From the rigorous primaries that produced the governorship candidates to the crowded governorship aspirants, the suits in the various courts and the current security threats over the election proper, the political atmosphere of the state has been convoluted.
Deputy Governor, Okeke is seen as a perfect gentleman. He had represented the governor at very high state functions even outside the state, unlike his counterparts, who hardly undertake responsibilities outside superintending the state’s boundary committee. A source had hinted The Guardian that he was actually sent for the meeting but had allegedly demanded a bullet-proof vehicle or an enlargement of his security details, following the increasing insecurity in the zone. Obiano was allegedly said to have refused his demands and in turn, he refused to attend the meeting on the guise that doing so would mean risking his life.
As an incumbent deputy governor for almost two terms, it would also be unfair for him to nurse the ambition of retaining the office under an incoming administration. Could it be for 2023 politics that he decided to switch party? Is it for future political appointments? What if the APC fails to clinch victory in the November 6 governorship election, among others?
He said: “The deputy governor had thought that the governor and the party were going to hand over the governorship ticket in the last primary to him on a platter. When that didn’t happen, he started behaving abnormally, even to the point of insubordination and dereliction of duties.
