POLITICS: "Ihedioha Has Not Started 'governing' Imo State" - Rochas Okorocha

A Former Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha has said that his Successor,
Emeka Ihedioha is yet to start governing the state since taking power. Below is
a statement signed by Okorocha's Spokesperson, Samuel Onwuemeodo;"It is
important to State and indeed inform the general public that the new Governor
of Imo State Chief Emeka Ihedioha has not begun to govern the State as its
Chief Executive, looking at his activities and utterances so far, but embarking
on oversight functions as if he is still at the National Assembly where he was,
uninterruptedly for 12years.
"He has also been busy setting up series of Committees with at least three
Committees a day, and has never done any serious thing or taken any serious
step or said any serious thing to show that he has actually taken the seat as
the governor of the State. And he also seems not to have cared about asking
questions."
"In the course of doing over-sight functions even as governor, he would go to
one bad dredging site which he won’t mention where it is, he would send out
the photograph just to blackmail his predecessor or he would send out the
photograph of one bad toilet they got from somewhere and said it was in the
Government House. So petty and unserious all these days.""The former
governor left more than one thousand verifiable projects behind for him. He has
never cared to visit any of the projects to show that he has come to work and
that he means well. If he could be showing the world one bad toilet we knew
they got for Owerri Office of the PDP when landmark projects are located at
various parts of the State waiting for him to come and see them, and know
what to do with them, then he hasn’t come for service.
""The International Cargo Airport is ready and was commissioned by the Vice-
President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo. Let him visit the place and tell the world what he
has seen, and then open it for operations so that the purpose for building such
a landmark project can be achieved.""The Ultra-modern Prison Headquarters
and the magnificent Police Headquarters also built by his predecessor and
commissioned by the Vice-President need his action. He should ask the Police
to move to such befitting edifice and the prisons people too. The management
of the Skyrun Company his predecessor also brought would like him to come
and see what God had used Owelle to do for Imo people."
"The 6 new Universities, four Polytechnics, three Colleges of Education, the 27
general Hospitals, the Ultra-modern Markets built by the former governor
including the Malaysia Market at Obowo are all waiting for him to come and see
them and know the level Rochas Okorocha had taken the State to, in terms of
development and that would enable him to know what to do."
"Showing the world one bad dredging site also caused by the PDP people when
they held sway or one bad toilet at the expense of the more than one thousand
projects his predecessor left behind does not show good Spirit. He does not
need to embark on new projects. He should rather maintain or strengthen the
ones on ground, where the need arises."
"The other day, he was showing a bad classroom block at the Holy Ghost
College Owerri and he failed or refused to tell his audience that the College is
owned by the Catholic Diocese of Owerri. But he could not also show
Government College Owerri or Emmanuel College or Akwakuma Girls College or
Ikenegbu Girls College or Government Technical College which Owelle Okorocha
had rebranded to the admiration of all and sundry. This is not how to be
governor. He should not be trying hard to run down the man who handed over
to him a brand new State."
"The truth is that what the APC-led government of Rochas Okorocha achieved
in eight years, the PDP government even for fifty years cannot achieve one-
tenth of such laudable achievements, especially when it takes financial
discipline or prudence and vision to do so.""Governor Ihedioha should wake up
from his deep slumber and show the people of Imo State that he is their
governor and that he has come to build and not to destroy or find fault where
none exists.
