Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo
State, has accused the State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, of
embarking on a looting spree, ahead of the May 2019, inauguration.
This was made known on Friday, in
a press release signed by Sam Onwuemeodo, the Chief Press Secretary to Governor
Okorocha.
The statement reads in full:
“We want to inform the general
public and Imo people in particular, that the members of the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, in the State, have embarked on systematic and violent looting of
properties owned by the State, and brought or installed by Governor Rochas
Okorocha. In doing that, they have adopted various unconventional tactics.
“They have removed most of the
solar street lights and other beauteous installations in the State capital.
They have removed expensive seats kept in public buildings. They have also
begun to snatch official cars, especially from the women appointees. And they
operate mostly at night.
“They have formed themselves into
Property Recovery Committees and Task Forces, and they claim to have been set
up and inaugurated by Chief Emeka Ihedioha, who was declared winner of the
March 9, 2019, Governorship election in the State.
“And they have continued to
accuse the outgoing government of looting. And in doing that, they have not
been able to associate any government functionary with any of their false
claims or show evidence of their claims.
“We have also been informed that
they clashed with one of the Contractors, over some construction materials at
the Heroes Square, when they prevented the Contractor from conveying the
materials to his site and had tried to move the materials, but the Contractor
resisted them.
“The PDP members have not changed
and will never change, with their awkward attitude this time. The irony also is
that, in doing these absurd things, they do not care how the generality of Imo
people feel. This is regrettable.”
