There are indications that the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) in Imo State may have invaded the case between the Action Congress of
Nigeria (ACN) governorship candidate, in the 2011 supplementary election in Imo
State, Senator Ifeanyi Arararume.
Reports have it that the PDP candidate in the disputed election
and former Governor of Imo State, Dr. Ikedi Ohakim intends to join the matter
as an interested party. Ohakim’s PDP came second behind Governor Rochas Okorocha’s
APGA who braced the tape of victory at the election.
The calculation in the party’s circles is that if the law
Courts cancel the supplementary election, the PDP stands the opportunity of
benefiting from such judgement.
A source in Imo state
chapter of the ACN confirmed the intention of the PDP to join the matter.
Meanwhile local tabloids
reported in Owerri that Imo State Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha may be
seeking for a political solution to the legal war launched against his
electoral victory by the Action Congress of Nigeria (CAN) governorship candidate
in the May 6, 2011 Supplementary election, Senator Ifeanyi Araraume.
Okorocha was reported by a local tabloid in Owerri of
visiting ACN national leader, Bola Tinubu at his Bourdillion Avenue residence
in Ikoyi, Lagos before he flew out of the country a fortnight ago.
Details of the meeting were sketchy as at press time, but it
was speculated in the local media that the meeting centered on the case which
comes up on October 4. 2012 at an Abuja Federal High Court.
