Former Governor Ikedi Ohakim has reassured that despite the heat from the Imo PDP state congress over which zone produces the chairman of the party, he is committed to delivering Chief Athan Achonu as Senator representing Okigwe Zone in the forthcoming rerun Senate election.
In a telephone chat with Ifeanyi Njoku , Ohakim called on the PDP members in Okigwe Zone to unite and work hard to ensure that Senator Athan Nneji Achonu is returned as the Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to represent Ndi-Okigwe in the politics and governance of the nation as symbolised by the National Assembly.
Ohakim further assured that delivering Achonu in the rerun election remains his next project.
He said: “I have a big project and goal now, which is to rally round Okigwe PDP leaders and members to mobilise our people and party faithful to ensure that Chief Achonu is reelected and returned to the Senate.”
He added that "Okigwe PDP is United and peaceful, what is important for us now is to work together as one big family to deliver our party in the next senatorial rerun election. As the leader of the party in Imo and former Governor of Imo State from Okigwe Zone, I am at home and in peace with my brother Senator Achonu. I want our party members to work harmoniously as a family and also to forgive each other and whomsoever that have offended them one way or the other".
He also said that “what anybody can do now to make him Ohakim happy is to ensure that Chief Athan is delivered and reelected in the next Imo North Senatorial rerun.”
