Or am I that foolhardy to revolt against a fellow whose performance as a governor has been quite overwhelming and who is getting accolades daily from the good people of Imo state?<\/p>\n<p>The former governor refuted the report that he led a group in Anambra State where the revolt plan was perfected.<\/p>\n<p>He stressed that, contrary to the report, he had not been to Anambra State in the last four years.<\/p>\n<p>Ohakim also claimed he was not bidding for a ministerial appointment in Tinubu\u2019s administration.<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cI am not bidding for a ministerial appointment under the present administration. But even if I am, am I not intelligent enough to know that ministerial appointments are not secured through leading or participating in a revolt against a sitting Governor or anybody whatsoever?
