Ex-Imo Gov Ohakim Calls For Public Debate Among Guber Candidates In Imo

His Excellency Dr. Ikedi Ohakim, former Governor of Imo State and governorship candidate of Accord party for the 2019 governorship election, has called on the people of Imo State to insist on public debate among the governorship candidates for the 2019 governorship election in the state.

He made this call on Saturday at Mbieri in Mbaitoli local government area of the state during the 2018 Emume Mbieri. He said that a public debate will expose the preparedness of those running for the governorship position in the state

Ohakim who has promised to fix Imo State when reelected in 2019 emphasized that he is not running for the governorship to fight anyone, noting that the volume of work that would be done post Rochas does not give anyone the luxury of time to engage in fisticuffs or muscle flexing. He added that anyone who thinks that fighting or throwing tantrums is what Imo needs should run a check on his mental condition and consider whether he should not rather join John Cena, Triple H, Seth Rollings, Dean Ambrose, AJ Styles, Daniel Bryan and Shemus, etc, in the WWE wrestling ring.

Dr. Ikedi Ohakim reiterated that Imo State has broken down and needs an experienced mechanic to fix it, even as he said that Imo State is in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and no consultant doctor spares his time for a fight but focuses on the patient.

He said that he has the cognate experience needed to fix the state, even as he said that he is mentally and emotionally prepared to hit the ground running at the blast of the whistle. He said he had done it before when he settled the arrears of pension and salaries and began to clean up Owerri when he assumed office in 2007.
