Miffed with the alleged incident that
happened during the weekend, the senator representing Imo West constituency,
Rochas Okorocha, Sunday asked the governor of the state, Emeka Ihedioha, the
states PDP and the members of the Committee on Recovery of Government Property
to apologize to her daughter for slapping her.
Disclosing this in a statement by his
Special Adviser on Media, Sam Onwuemeodo, the former governor Okorocha averred
that since the incident happened on Friday, neither the governor nor the
government he heads or even the head of the Committee, has deemed it necessary
to apologize to the woman.
The statement reads thus: “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 the mother, to know why
members of the committee invaded the store and began to tamper with the items
including the ones inside the Containers especially when the EFCC had marked
the shop for investigation also following their petitions to that effect.
“Three days after the ugly incident,
neither the governor nor the government he heads or even the head of the
Committee, has deemed it necessary to apologize to the woman, the family and
the former governor. And they have not denied knowledge of the ugly incident,
like they had denied knowledge of similar cases in the past.
“It has therefore become necessary to ask the
governor and his government to apologize to Mrs. Uloma Rochas Nwosu, the family
and the former governor.
“It is even more disturbing that
instead of doing the needful, the government dished out a very heartless
falsehood, that mob wanted to lynch Mrs. Nwosu and their media collaborators
who they had assembled the previous week and struck an ungodly deal with them,
went to town with such unfounded story.
“In the history of Imo State, since
its creation, Rochas Okorocha is the only person who had governed the State and
after leaving office, the Children stayed behind in Owerri to run their
businesses without police escort and also move freely.
“The daughters have their shops in Owerri and
are physically managing them. The first son, Aham Rochas Okorocha has his
barbing Saloon along MCC/Uratta road and also managing it.
No Imo man or woman can raise a
finger against any member of Okorocha’s family. “The achievements of Rochas
Okorocha are available and verifiable. And that is why the PDP government’s
efforts to blackmail the former governor have continued to hit the rock. “The
Ndubuaku-led Committee has no template. And that is why they storm private
houses, offices and shops under the guise that they have come to recover
government’s property. “They do not have the list of what to recover.
And they do not take inventory of
what they carry away in the name of recovery. In other words, they can carry
everything in someone’s house and say they are government property.
“In the case of Rochas Okorocha in
2011, he gave the Committee two weeks to recover government vehicles in the
“hands of unauthorized persons”. The mission of that Committee was defined. And
it was not targeted at Chief Ikedi Ohakim or Chief Achike Udenwa.
But today, the governor gave the
Committee open cheque to fill themselves. “For the 8 years Okorocha was
governor, he never used his Power as governor against any Imo man or woman or
against opponents.
But the reverse is the Case today.
The governor has enthroned fear in the State and the feeling is that if nothing
is done to call him to order, he may begin to deal with the ordinary people
after Okorocha’s family.
