Rochas Okorocha, former governor
of Imo State, has challenged his successor, Emeka Ihedioha, to stop behaving
like a lawmaker.
He said rather than settle down
to his responsibility of governance, Ihedioha had been setting up committees as
if he was still a member of the House of Representatives on oversight
functions.
The governor stated this in a
statement signed by his Media Aide, Sam Onwuemeodo, yesterday.
The statement read, “The new
governor of Imo State, Chief Emeka Ihedioha, has not started to govern the
state; looking at his activities and utterances so far.
“He has been embarking on
oversight functions as if he is still at the National Assembly where he was,
uninterruptedly, for 12 years.
“He has also been busy setting up
series of committees with at least three committees a day, and has never done
any serious thing or taken any serious step or said any serious thing to show
that he has actually taken the seat as the governor of the state. He also seems
not to have cared about asking questions.
“In the course of doing oversight
functions even as governor, he would go to one bad dredging site which he won’t
mention where it is, he would send out the photograph just to blackmail his
predecessor or he would send out the photograph of one bad toilet they got from
somewhere and said it was in the Government House. So petty and unserious all
these days.
“The former governor left more
than 1,000 verifiable projects behind for him. He has never cared to visit any
of the projects to show that he has come to work and that he means well.
“If he could be showing the world
one bad toilet we knew they got from Owerri Office of the PDP when landmark
projects are located at various parts of the state waiting for him to see, and
know what to do with them; then he hasn’t come for service.”
