  In an interview with select journalists in Owerri, a front-line politician in Imo State and former Commissioner, Professor Vitalis Orikeze Ajumbe, a prominent son of Owerri zone stated that for peace and stability to reign in the State, Okigwe Zone should produce the next governor after the tenure of  Governor Hope Uzodimma. Excerpts:  *Q: You are among those who are arguing for power to return to Okigwe zone, rather than Owerri zone where you come from. Why are you not standing with your people?*  First, I am not clannish both by nature and by my political leaning. Politically, I have grown above clannishness because I am supposed to be a leader in the entire state if not a statesman. So, the fact that I come from Owerri zone does not mean that I will stand with our people if they are going the wrong way. Rather, the duty of people like us is to advise our people to toe the right path.   *Q: So you believe that your people in Owerri zone are wrong in asking f...

  By Nnamdi Nwadike Ever since a group of Imo traditional rulers were herded to the Dan Anyiam Stadium, Owerri, sometime ago, to do a march past, with the then First Lady of the state, Mrs. Nkechi Okorocha, taking the salute, the unappeased gods have remained unrelenting in pushing them from one "wombling " and "fumbling " to another. The latest is their ongoing dance to an orchestra renditioned by a clique of politicians in Owerri zone.  The lyrics is the purported promise made by the state governor, His Excellency, Senator Hope Uzodimma, to hand over to a fellow from the (Owerri) zone at the end of his tenure in 2028. Governor Uzodimma is said to have made the promise during the campaigns leading to his reelection in November 2023 ostensibly in pursuit of the renewed Charter of Equity. Whether the governor was right or wrong in making the said promise is not the concern here but the baffling thing is that no sooner had the election been concluded than some element...
