Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State, has accused the State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, of embarking on a looting spree, ahead of the May 2019, inauguration.
This was made known on Friday, in a press release signed by Sam Onwuemeodo, the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Okorocha.
The statement reads in full:
“We want to inform the general public and Imo people in particular, that the members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the State, have embarked on systematic and violent looting of properties owned by the State, and brought or installed by Governor Rochas Okorocha. In doing that, they have adopted various unconventional tactics.
“They have removed most of the solar street lights and other beauteous installations in the State capital. They have removed expensive seats kept in public buildings. They have also begun to snatch official cars, especially from the women appointees. And they operate mostly at night.
“They have formed themselves into Property Recovery Committees and Task Forces, and they claim to have been set up and inaugurated by Chief Emeka Ihedioha, who was declared winner of the March 9, 2019, Governorship election in the State.
“And they have continued to accuse the outgoing government of looting. And in doing that, they have not been able to associate any government functionary with any of their false claims or show evidence of their claims.
“We have also been informed that they clashed with one of the Contractors, over some construction materials at the Heroes Square, when they prevented the Contractor from conveying the materials to his site and had tried to move the materials, but the Contractor resisted them.
“The PDP members have not changed and will never change, with their awkward attitude this time. The irony also is that, in doing these absurd things, they do not care how the generality of Imo people feel. This is regrettable.”

ReplyDeleteDon't mind the fool. I have a video i shared on FB of his relative that he sent to remove all the chairs, street lights etc at Heroes square in Owerri.
DeleteThe video is trending that's why he now wants to form innocent.
How can a governor in waiting looth?
He must think we are dumb headed.
Please send the video to SDK as e dey hot!
DeleteRochas is a foolish man... iya iya oooh #singing
DeleteHe has no right tampering with anything because they were bought and built with public funds / tax payers money not from his personal pocket. He should be arrested.
DeleteHow did we get to this level where an elected governor reasons like, it is his right and entitlement. For the love of Christ, this is shameful and disheartening.
he is carrying out an Amaechi stunt...
DeleteHow can a party that is about to take over loot what they are going to meet? Why is Rochas being this worried? I believe it's the other way round and he is trying to divert attention of the people.
ReplyDeleteMay 29th is no longer far again before his probe will commence.
All things are possible in naija. I believe rochas
DeleteClass captain we have heard you o
