class=\"yiv8394569137ydpf5afabd7MsoNoSpacing\">The first leg of the Governorship election petition Tribunal Judgement which favoured Imo State Governor, Rt Hon Emeka Ihedioha, is having an adverse effect on the political camp of Owelle Rochas Okorocha,\u00a0<i>Trumpeta<\/i>\u00a0can authoritatively report.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8394569137ydpf5afabd7MsoNoSpacing\">A week after the panel of judges gave Ihedioha a clean bill of health to continue as the number one citizen of the State,\u00a0<i>Trumpeta<\/i>\u00a0was reliably informed that opposition elements against his administration have gradually started caving in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8394569137ydpf5afabd7MsoNoSpacing\">According to information available to this\u00a0<i>Trumpeta<\/i>\u00a0last weekend, few members of the opposition, especially those of the Okorocha AA\/APC fraternity are said to be romancing the PDP leadership and Ihedioha\u2019s men for a possible switch over.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8394569137ydpf5afabd7MsoNoSpacing\">Our correspondent who stumbled into one of the meetings in a hotel at New Owerri area of the State capital revealed that those who had sympathy with Okorocha\u2019s administration in the past were spotted in a \u201cfriendly\u201d meeting with the Ihedioha men.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8394569137ydpf5afabd7MsoNoSpacing\">Efforts by our correspondent to uncover details of the meeting and reasons behind the association of PDP and AA\/APC members proved abortive but one of the affected persons gave an indication that the scene can\u2019t be divorced from strategic meetings for a possible defection to PDP.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8394569137ydpf5afabd7MsoNoSpacing\"><i>Trumpeta<\/i>\u00a0was informed that some opposition members had been in limbo since Ihedioha came in the said politicians who have the knack to change camps easily have been waiting for the end of the first tribunal judgment before they defect to the ruling party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first leg of the Governorship election petition Tribunal Judgement which favoured Imo State
