This newspaper was further told that Araraume may be the arrowhead of the opposition where allies of the immediate past Governor Rochas Okorocha instead of advancing the case of their Nwosu are strongly behind the APGA candidate.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">But recent developments have shown that Uzodinma and Nwosu are out of the coalition. Latest information available to Trumpeta has it that while Uzodinma has declared that he was not part of the reported meeting in Abuja where he met with others, Nwosu thinks otherwise about the deal.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Uzodinma, it was learnt tried to excuse himself from the Okorocha\/ Araraume renewed political romance against Ihedioha by stating that going to Appeal Court to review the earlier judgment of the Election Petition Tribunal for the Governorship Election is to achieve victory other than forming a Coalition to abandon his quest for another candidate.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Trumpeta was informed that the camp of Uzodinma dismissed the said report by adding that their candidate is hopeful of victory at the Appeal Court.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Similarly, Nwosu through a Media Aide was said to have dismissed such development of abdicating his pursuit for another candidate as a ruse.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Nwosu, this newspaper further learnt is upbeat about a successful outing in the Appeal Court.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">The recent words from Uzodinma and Nwosu camps, according to Trumpeta findings, have rubbished the planned Coalition to take power from Ihedioha as the trio challenging the PDP candidate at the tribunal can&#8217;t form strong synergy to present one candidate in the event Appeal Court calls for Re-run in the Imo Governorship Race.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The reported gang up by some top flight politicians, especially those who contested the 2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26305","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-frontpage"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","elegant-magazine-featured":"","elegant-magazine-medium":"","elegant-magazine-medium-small":"","elegant-magazine-thumbnail-small":""},"author_info":{"info":["Imo Trumpeta"]},"category_info":"<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/?cat=3\" rel=\"category\">Frontpage<\/a>","tag_info":"Frontpage","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26305","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=26305"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26305\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26307,"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26305\/revisions\/26307"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=26305"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=26305"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=26305"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
