Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State has described Imo West
Senator, Rochas Okorocha as his younger brother.
Uzodinma made the remark while noting that he has nothing
against Okorocha, who is a former governor of the State.
Since assuming office, the relationship between Okorocha and
Uzodinma has been frosty.
On several occasions, Okorocha had accused Uzodinma of
witch-hunting his family.
In December 2021, some police officers had in a gestapo
manner, arrested Okorocha’s son-in-law, Uche Nwosu in Imo State.
Reacting, Okorocha had accused the Uzodinma-led government
of being behind the arrest.
However, Uzodinma said he has nothing against the Senator
and former governor of the state.
Uzodinma spoke at a stakeholders’ meeting held at the
State’s Government House in Owerri, the State capital.
According to Uzodinma: “I have said it times without number
I have no personal grouse with anybody. All of you who know me well in Imo
state, I tried one time or the other to contest election.
“In some cases, I won. In some cases, I did not win. And
when I didn’t win, I left back for my businesses. When I won, I served the
people with all my heart.
“Okorocha is a younger brother to me. I’m older than him, if
not for anything, traditionally I deserve to be respected by him. I don’t want
to join issues with him.
“Let him just know that he is not the Governor and for the
short period I will be here God-willing, he should allow me to be Governor.”
