Former Governor of Imo State, Sen. Rochas Okorocha has called on president Buhari and the leadership of the All Progressive Congress, APC, to call the governor of the state, Gov. Hope Uzodinma to order.
Okorocha who is currently a senator representing Imo West Senatorial District has alleged that the current governor is in the habit of destroying projects built by his administration.
The governor made the allegations in a press release signed by his Special Adviser (media) Sam Onwuemeodo in Owerri.
Okorocha stressed that Uzodinma’s government had begun the demolition of about 16 pedestrian bridges he constructed as governor, across the State Capital, Owerri, and its environs.
According to him, “The time has come for President Buhari and the leadership of APC to look into what Gov. Uzodinma and his heartless government have been doing in imo.
“Governor Uzodinma, since he came on board under a very disturbing scenario, is either demolishing Okorocha’s projects or renaming them, just to remove any trace to Okorocha.
“The government would fill potholes on roads built or constructed by Okorocha, and rename them and also claim credits.”
He added that “the same government-sponsored a court case against Okorocha on the day he addressed a World Press Conference on his 2023 Presidential ambition. When that one failed, they came back and began to demolish the pedestrian bridges constructed by Okorocha with Imo people’s money.
“The governor has been using Okorocha to distract Imo people and beyond, over his total failure to give Imo people leadership.
He stressed that the governor seems to gain joy from the suffering and tears of the people of the state by making anti-people’s policies and actions.
“The government in Imo has taken the State into a deep slumber. Nothing is working in the State. The government has unleashed task forces on the Imo people. And the Governor seems not to be worried about the trauma Imo people have been going through under his government.”
