Governor Rochas Okorocha has hit back at the Former governor of Imo State Governor Ikedi Ohakim for criticizing is government in a recent letter.
Ohakim had in the letter slammed Okorocha for his poor administrative style, saying it did not impact the lives of the people.
Onwuemeodo boasted that the achievements of Okorocha had surpassed that of his predecessors, including Ohakim.
He said, “We have read the latest media outing against Governor Okorocha by the former Governor Ohakim, which was published in the media which he also presented as a letter to the Imo Governor.
“In his story, the former governor, as usual, said so many things but could not fault our repeated claim that the achievements of Governor Okorocha so far have surpassed the achievements of all those who had governed the state before him put together. We have always made bold to say this and we stand to be challenged.
“The truth is that we can no longer afford to spend our project-oriented time replying the former governor. If he meant well, he should have been coming to meet with his successor to discuss issues as stakeholders in the state, instead of this campaign of calumny.
“When he wrote the first letter and raised certain issues, we responded by publishing the monumental achievements of Governor Okorocha in less than six years, which took several pages. We were able to name the projects and their locations and took that opportunity to show that Chief Ohakim’s outing as governor was never a success story. He never reacted to say we had told lies because he knew we were on the sides of truth.
“We do not know how Chief Ohakim feels today when he enters Owerri and sees that it has become a new city with eight-lane roads, inland roads, tunnels and flyovers, and even the new Government House, which had shanties when he held sway. In fact, in an ideal clime, Chief Ohakim should be celebrating Okorocha for achieving so much or doing the things he didn’t think about during his time.”
