Imo
State Governor, Chief Rochas Okorocha, has accused the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, of stalling development of the state in the past
12 years. Okorocha, who levelled the
accusation against the PDP when he played host to political stakeholders
from Ehime Mbano local council area of the state, also insisted that
there was no tangible thing the state could boast of in the 12 years of
PDP administration.

“PDP’s 12-year rule is a colossal disaster. All Progressives Grand
Alliance, APGA, is an Igbo political party, serving as an Igbo man’s
identity”, Okorocha said. Explaining his stance, the governor said every tribe in the country
had a political party it identified with; stressing that Ndigbo should
not be an exception.

While saying that he was one of
the founding members of PDP, as well as paid for the party’s first
office in Abuja, the governor however, said he had solid reasons for
leaving the PDP.

Okorocha said he had blocked avenues through which Imo funds
trickled into the private pockets of godfathers, adding that he was
facing opposition because of this singular act – via Vanguard
