Okorocha Uzodinma

Rochas Okorocha on Tuesday blasted Hope Uzodinma for supposedly sponsoring a campaign to derail his yet to be announced 2023 presidential campaign.

Responding to a statement by Chief Osmond Nkeoma, the National Organizing Secretary of Ohaneze Ndigbo who alleged that Okorocha was not a fit and proper person to be president of Nigeria, affirmed that the Ohanaeze chief was being sponsored by Governor Uzodinma who he claimed was desperate to derail his, Okorocha’s legacy.

Affirming that his legacies abounded all over Imo, the former governor of Imo State affirmed that no governor of Imo State would need to build a hospital or university in the state for the next 50 years given what he, Okorocha left on ground.

Nkeoma in poohpoohing suggestions of Okorocha as a viable candidate from the Southeast had said that “Okorocha’s eight years tenure was a monumental waste to the people of Imo State.”

Responding through his media aide, Sam Onwuemedo, Senator Okorocha said:

“Governor Hope Uzodinma’s government was behind the blackmail in line with the script handed over to him by those who enlisted him against Okorocha, with regard to the 2023 Presidency. Hence, Governor Uzodinma has not committedly begun to govern Imo State. He is only after Rochas Okorocha. He was behind the story of Okorocha being unfit to be Nigeria’s President.

“Governor Uzodinma had done that to puncture the pronouncement by eminent Igbo sons and daughters from the five South-East States, operating under the aegis of the MOVEMENT FOR THE ACTUALIZATION OF THE NIGERIA PRESIDENT OF IGBO EXTRACTION (MANPIE), who stormed Okorocha’s Owerri residence on Monday, Nov. 16, 2020, to urge him to run for the 2023 Presidency and to inform him that they had adopted him as the Consensus Candidate for the position.

“The same Monday, while the meeting with MANPIE was in Progress, Governor Uzodinma deployed caterpillars and pay-loaders to demolish one of Okorocha’s signature projects, the Somto hospital, Commissioned by the Vice-President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo. The governor did that to distract Okorocha from the beautiful meeting. And we are talking about a government that has Continued to stagger for almost eleven months now.

“Finally, the government in Imo should reduce the war fronts. The government is fighting everybody and every institution. And arresting, detaining and arraigning Imo Citizens at random. Imo is not known for all these. The governor should change style and be focused.”
