Aspirants in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Imo state, Senator Ifeanyi Godwin Araraume was in Daura, Katsina State within the week, to pay a courtesy call on the President  elect, General Mohammadu Buhari.<br \/>\nAraraume who was in company of his good friend, Governor Rotim Amaechi of Rivers State, was said to have been given a warm welcome from the retired Army General who will be inaugurated as Nigerian&#8217;s next Civilian President on May 29, 2019 at Abuja.<br \/>\nSources told Trumpeta that Araraume&#8217;s visit to Katsina State was to \u201cpractically show\u201d his loyalty to the in-coming Government of General Buhari, and solicit for support for his future political adventures.<br \/>\nTrumpeta was told that one of the major agenda for travelling to Daura, was for Araraume to inform Buhari that he was still interested in being the governor of Imo state in the future, after the incumbent Governor, Rochas Okorocha would have left office in 2019.<br \/>\nAraraume was said to have had a close door meeting with Buhari, where he explained to him his readiness to work for and defect  to APC if need be, to actualize his long term dream, which is to serve Imo State as their Governor.<br \/>\nTrumpeta was informed that part of the agreement which led Araraume to work for Okorocha in the inconclusive Guber election in April 11, was for Okorocha to hand-over power to him in 2019, since it was being bandied about that it will be the turn of Okgiwe zone to produce the next Imo Governor in 2019, since Owerri zone has \u201cmassed\u201d its own turn if it loses 2015 chance.<br \/>\nTrumpeta was informed that to solidify his dream of 2019 Imo Governorship, the Senator wanted to familiarize himself with the President-elect through his good friend, Rotmi Amaechi of Rivers State, who was Buhari Campaign Director-General.<br \/>\nHowever, Pundits believe that it is too early for any politician to begin to plot for 2019 when no body is sure what will happen between now and 2019.<br \/>\nBut others maintained that there was nothing wrong for politicians to dream dreams, as every politician is ambitious, and Araraume has the right to plan ahead. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While many politicians are focusing on 2015, those of them with tall dreams and
