As individuals, no opposition will be able to defeat the governor so they need to form a coalition if they are truly serious about defeating the governor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA strong coalition will unseat him but if the oppositions go into the election for their selfish interests, they will lose.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe people of Imo don\u2019t want him again but he has all he needs to win the election, only a strong coalition will stop him.
