Things have fallen apart, that seems to be the situation in Imo State as the speaker of the State House of Assembly, Hon Ben Uwajimogu at war with the State governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha. 9ja conet learnt that the Governor is planning to impeach Hon. Uwajimogu who it was gathered is planning to join the PDP. The speaker is not happy with Okorocha whom he accused of running the State as his private estate. The speaker alleged that Okorocha style of governance is crude as he has no recourse to laid down procedures.
For the first time, the speaker admitted that Imo is owing a lot of banks several billions as the governor is doing nothing with the funds instead he is awarding major contracts to himself through ROCHE GROUPS and his inlaw who is a serving commissioner. Speaking further the speaker stated that most contractors in the state are being owed while the governor is busy chasing shadows.
The Speaker also accused Governor Rochas of lying to the whole world and before Imolites that IMO State is the richest in the federation. A claim Rochas made during the IMO Freedom Day event in Owerrin recently.
The Speaker who said that he will go the whole hog to expose Rochas said that the governor bribed some members of the House to impeach his former deputy.
According to Uwajimogu the former deputy governor did not embezzle any money as confirmed by EFCC after their investigation of the case. Meanwhile the speaker has urged Imo people to remain calm as the House of Assembly will soon do what is expected of them.
The speaker also claimed that the allegation of corruption against him is false declared that governor Okorocha is a symbol of corruption and fraud. He stated that that governor is using Rochas foundation to steal imo blind. Okorocha has come to rescue his pocket and not imo, no wonder he is grabbing everything at sight. When contacted the SSA to the governor on media declined to speak on the issue.
