Araraume said in the event he does not emerge the party flag bearer, he will support anyone that picks the party’s governorship ticket.

Ostensibly reacting to fears that he will dump the party in the event he loses the governorship ticket, he said will he stay put in APGA and build it to enable it capture not just Imo State but the entire  South East.

The Senator has been in the news for more than a week since reports flew about that he is quit the APC for the cock party.

To support the party, he made some donations which will also cover the cost of printing party cards.

The Senator who once represented Okigwe zone in the Senate is making a fourth attempt to become Imo State Governor after failed trails spanning across three political parties.

He had won the PDP guber primaries in 2006 but was denied the ticket. He re enacted such feat in 2015 again but the party ticket was conceded to then Deputy Speaker, House of Reps, Emeka Ihedioha.

Araraume had led a team of APC chieftains who were code named “Allied Forces”who scrambled for the soul of the  APC.They lost out in the tussle to Governor Rochas Okorocha.

He dumped the party with his close political associates such as Chief Gibson Njemanze (Oyiga), Chief Okey Ikoro who also moved with him to APGA.
