Thursday, May 5, 2011
Before 1999, the Governor Ikeda Ohakim People's Democratic Party (PDP) and Owell Rochas Okorocha, were largely unknown in politics. Okorocha, was best known for his philanthropic activities, which was just booming. His "Rochas Educational Foundation, which established free education and boarding schools in major cities of the six geo-political, has given more impetus to his scholarship and his name engraved in the heart of needy students and parents unhappy.
His foray into politics began at the top, when in 2003 he ran for the presidential ticket of the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) was then called on all parties Peoples (APP). His campaign came up with all Razzmatazz that has so far participated in the race for the seat of governor.
He failed in the bid but has become an advisor and Chairman of a government parastatal. Both appointments did not last. These came courtesy of the PPD / ANPP alliance. In 2005 he launched the Action Alliance (AA) under which he unsuccessfully launched another bid for the presidency.
In 2007, he returned to PDP, and maintained a low political profile before entering the race Grand Imo State governor last year. Ohakim was a member of the PDP. In 2003, he aspired to the governorship ticket of the party and lost. He fled to the Progressive Peoples Alliance (PPA) and ran for the governorship of the State on its platform. He won. In July 2010, he returned to the PDP and is currently flying the party's banner in the race for governor.
Step up to the challenge being steep between the pair began to build at the end of the year when night Okorocha launched his bid for governor. Before that, the battle was seen as purely between Ohakim and the candidate of the Action Congress of Nigeria (CAN), Senator Ifeanyi Araraume
