The Imo State Government has sealed off the Rochas Foundation College, Orji, in Owerri, the state capital.
Daily Report Nigeria learnt that officials of the Imo state Government officials arrived the old quarters of the staff of Imo Broadcasting Corporation and sealed it and took over by the state government.
Confirming the development, the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor of Imo State on Print Media, Modestus Nwamkpa, stated that Governor Hope Uzodinma, was committed to recovering properties of the state allegedly “looted by Okorocha and his family members”.
Nwamkpa stressed that the governor was implementing recommendations of various White Papers by committees set up by the state government.
“Governor Hope Uzodinma is committed to recovering all the properties of the state stolen. This is not a personal war it is just the implementation of the recommendations of the whitepapers of the various committees set up the government,” Nwamkpa said.
However, Okorocha’s spokesperson, Sam Onwuemeodo, attributed the development to Uzodinma being threatened by Okorocha’s enormous political capacity.
“This is the fourth time Imo State Government has announced that they are sealing that place. EFCC had also announced that they had sealed it but the truth is that Uzodinma should wake up. There is hunger in the state.
“This is just the renewal of his war against Okorocha after Okorocha and other strong APC chieftains in Imo State visited APC National Secretariat. Each time Uzodinma realises that the people are not happy with his style of governance, he using Okorocha’s name to distract the people but the truth is poverty and hunger pervade the atmosphere. He should be humble enough to consult Okorocha on how to govern the state,”Sam added.
