Okorocha, Uzodinma In Another Battle Over Ownership Of State Project

The former governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha has again clashed with his successor, Governor Hope Uzodinma. Okorocha asked Uzodinma to stop inaugurating the projects he did when he was the governor.

Okorocha said this in a statement by his spokesperson, Sam Onwuemeodo, on Saturday, adding that it was embarrassing and worrisome that the incumbent governor was claiming and inaugurating his projects, calling on the governor to build his own project.

The statement read, “We appeal to His Excellency, Governor Hope Uzodinma to stop claiming and inaugurating projects Senator Rochas Okorocha did when he governed the state from May 29, 2011 to May 28, 2019.

“It is not only embarrassing to the governor, his government and indeed the people of the state, but worrisome for the government to be claiming or taking the credit for the projects done by any of the governors before him, especially by Okorocha.

“It doesn’t speak well of the incumbent government.”

The statement added that they may be tempted to let the world know that the Uzodinma administration had been claiming Okorocha’s projects.

In response to the claim, the Senior Special Assistant to Uzodinma on Print Media, Modestus Nwampka, urged Okorocha to stop provoking the people of the state. He added that the governor had in one year in office performed more than Okorocha in eight years.
