All Nigerian Peoples Party (ANPP) former Imo state chairman Chief Vitalis Ajumbe has discussed why former Imo governor Ikedi Ohakim was not reelected. According to Ajumbe, Ohakim’s term was set at eight years by the equitable charter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). But he asserted that Ohakim was the target of fabrications and propaganda, including the notorious charge that he had flogged a Reverend Father.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
In a recent report by The Sun, Ajumbe said he personally investigated the matter and spoke with Reverend Father Eustace Okere, the alleged victim. He said to his surprise, Reverend Father Okere denied the accusation, stating that Ohakim had never flogged him and that he hadn’t even seen the governor. He said the false accusation led to widespread condemnation of Ohakim, with people singing songs declaring that someone who could assault a Reverend Father was unfit to govern.
In Ajumbe’s words: “They said Ohakim flogged a Reverend Father, I went to see the Reverend Father they claimed he flogged, Reverend Father Eustace Okere, and when I asked him whether it was a true that Ohakim flogged him, he said it was a lie; that Ohakim never flogged him, that he didn’t even see Ohakim”.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
