Former Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, has expressed
worries over the high level of killings in the state, saying the state is not
the same as the one he governed from 2011.
Okorocha expressed displeasure that over seven governors in
the country and other notable individuals would have attended the burial
ceremony of Jemimah Nwosu, mother of his son-in-law, Uche Nwosu, but could not
because any governor visiting Imo State must come with armoured vehicles.
“Indeed I am not happy with what is happening in my state.
“This is not the Imo State we know, these killings must
stop, this was the situation I met on ground in 2011 when I came in as governor
and I did my best to bring it to a halt,” he said.
Okorocha, now Senator representing Imo West Senatorial
District, said this at St. Peter’s Anglican Church Eziama Obaire in Nkwerre
Local Government Area of Imo State.
He opined that many other notable individuals would have
attended the burial but due to insecurity and negative reports coming from the
state they could not.
Okorocha appealed to youths in the state not to vent their
anger on innocent Imo people over poor governance in the state but rather use
their voters cards to express their anger to vote out bad government and
leaders both at the state and federal government level in the upcoming general
election in 2023.
Recall that Imo State has been in the news in recent time
over rising cases of insecurity resulting in killings, kidnapping of notable
individuals including some traditional rulers by unidentified gunmen.
