The crisis rocking the Imo chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) took a new twist on Tuesday, as the state government attacked Senator Rochas Okorocha for alleging that Governor Hope Uzodinma ordered the invasion of his daughter’s warehouse.
Okorocha, who was the former governor of the state, had said Uzodinma was overwhelmed with governance, urging him to learn a few lessons from him in administering a state like Imo.
The latest attack on Okorocha comes barely few weeks, after the people of the state expressed their love for Okorocha during a burial in the state while the entire people went silent when Uzodinma stood up to speak.
Reacting, the state government, in a statement signed by the commissioner for information and strategy, Declan Emelumba, said Okorocha would have long been a candidate for jail if not for the fact that the government wanted to follow due process.
He said: “For a man that his hands are filled with a stinking, shameful past to be boasting of non-existing popularity confirms that he is shameless and irredeemable.

The statement disclosed it was an insult on the person of Uzodinma for Okorocha to have offered to teach him some lessons in governance.
“What is he going to teach Uzodinma? How to loot the state? How to build China roads? How to convert government university to personal property? Or how to run ‘familitocracy’? You cannot give what you don’t have”
The statement added it was unfortunate that Rochas Okorocha had not come to terms with the fact that Imo people wanted him to be thrown into jail for his alleged atrocities in office for eight years.
Emelumba also explained that projects being demolished constituted risk to the lives of Imo people because of their substandard nature and failure to adhere to stipulated guidelines.
He said the state was riddled with failed roads and abandoned projects for which full contact sums were paid but yet not completed.
