Imo State governor, Rochas
Okorocha has told former governor of the state, Chief Achike Udenwa to remain
in Abuja because Imo people will stone him if he enters the state.
The governor said Udenwa was a
failure who achieved nothing after eight years as governor of the state.
Okorocha was reacting to an
interview where Udenwa described Okorocha as a colossal failure whose projects
in the state were usually cosmetic and often collapsed before completion.
Speaking through his Chief Press
Secretary, Sam Onwuemeodo, Okorocha said Udenwa was a broke politician seeking
attention.
He said, “Udenwa ruled Imo State
for eight good years; let him come and show Imo people what he did for them
those years. It is not enough to criticise; the facts are there.
“In the case of Okorocha, he has
been in office for barely seven years and has over 1000 projects and still
counting. Anybody who comes to Imo will see that he has changed the face of the
state.
“Okorocha is a grassroots man and
Imo people like him because they know he has their interests at heart. Most of
his investments even before he became the governor are in Imo State.
“If you come to Imo State and
criticise Okorocha, the masses will stone you. It is only the elite in Imo
State that are not happy with him and we all know why. Udenwa who is talking,
live in Abuja and does not even know what is happening in Imo State.
“If he comes to Imo State, he
cannot criticise Okorocha because the people will come after him.
“You could not have governed Imo
for eight years with nothing to show and you are criticising Okorocha whose
projects have transformed the state and even a blind man can see them.”
