 The think-tank, “Team Ihedioha” assembled for the actualisation of Hon Emeka Ihedioha’s governorship ambition says the odds favour its candidate ahead the 2019 governorship election innImo State

  Ihedioha former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives is vying for the office of the Executive governor of Imo State in 2019.

 The team leader, Hon. Macdonald Amadi, speaking at the inauguration of “Team Ihedioha Ngor Okpala” Saturday, stressed that among all the known and yet to be known aspirants to the office of governor of Imo State come 2019, only Hon. Emeka Ihedioha has all the potential and manifest capacities to become next Imo governor.

 Amadi who spoke at length on the very rich resume of the former representative of Aboh Mbaise/Ngor Okpala Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives said only  Ihedioha possessed the right legislative and executive administration experience to provide Imo the overdue restructuring resulting from the disorganization of the state since 2011 by the Owelle Rochas Okorocha administration.

 According to Amadi, while all other aspirants have one baggage or another,  Ihedioha has served at both executive and legislature arms of government for record 23 years without any taint in his public service conduct and character. 
He recounted in a jiffy how since 1992  Ihedioha has been walking the corridors of power working with some of the highest leaders of Nigeria, stating that it is with a load of experience and personal and official contact network in Nigeria that the one time Chief Whip of the  House of Representatives will change Imo State that has been bastardized by the uncumbent governor, Rochas Okorocha.

 On the inauguration of “Team Ihedioha Ngor Okpala”  Saturday,  Amadi described it as a landmark event which had in attendance about 3000 people from the 11 wards of Ngor Okpala Local Government Area (LGA) of Imo State.

 He said: “Team Ihedioha is an organization of people that decided to make sacrifice towards the success of  Ihedioha. The crowd you saw there can’t be anything less than 3000. They were gathered with the very adept grassroots mobilization capacity of “Team Ihedioha”. It is the best of the “Team Ihedioha” inaugurated so far in some LGAs. We expect more inaugurations in the following weeks.”

 He assured the teeming supporters of Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha of victory in 2019, urging them to ensure they obtain their Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVC) and keep preparing for the election of Emeka Ihedioha at all levels and stages until his victory is declared as the executive governor of Imo State on May 29, 2019.

 Present at the inauguration of “Team Ihedioha Ngor Okpala” were the aspirant himself, Ihedioha, Hon. Bede Eke, representative of Aboh Mbaise/Ngor Okpala Federal Constituency I  the House of Representatives, and a large number of dignitaries with an ocean of heads of leaders and representatives of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ngor Okpala LGA.
