BY CHIDI NKWOPARA, OWERRI.

Imo State Governor, Chief Rochas Okorocha, has described Imolites as “very difficult to govern”, following a plethora of petitions and scathing opposition coming from several quarters.

Chief Okorocha gave the verdict when he had a breakfast meeting with members of Independent Newspaper Publishers Association, INPA, in Government House, Owerri..

He lamented that despite massive road construction, his free education to the tertiary level, construction of general hospitals in the 27 local council areas, all geared towards uplifting the welfare of the citizenry, “some people are still
not appreciative of my efforts”.

The Governor sympathized with former governors Achike Udenwa and Chief Ikedi Ohakim over what they passed through while in office and came to the conclusion that “Imo people are very difficult to govern”.

Continuing, Chief Okorocha expressed shock that rather than partner with him in developing the state, some people busy themselves with waging battles at all costs.against him.

He recalled what his administration passed through in the hands of Owerri people when he wanted to build a hospitality industry in thedisputed Area K, World Bank Housing Estate, Owerri, stressing that the project has now been transferred to Oguta.

the reason is that over the years the people(especially civil servants and politicians) have become so accustomed with lackadaisical attitude to policies and development and also 'eating' from government that anything that changes the statues quo is met with vehement opposition.however this really does not affect people not attached or 'eating' from governmnet.

^^^Yeah, but are they world-class? I think it's more a case of quantity over quality, and these are normally ventures owned and run by the typical one-man show we normally find in the South East....hardly do you see public quoted companies running these businesses.

I want to see Hotel behemoths (the likes of The Hilton, Le Meridien, Sheraton, etc) opening in major cities in the SE like Owerri, Enugu and Onitsha, and other locations like Oguta Lake holiday resort. Maybe it's this type of large scale operation that Okorocha has in mind, and he has my full support.....provided it's in partnership with the private sector though.

If he is complaining because of small imo state. How about ruling NIGERIA,with different tribes and their wahala. It means he shouldn't bother contesting for presidency in the near future.

to be honest i do not think owerri needs that.yes they might not be your le meridan types but a lot are quite good(maybe highest 3 star by nigerian standards).owerri is already saturated with such.it is better it was moved to oguta.

^^^C'mon man, give the guy a break! I know there are few Governors that are as passionate about human development and skills aquisition like Rochas is; only a few months ago, i was impressed to watch a news story about how Imo State was going to involve young engineers from the state in 'on the job' training with any company handling projects in the state (either that was the new initiative, or it was something similar to that).

Lemme see if i can find the link.

Rochas should get used to human. It's not only Imolites but human specie generally, you can't satisfy everyone. Just make sure you're doing your best with honest mind.

it is true but to top it up i think(as someone from the state) it is because people especially civil servants and so called godfathers have become so used to chop chop syndrome that they are raising hell now they do not see anything to chop especially the politicians.

This loudmouthed and clueless governor of Imo State thought Ndigbo and especially Imo State indigenes are pitiful panhandlers. Rochas Okororcha can shove his beggar mentality and skip Imo State for his mother’s place of birth for good.
Re: Imolites Are Difficult To Govern – Okorocha by Jeboy(m): 3:24am On Sep 07, 2012
This is what happens when you critisize leaders without fully knowing the pressure of running governance in Nigeria. This is also how loud-mouthed Nairalanders bash gov officials but I tell you if you by chance get there, you will know it aint easy. Rochas now get back to work,you have convinced your people that you(APGA) is better than PDP so match your claims with action rather than doing solidarity for Ikedia and Udenwa.Imolites won't take any excuse from you for failure, you promised and you must deliver.

um . . balderdash . . . it could simply be that people are no longer impressed with road projects and painting of streets and the lot which they have come to be used to. What they want now is tangible changes that, even after he is gone, they can state will remain.
