The immediate past governor of
Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, has told his successor, Emeka Ihedioha, to order a
member of a committee on recovery of stolen state government assets to
tender public apology for allegedly
slapping his (Okorocha’s) daughter, Uloma Rochas Nwosu.
Okorocha noted that, “On Friday,
July 26, 2019, a member of the Committee on Recovery of Government Property set
up by Governor Emeka Ihedioha and led by Mr. Jasper Ndubuaku, slapped the
daughter of the former governor of Imo State, Mrs. Uloma Rochas Okorocha, when
she went to the All-In Furniture Store owned by her mother, to know why members
of the committee invaded the store and began to tamper with items, including
the ones inside the containers, especially when the EFCC had marked the shop
for investigation also following their petitions to that effect.”
Uloma, who is Okorocha’s first
daughter, is married to Uche Nwosu, the Action Alliance 2019 candidate who came
second in the last governorship election in the state, which Ihedioha won.
Okorocha, in a statement issued
on Sunday in Owerri by his media aide, Sam Onwuemedo, said it was improper for
the Peoples Democratic Party-led government in the state not to have apologised
to him (Okorocha), his daughter Uloma and family, three days after the alleged
incident.
Okorocha, who currently
represents Imo West in the Senate, said that for eight years he served as
governor, he did not use his power as chief executive to intimidate any
indigene of the state.
The immediate past governor also
alleged that his successor was blackmailing him.
But Governor Ihedioha said that
‘blackmail’ by Okorocha would not deter him from recovering movable government
assets allegedly stolen during the latter’s administration.
The Special Adviser on media to
the governor, Steve Osuji, said that no appointee of the governor slapped
Okorocha’s daughter.
The governor’s aide said, “We are
not aware that such thing happened. We are not unruly like them.i
“If they are sure of what they
are saying, let them go to court. They know the right thing to do.”
