time fighting and distracting Governor Uzodimma, Araraume should go into introspection to find out why the Okigwe people have decided to pitch their tent with a younger Ibezim, going forward.”

“It does not matter how much energy the Araraumes of the world deploy to instigate protests from the association of pensioners, doctors, teachers and other bodies. That is immaterial.”

“What is important is that the government of Governor Hope Uzodimma which is anchored on the 3R mantra – reconstruction, reconciliation and recovery will not be distracted by political opponents who see everything wrong in what Governor Uzodimma’s administration does.”

“Truth is that Araraume has been retired from politics by his people of Okigwe and there is no need blaming Governor Uzodinma for it.”
