Owerri – An elder statesman and a social crusader, Elder Bob Njemanze, on Wednesday called on the Imo state Council of Elders to prevail on the governorship candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Senator Samuel Anyanwu and Labour Party, LP, Senator Athan Achonu to withdraw from the Imo governorship legal battle.
It was his view that failure to do that it could result to an impediment to the actualization of the Imo charter of equity which is based on rotational governorship among the three Senatorial zones of Imo North, Imo East and Imo West. “I have been reaching out to both the candidates and my friends from Orlu and Okigwe zones, and some of my contributions, even as misunderstood as they may be, are derived from these interactions. It is not enough to claim to come from Owerri Zone and refuse to be rational out of selfish considerations or greed.
