House of Assembly seats, Gov Rochas Okorocha has continued to gain more support from notable citizens in the state.<br \/>\nEvang Mike Ikoku, owner  of All Season&#8217;s Hotel who also contested  for the Isu\/Njaba\/Nkwere\/Nwangele Federal Constituency Seat under the Accord party  has declared that Gov Okorocha should not  be  begging for the votes of  Imolites ahead of the guber re-run which  is slated to hold  in  about 250 polling units of 23LGA&#8217;s, insisting  that rather,  the people of  Imo state should be  the one&#8217;s begging Owelle Ndi Igbo to continue  his massive and people oriented  work  he  has  been doing since the past  three and  half years.<br \/>\nSpeaking to Trumpeta recently in his Owerri residence, the Nkwerre born  business mogul asserted that Okorocha  remains  the  only link between the over 150 million Igbo&#8217;s in Nigeria and  in diaspora and  the national government of Nigerian arguing that the singular interest  of Rt Hon Emeka  Ihedioha can  not  be allowed to jeopardise the collective  interest of the Igbo race of consolidating the already gained partnership of Okorocha in APC with the North.<br \/>\nContinuing, Ikoku also pointed  out  that the antecedents of Gov Okorocha with the gigantic  infrastructures and policies his Rescue Mission govt has brought  to the state  no doubt stands him out as the true Senior Advocate of the Masses (SAM) and Commander of  Free Education (CFE).<br \/>\nHe likened Okorocha to  the great Nostradamus who saw  the future and  urged  Igbo&#8217;s to join  the APC train, even  when everybody including the Yoruba&#8217;s didn&#8217;t believe in the emerging mega party.<br \/>\nAccording to Ikoku, Okorocha  is and will continue to be more acceptable to  the  Northern Leaders of APC which he noted will help to position Imo state and the Igbo race at large in the share of the national cake  urging  Imolites  to  troop out en-mass in this Saturday guber  re-run and vote massively once again for  the Martin Luther King Jr of  Igbo nation.<br \/>\nIn a related development, Evang Ikoku has also hinted that his campaign organization has challenged the result of the Isu\/Njaba\/Nkwere\/Nwangele Federal Constituency election in the law court insisting that he (Ikoku) and not Hon Jones Onyeriri of the PDP won the April 11, election.
