Immediate past governor of Imo
State, Senator Rochas Okorocha, has demanded that his successor, Emeka
Ihedioha, the Commissioner for Justice, Ndukwe Nnawuchi (SAN), and the
chairman, Recovery of Moveable Assets, Jasper Ndubuaku, apologise to him.
According to Okorocha, the
apology is for alleging that he carted away state government’s property worth
over N50 billion and incurred garnishee debts of N20 billion.
He made the demand in a statement
issued yesterday by his Special Adviser (Media), Sam Onwuemeodo.
Okorocha, who is the senator
representing Imo West, said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governor had
failed to publish details of the items and debts, despite his demands.
He said: “The PDP government in
the state had, through the chairman of its committee on recovery of public
properties, Mr. Jasper Ndubuaku, told the world at a press conference that the
former governor, Senator Rochas Okorocha, and wife, Nneoma Nkechi Okorocha, had
taken away 67 vehicles and N50 billion.
“The same day, the Attorney-General
and Commissioner for Justice, Ndukwe Nnawuchi, also told the media that the
former governor had incurred N20 billion garnishee orders which has now fallen
on the shoulder of the government on seat at the moment.
“We challenged Ndubuaku to
publish the particulars of the 67 vehicles and details of the N50 billion
Okorocha and the wife made away with. And we gave them seven days to do that.
“We also challenged the
attorney-general to make the particulars of the cases that occasioned the
garnishee orders, for Nigerians to see whether it was Okorocha’s administration
that attracted them or the PDP governments in the state from 1999 to 2011.
“It is unfortunate that till now
or more than two weeks after, the elements concerned have refused or failed to
show Nigerians cause to believe them with regard to their claims.
“We cannot keep quiet in the face
of such bogus allegations, especially when the PDP government in the state now
has shown unbridled penchant for blackmail, propaganda and lies.”
