Perhaps more than ever before, the entry of Chief Mike Nwachukwu, the Owerri North born politician and community leader into the race for the Imo East Senatorial Seat in 2019, has brought to the fore one major issue in Imo State, yet hitherto not much talked about.

We do not need the aid of a mountain to break a walnut. This aphorism by the renowned author and poet, Prof. Wole Soyinka, no doubt captures succinctly the gestures about why APGA failed to fly in 2015 in Imo. Many people have expressed anxiety why the party had its wings clipped in 2015 and could not repeat the 2011 feat. How would it then be in 2018?
