Okorocha Scores Uzodimma Low on One Year in Office
Former Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha has appealed to the incumbent governor of the State, Hope Uzodimma, to desist from alleging his abysmal low performance in one year was due to assessment performance within the period under review.
In a statement issued by Okorocha’s Special Adviser, Media, Sam Onwuemeodo, the former governor said Uzodimma took over from Chief Emeka Ihedioha on a clean slate, after Supreme Court’s judgment, and wondered why his case was different.
