Former Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has lambasted ex-Governor Ikedi Ohakim for attending stakeholders meeting with Governor Hope Uzodimma.

Okorocha said; “No senator from the state, former or present, since 1999 was there. No House of Representatives’ member, former or present, from 1999 till date was there. No speaker, former or present since 1999 till date, was there, except the one who is also a member of his own faction of APC.”

“Aside from Prof. Maurice Iwu, who was there because his junior brother is the Secretary to the State Government, no other prominent citizen of the state was there, including those in business, in politics and so on.”

“At the so-called stakeholders meeting were those desperate to get political appointments from the governor and those in need of political rehabilitation.”

“If the stakeholders of Imo State were there, they would have asked the governor to tell them what he had done with about N60 billion loan, N56 billion federal allocation, N8 billion ISOPADEC fund, N42 billion Local Governments’ funds, IGR(Internally Generated Revenue) of N69 billion and billions from donor agencies.”

” They would have tried to find out what the governor has done with these billions. But the factional APC members only abused Okorocha and left with their fuel or transport money.”

“Real stakeholders would have asked why the governor has not paid workers, teachers, and pensioners for more than 12months now or why he sacked 108 ISOPADEC workers”

“Sincere stakeholders would not have encouraged the governor to engage in self-help over matters with court judgment and cases pending in courts of competent jurisdiction. Only factional party sycophants would have encouraged the governor to adopt thuggery method.”
