The League of Okigwe Professionals in a statement in Owerri on Saturday argued that after the disgraceful ouster of Ohakim by Imo people as a result of non performance, the outgoing governor should for now, disappear from public domain.
Rev Fr Jerome Nwokere (Okigwe LGA), Pastor Jones Umunna (Onuimo), Chief Ohakim Jonas, (Isiala Mbano), Nze Odika Iwu (Ehime Mbano) Rev George Anyanwu (Ihitte-Uboma) and Dr Charles Ala (Obowo) signed the statement on behalf of the league.
They were angry that Ohakim was scheming to be a minister after he wasted the opportunity given to him by Imo people to write his name in gold, but failed.
They also averred that having failed to perform in Imo State as governor, there was no basis for Ohakim to aspire to a higher service at the federal level.
According to them, “it was unfortunate that the governor, who allegedly pushed for the sack of the Interior Minister, Capt Emmanuel Iheanacho for losing his senatorial zone, now wants to be rewarded by President Jonathan and PDP for losing Imo State.”
Adducing reasons why Ohakim led PDP to a humiliating defeat at the Imo governorship election, the Okigwe League of Professionals blamed it on arrogance, non performance and betrayal of trust.
They noted that the governor showed disdain to Chief Achike Udenwa, Prof Maurice Iwu and Orji Uzor Kalu whom they described as the core people that facilitated Ohakim’s ascension to power in 2007
They declared, “Rather than continue to put Okigwe zone to shame, Ohakim should take a sabbatical so that his marry sins would be forgotten by Imo people with the passage of time.”
