Uzodinma May Not End Well As Imo Governor – Rochas Okorocha Warns

Former governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, has expressed that his successor, Governor Hope Uzodinma, may not end well as governor of the state.

He made this comment while addressing his supporters at Spibat mansion in Owerri, the state capital, on Monday.

Okorocha, who now represents Imo West at the Senate, said that Uzodinma had left governance and “is now pursuing shadows.”

Okorocha alleged that Uzodinma sent over 1,000 thugs to attack him and his aides.

Okorocha said,

“The way Governor Hope Uzodinma is going, he may not end well as governor. Insecurity is ravaging all. Over ten houses were burnt in Oguta yesterday. He knows what he is doing. He wants everybody to fear him. Instead of him to face governance and pay salaries and secure the state, he is busy chasing shadows of violence.”

The lawmaker also called on the Inspector-General of Police, Muhammed Adamu, to immediately arrest Uzodinma’s Special Adviser on Special Duties, Chinasa Nwaneri, and the governor’s Senior Special Assistant on Youth Affairs, Eric Uwakwe, who he alleged led thugs to attack him at the estate.
