Senator Ifeanyi Araraume says his political future can only be determined by God and not by Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State. Araraume, one of the front-line governorship aspirants in the South-East state on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), was reacting to a resent claim by Okorocha that he would retire him from politics next year.
Araraume, in a statement by his media aide, Mr Ikechukwu Ogbenna, said he was a more grounded politician than Okorocha, adding that he was relying on God and the people to achieve his dream.
It would be recalled that Okorocha, in his recent claim, said he had retired former governor of Imo State, Mr Achike Udenwa, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyawu, and Senator Arthur Nzeribe from active politics.
The governor also said that he would retire Araraume in 2019. Araraume said he is busy assisting APC to strengthen its structures in Imo and advised Okorocha to invest his time on issues meaningful to an average Imo person.
