The erstwhile Governor of Imo State, Senator Rochas Okorocha has questioned the motive behind the 7-man Judicial Commission set up by the incumbent Governor of the state, Emeka Ihedioha to investigate allocations of lands in state from June 2006 to May 2019.
Senator Okorocha claimed that the incumbent Governor is on a vendetta mission targeted at the past administration of the All Progressive Congress, APC, headed by him.
Okorocha, in a statement, by his Special Adviser on Media, Sam Onwuemeodo questioned the credibility of the judicial commission set by Ihedioha, stressing that they are card-carrying members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The erstwhile governor, however, warned his successor not to chase away investors from the state over political conflict, while urging him to borrow a leaf from the Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde who decided not to destroy the good policies of the APC after he took overpower.
“The Panel on infrastructure made no other recommendation than to give the governor the licence to demolish some of the Prime Projects of the former governor like the flyovers, tunnels, waterfalls and so on, to the extent that his men were captured at night on Camera tampering with the tunnels just to invent excuses to damage such lofty projects built with Imo people’s money.
“They have also taken over all the establishments handed over to private Investors for efficiency and productivity following the ill-fated recommendations by all these one – way – traffic Committees and Panels. For instance, the Concord Hotel which the past PDP governments in the state had grounded through complimentary accommodations which Okorocha handed over to a private investor, who re-modeled and revived the hotel has been taken over and the Investor chased away and a Committee made up of PDP members, handed over the management of the hotel. Ditto, Oguta motel, Adapalm, Avutu Poultry. These actions would definitely discourage investors.
“Governor Ihedioha has taken the State backward instead of moving it forward by taking actions that are obviously counter-productive both in Contents and in implementations. In all these belligerent actions, he has never considered their attendant implications but only keen in using them to get at his Predecessor and party.
“We would only ask Governor Ihedioha to borrow a leaf from his fellow PDP governor who also succeeded an APC governor in Oyo State, Chief Seyi Makinde, who said that he wouldn’t “Cancel APC Administration’s good Policies”. That is how a governor who means well should reason or act, because at the end of the day, the overall interest of the State and her people should remain the ultimate goal. He should give his administration a human-face instead of the monster-face the administration is having at the moment.”
