IMO PDP TO OKOROCHA: RETURN WHAT YOU HAVE STOLEN WILLINGLY OR ELSE…
 |
| l:r: Current and immediate past governors of Imo State, Rt. Hon.Emeka Ihedioha and Chief Rochas Okorcha |
The Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP in Imo state, has advised the immediate past governor of the state,
now senator of the Federal Republic, Owelle Rochas Okorocha to willingly return
all that he stole from the state during his two terms in office.
The party spared no word for
the ex governor when it chided him for “the shameful, ceaseless and senseless
attacks on the person and administration of Governor Emeka Ihedioha”.
In a press statement
signed by the State PDP Publicity Secretary, Mr. Damian Oparah, he stated that
the former governor’s body language was clearly suggestive of a man who was
anxious and nervous, following the inauguration of Judicial Commissions of
Inquiry by the prudent Governor, Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha, to probe the award of
contracts and land deals in the state during his administration, and those of
governors Achike Udenwa and Dr. Ikedi Ohakim.
Oparah further contended
that as a party, PDP was positive that Okorocha’s recent diatribes fired
against the Governor Ihedioha-led government were aimed at diverting the
attention of the public from the vexatious issues surrounding his ruinous rein
as Imo State governor, which rendered the state nugatory and comatose in all
facets, while stupendously enriching himself, family members and cronies.
He wondered why it was
only Okorocha, among the three former governors that has been overly worried
about the probe of contracts and land deals within the time in review.
Hear him: “The truth is
that he (Okorocha) is conscious of the shady contract deals, massive looting of
the state’s patrimony and other grievous and unwholesome practices which
characterized his administration.”
He added that the former governor’s
accusations and inciting statements could not wipe out the legacies of theft,
destruction, institutional decay, dilapidation of public infrastructure and
impoverishment of the people, which he handed on to his successor.
He therefore advised
Okorocha to face reality and submit himself to the inevitable probe of the land
deals and contracts awarded during his administration.
