The postponement of the presidential and national assembly election is revealing some election strategies by desperate politicians.
Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo state at the weekend allegedly launched some vehicles meant for the army and police in the state, but which are believed to be a decoy means of transportation for his election purposes.
Deputy Governor of Imo State, Prince Eze Madumere had raised the alarm over Okorocha’s desperation to foist himself on the people of Orlu zone for senate and his son-in-law, Uche Nwosu as his successor.
On Sunday, Okorocha’s strategies came to the open with fake branded army and police vehicles moving from one part of the state to the other.
Madumere recently said Okorocha was preparing to trigger political violence of no small magnitude, while addressing American Election Observers that visited him.
The vehicles were branded to transport trained militia group and other thugs who will be dressed in fake police and army uniforms.
These fake army and police branded vehicles were first tested with Okorocha’s convoy on Friday, the day heralding Saturday, which was to be an election day.
Unsuspecting Imolites had mistaken the convoy for INEC sensitive materials under the guide and protection of army and police troops, only to discover that armed to the teeth were dangerous looking hoodlums dressed in fake uniforms.
It will be recalled that Imo Police command had paraded miscreants in army uniform last week who were also alleged to have been hired by Okorocha.
Okorocha has never pretended over his desperation and readiness to spill blood should he not have his way to emerge winner of Imo West senatorial seat and his son-in-law emerge as next governor of the state despite resistance of Imo people.
Meanwhile, most of the branded vehicles to deceive the unsuspecting electorate have been moved to Okorocha’s Ogboko country home.
Our reporter also traced others to Ohaji-Egbema, Umuowa in Orlu local government area of Imo State and troop of other marauders to Okorocha’s country home in Ogboko, Ideato South local government of Imo State.
One Frank Onwumere, Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Imo Community Watch and the chief trainer is believed to be in charge of the vehicles and the users.
