WHO IS CHEKWAS OKORIE­ ?

 

The atmosphere is charged and the over 170 million Nigerians are in expectant mood for the much hyped general elections to finally get under way.

The two main political parties, The Peoples Democratic Party P.D.P and the All Progressives Congress both believe that they have done enough to win the entire elections.

The last six months in Nigeria has seen intense drama as politicians on both sides of the divide try to woo the electorates to their sides.

Money,  gifts,   souvenirs and even promises of positions and projects have been made by both Candidate Jonathan and Candidate Buhari to various Nigerians in various spectrum of the society.

Some analysts are of the opinion that if Jonathan wins General Buhari will say that the P.D.P rigging machinery rigged him out  and if Buhari wins ,President Jonathan will lay the blame on the footsteps of the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Professor Attahiru Jega.

It is strange that despite opinions pointing to the polls as too close to a call , a lot of Nigerians believe that a run off is not possible ,though a lot of Nigerians are quick to agree  that there was not much difference in character between the two leading political gladiators but they will rather settle for either of the duo as they  do not see any of the other political party to be able to identify with them.

When this reporter pointed at Chief Chekwas Okorie,Founder of All Progressives Grand Alliance and who has abandoned his baby to create a new one ,The United Peoples Party, a Nigerian said Who is Chekwas Okorie

The United Peoples Party according  to a recent survey is the third largest party in Nigeria and if the chips are really down in the case of a second round balloting, this party can swing it to anybody’s favor
