Infact, I have sent mine to Lagos. If they want let them come here. I have collected my own share of \u201cImo Cake\u201d a Director from Ohaji\/Egbema told <em>Trumpeta<\/em> on phone from Lagos.<\/p>\n<p>Information has it that none of the \u201cUgwumba Movement\u201d Coordinators or Directors is ready to return the vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>However, when our Roving Reporters visited Chief Uche Nwosu\u2019s residence at Civic Centre, Owerri, some of the vehicles were seen parked along the streets of the Estate, looking abandoned.<\/p>\n<p>But pundits have asked the reason Nwosu\u2019s Organization is now demanding the vehicles, whether it meant that Uche Nwosu\u2019s Governorship ambition has kissed the dust?<\/p>\n<p>But Nwosu seems to have replied the begging question through publications in some Owerri based Newspapers where he boasted that his Governorship ambition is still alive, even saying that he is now more emboldened to continue the race and will win the seat in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, one of the pillars of Uche Nwosu\u2019s governorship ambition, Dr Henry Okafor, who introduced \u201cOwelle Show Us the Man and Go to Sleep\u201d, has folded his political Tent and dumped Okorocha and Uche Nwosu for other things.<\/p>\n<p>Okafor who had happed he would be favoured for Ohaji\/Egbema\/Oguta\/Oru East Federal Constituency seat in APC for 2019 election got frustrated when Okorocha and Nwosu rather preferred Kingsley Uju for the slot.<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly, Henry Okafor has replaced all his Billboards that were eulogizing Okorocha and propagating Uche Nwosu\u2019s governorship election with a new slogan \u201cChrist Alliance\u201d, whatever that meant.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, sources said Nwosu has began reorganizing the \u201cUgwumba Movement\u201d because the outcome of the APC congress in Imo State has altered the status quo of the organization, and therefore needs to screen the \u201cMovement\u201d to know those on espionage mission, and those truly in support of Uche Nwosu\u2019s Governorship dream.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The \u201cUgwumba Movement\u201d, the campaign outfit of Governor Rochas Okorocha\u2019s son inlaw, Chief Uche Nwosu<\/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-19062","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=\"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/?cat=3\" rel=\"category\">Frontpage<\/a>","tag_info":"Frontpage","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19062","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=19062"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19062\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19077,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19062\/revisions\/19077"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=19062"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=19062"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=19062"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
