However, the outcome of last Saturday’s controversial ward congresses in the party was said to have jolted the governor, as most of the political gladiators in the APC worked together in a bid to put an end to what they described as Okorocha’s efforts to run the state as a personal estate of his family for another eight years. Following the outcome of the ward congresses which Okorocha’s candidates reportedly lost, he was said to have rushed to the country home of President Muhammadu Buhari in Daura, Katsina state, where he allegedly tried in vain to get the president to cancel the congress results to no avail. Buhari was said to have advised the governor to go back to Imo State and resolve the issues arising from the congresses through the Congress Appeal Panel, CPA, set up by the APC. But allegedly disappointed over Buhari’s failure to do his biddings by cancelling the results of the ward congresses, Okorocha was said to have held meetings with members of his caucus where the decision to impeach his deputy was reached. Vanguard reports that the arrowheads of the impeachment plot included a political god-father in Ikeduru Federal Constituency of the state, Chief Charles Amadi and the speaker of the House, Hon Acho Ihim. At a reported second meeting hosted by Chief Amadi, about N100 million was allegedly voted for each legislator who would support the impeachment plans. A member of the state House of Assembly from Okigwe zone who spoke to newsmen in Owerri on the condition of anonymity reportedly confirmed that one of the governor’s aides, from Amigbo in Ikeduru local government area of Imo state, had hosted members of House of Assembly at his country home where the impeachment issue was formally tabled before 18 members of the legislature.
