Rochas Okorocha, a former Governor of Imo state and the Senator representing Imo West senatorial district on Saturday quashed an accusation that he is behind the insecurity in his state. The allegation was said to have been made by incumbent governor, Hope Uzodinma.
Okorocha stated this in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media, Sam Onwuemeodo. The release was obtained by POLITICS NIGERIA. He challenged the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, to investigate the sponsors of insecurity in Imo State and make the outcome public.
According to Okorocha, “This is not what Imo was known for. And all hands must be on deck, to get the problem solved. It does not require muscle-flexing. Or push me, I push you.
“It is our candid request, that the Inspector-General of Police and other Concerned Security Agencies, should investigate the Imo governor’s accusation against Okorocha, to find out the truth or otherwise of this costly accusation. We would also delight that the outcome of their findings be made public, in due course.
“Okorocha governed Imo for eight years and ensured enviable peace, water-tight Security, bubbling and lively State and would not imagine or have any reason to dream of encouraging Security Collapse in his dear State. This is not possible and can never be possible.”
