Imo Brouhaha: Okorocha Still Wants To Act As Governor, Says Uzodimma

Hope Uzodimma, governor of Imo, says Rochas Okorocha, his predecessor, wants to be in charge of the state despite leaving office.

The governor spoke on Tuesday at a stakeholders’ forum in Owerri, the Imo capital.

Speaking on Okorocha, he said the former governor should realise that he is no longer in office.

“The difference between the former governors and Okorocha is that he is out of office but he still wants to be in office,” he said.

“Okorocha is a younger brother to me; I am older than him. If not for anything, traditionally, I deserve to be respected by him.

“I don’t want to join issues with him. Let him just know that he is no longer the governor and for the short period I will be here, God’s willing, he should allow me to answer the governor I am.”
