Sen. Rochas Okorocha
* Crisis: Apc may lose power in 2023 if… – Okorocha
Former governor of Imo State, Senator Rochas Okorocha has told Governor Hope Uzodimma that his relentless wars against him would amount to shadow chasing that would add no value to his government.
Okorocha, who represents Imo West Senatorial District, made the statement in his reaction to the alleged invasion of his warehouse along Aba road, opposite Alaba International Market, on the orders of the state government.
In a statement issued on his behalf by his media aide, Sam Onwuemeodo, Okorocha challenged the state government to disclose or publish the proof of ownership of all they claimed they had recovered.
“All these cock and bull stories have become irritating. If Governor Uzodinma was not demolishing Okorocha’s projects, he was invading warehouses in his government’s desperation to malign Okorocha.
“And the question is how all these would help governor Uzodinma in the governance of the State. We have been reluctant to use the word clueless, but the government’s actions and inactions have given reasons to be described as such”, the statement reads.
The former governor also called on the state police command to investigate those in police uniforms, who invaded the warehouse, to find out whether they were really officers of the Nigerian Police, “since it was not expected that police men would have gone for the invasion of the warehouse, without a valid court order.
“We have also read what the commissioner for commerce and industry, Mr. Simeon Ibegbulem said were recovered from the Warehouse. It was interesting to read that what the commissioner said they recovered from the warehouse were street lights accessories and cartons of ties and without his disclosing how he arrived at the conclusion that those items were owned by the government.
“And if Okorocha wanted to hide any item, could he have done so at a Warehouse along the busy Aba road and opposite one of the biggest markets in Owerri, the Alaba International Market? And if after eight years of being governor, what the government could claim to have been looted by Okorocha were street light gadgets and cartons of ties then, those who invaded the warehouse should cover their faces in shame.”
The statement recalled that the Emeka Ihedioha-led administration also invaded the same warehouse on the claim that it was recovering government’s properties, but ended as hoax.
