Imo state governor, Rochas Okorocha has said the Igbos have been referred to as “the most truthful, committed and trust -worthy people but often misunderstood in the country.’’
The governor made this statement on Monday, December 5, when he received the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, in Government House, Owerri.
Okorocha said that Imo state had witnessed tremendous progress under his leadership. He described Imo as “one of the safest states’’ in Nigeria, where there was no more kidnapping, armed robbery, cultism and baby factory syndrome.
He attributed the relative peace and security in the state to the efforts of the security agencies, especially the Nigerian army.
Okorocha praised the military for the successes being recorded in the fight against insurgency and terrorism in the North East.
The governor also commended the army for the “Exercise Crocodile Smile” and newly introduced “Exercise Python Dance” in the South-South and South-East zone, urging the security agencies to do whatever they could to secure the pipelines to enable the free flow of oil to generate revenue for the nation.
Okorocha had earlier revealed that he is finding it difficult to sleep because of his vision to change Imo state.
The governor made the disclosure in Owerri on Thursday, November 17, while inspecting some of his on-going projects in the state.
