Ohakim tackles Okorocha on ongoing demolition

The Former Governor of Imo state, Chief Ikedi Ohakim and his successor, Governor Rochas Okorocha, have taken swipe at each other concerning the ongoing demolition exercise embarked by the present government.

While Ohakim, alleged that the original master plan laid down has been destroyed by the present government and that the ongoing demolition exercise was not captured in the state budget, Governor Rochas Okorocha, described Ohakim as one of those politicians in the state, who do not see anything good about his administration and that his regime has come to correct the maladministration of Ohakim in 4 years upon which he said, he was voted out of power in 2011.

In a letter addressed to the Imo State government, titled “Current Trends of Events in Our State” and signed by Ohakim, he said, Your Excellency, your present road expansion in Owerri Municipal is not in conformity with the master plan and any know element of road design. For example, the huge economic losses from the present exercise will far outweigh the few meters to be from the proposed expansion.”

” To worsen matters, no public right of way is left for the replacement of pipes and cables, as your proposed expansion will end at the foundation of peoples houses. I have it on a good authority that the ongoing exercise were captured in any of the state budget in the last five years. This, therefore makes it fiscally wrong to embark on such projects because it negates the essence of good governance.”
