The former governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, has taken a swipe at the incumbent Governor, Emeka Ihedioha, saying that the new governor and the entire Imo state Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) took off with series of unintelligent lies to feed the public.
Briefing journalists on Friday, Ihedioha, after a facility tour of the Government House, Owerri, pointed out that he met a decayed infrastructure, saying it would not deter him and his team from delivering democracy dividend to the people.
Okorocha’s response: In a statement yesterday, Okorocha expressed disappointment in Ihedioha for not appreciating the new Government House he (Okorocha)built with facilities.
He said: “The new government in Imo State, with Chief Emeka Ihedioha as governor, has taken off with a series of lies and has also shown that it is allergic to the truth, and should not, therefore, be believed or taken seriously by Nigerians of goodwill.
“Owelle Rochas Okorocha left behind a brand new Government House with new Governors’ Lodge that is not up to three years.
“An EXCO Chamber of International Standard, a brand new Chapel and Government House Clinic, an event Hall called Nick Banquet, twin story building housing the Office of the First Lady and that of the Deputy Governor.
“But Chief Ihedioha on the first day he entered the Government House came out to tell the World that he met a decayed Government House.
“This claim could only be interpreted as an act of wickedness and ungodliness.”
The ongoing power tussle between Okorocha and Ihedioha since the latter won the 2019 governorship election of the state may not be coming to an end soon.
