Rochas Okorocha, governor of Imo,
says Adams Oshiomhole, national chairman of the All Progressives Congress
(APC), is a noise maker.
Okorocha challenged the APC
chairman to publish his achievements for the duration he was governor of Edo
state.
He said it is only then that
Nigerians would be able to judge who failed as governor between both of them.
Speaking through his chief press
secretary, Sam Onwuemeodo, the Imo governor said: “We won’t allow Oshiomhole to
eat his cake and still have it. And we start this way: Adams Oshiomhole was
governor in Edo state for eight years.
“Rochas Okorocha has been
governor in Imo for less than eight years. And we challenge Oshiomhole to
publish his achievements in Edo state for the eight years he was governor and
let Rochas publish his own achievements in Imo in less than eight years. And
let Nigerians judge between the two who failed as governor.
“If Oshiomhole fails to accept
this challenge, we won’t have any other option than to conclude that he is just
a noise maker.
“Mr. Oshiomhole has been talking
and working to fulfill his own part of whatever deal he has with Chief Hope
Uzodinma. He is acting his own part and in doing that, he has thrown caution to
the wind.
“A national chairman of a party
who came for the campaign of a governorship candidate of his party would have
used the opportunity offered by that event to market the candidate.
“But in this case, Oshiomhole
talked about Governor Okorocha and carefully skipped because he knows where the
problem lies with the candidate.
“All the media reports on what
Oshiomhole said at the rally were all about Okorocha. He consciously avoided
telling Imo people why they should opt for Chief Uzodinma at the poll in 2019
or why he chose him as the guber candidate of the party in the state.”
On the issue of salary arrears
owed by his administration, Okorocha said Oshiomhole admitted owing Edo workers
at the end of his tenure as governor, noting that he is therefore not qualified
to talk about payment of salary.
“The truth is that the APC
national chairman has resorted to noise making to see if that could help him
out of the whole mess but all to no avail,” he added.
“The blackmailing of Rochas in
Abuja by few Imo born political hawks has nothing to do with the tick political
followership Rochas enjoys in Imo.”
