Imo State Governor, Rochas
Okorocha, says whoever will take over from him as governor may be stoned by the
people if his performance falls below his standard.
Okorocha said this in a chat with
State House correspondents on Friday.
He said that when he concludes
his term, he would be remembered as “a good governor who impacted positively on
the lives of the people.”
His words: “I am in this job not for the profit of it but for the honour and glory of the job. So I want to leave a legacy. I want Imo people to miss me and they will definitely miss me. Believe you me they have not seen such developmental work before now and they will miss it.
“The only problem I have is that anybody that comes after me and does not perform will be stoned. Because you cannot come to Imo State now and say you want to abolish free education from primary to university, they will not accept. I have spoilt Imo people believe me.
“You cannot come to Imo State and say you want to give them a single lane road when they are now used to eight lane road in the city, they won’t accept it. You cannot come here and tell the children to go to schools where the floors are not tiled they will not accept because all the schools have been rebuilt. I have rebuilt 450 schools.
because I have built 27 to 200 bed general hospitals. You can no longer tell them those stories. All the infrastructures are there.
“You cannot tell them that there are criminal activities any more and that your hands are tied they will not accept it because we know where we brought Imo from, from unsafe place to a safe place right now. And you can no longer tell our workers to dress shabbily they will not, they will want to dress in their suits and tie and white shirts. So Imo has changed believe me.
“I stand to be challenged and corrected by anybody that what we have done in Imo State in six years can be comparable to what any governor in that state living or dead has done.
“And if we put all of them together, I can’t say whether they can match what we have done. Have you seen me sounding boisterous? That is the truth. But the point is I don’t make media noise, I don’t make foundation laying stones Programme, I don’t bring women to dance because I want to lay foundation project. I don’t commission projects because for me it doesn’t make sense.”

ReplyDeleteThis man is a criminal without a shame. Evans is far better than him, he has converted Imo into his family business.
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely right. He's so shameless. What a senseless and insensitive fool.

ReplyDeleteYES I AGREE WITH YOU. THEY WILL STONE YOUR SUCCESSOR IF HE DARES FOLLOW YOUR FOOTSTEPS. THEY WILL STONE HIM IF HE DOESN'T PROBE YOU. THEY WILL DO SO HE FAILS TO DISTANCE HIMSELF FRO YOUR AREWA AGENDA. THEY WILL DO SO IF HE EVER ATTRIBUTES OR EVEN MENTION YOU AS HIS PREDECESSOR. IN FACT FOR THIS YOUR SELF-PRAISE YOU DESERVE TO BE STONED. SO CAN YOU KEEP YOUR AREWA-INFESTED AND ALMAJIRI MIND-SET FRO SELF ADULATION. JUST ALLOW POSTERITY TO JUDGE YOU NOR THIS SELF PRAISE.
