Uzodinma Fails To Name Sponsors Of Imo Crises, Says Okorocha Is His Biggest Headache

Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma has failed to fulfill his promise by naming those behind the spate of insecurity in the state.

KanyiDaily recalls that Uzodimma had said he would use the occasion of the stakeholders’ forum to name those sponsoring insecurity in the state.

However, during the stakeholders’ forum on Tuesday, Uzodinma opted against naming anyone as a crisis sponsor, saying that said Imo people should exercise patience to allow the security agencies to complete their work and possibly prosecute those implicated.

Uzodinma also described former Governor, Rochas Okorocha as his biggest headache, saying that the latter probably thought he was still in charge of the state.

He said, “You will recall that I have said that I will use the opportunity of this Stakeholders meeting to name those behind insecurity in the state.

“I want to tell you that instead of naming them I will allow security agencies who are are already investigating those identified to finish their. Naming them would jeopardise the work of security agencies who are already doing a great job.”

“We have many former governors in the state. We have former governors Achike Udenwa, Ikedi Ohakim, Emeka Ihedioha and Rochas Okorocha. But Rochas Okorocha has failed to recognise that he is a former governor.”

KanyiDaily recalls that the IPOB had recently accused Governor Hope Uzodinma of turning Imo state into an abattoir for killing innocent Igbo citizens.
