Imo state governor, Owelle Rochas is probably the governor with the most inconsistent reportage I have seen online. Some reports say he has transformed Imo to a mega state, other reports say he has done nothing of note in Imo. this inconsistency is quite confusing to me as some Imolites hail him as the best thing to happen to Imo state while some curse his existence. please can any imolite here on ground in imo state help clear my confusion..

Imo state needs to go back and beg Ikedi Ohakim for forgiveness.

the pig is a massive and collosal mistake

I'm from Imo, Rochas is the worst thing that happened to Imo state.

truth be told he has massively transformed owerri. He has built interconnecting roads were there were none before. he has implemented urbanization of owerri, making it beautiful compared to the years under PDP. he has also undergone the relocation of the markets within owerri municipal, the first to ever do this in the aim or modernizing the state capital. He has improved the school buildings in most of the local government areas in the state.
compared to the decadence that occurred in the state under the PDP tenure, he has done very well.

on the other hand
1. he tampered with the salary of the state civil servants. as long as you beautify the building but make the occupants to suffer and make them go hungry, they will never be happy with you.
2. nepotism; his family members and close associates are known to own lands and titles and undue benefits
3. his unfair treatment of retirees who sufferred for the state by paying them with dud cheques that keep bouncing. he will say that he has paid the retirees, this is true in the sense that he has goven them checks. however, when they try to withdraw from the account they will be told there is no money in the account and they should check back later.
4. the improvement of the state capital does not extend to other parts of the state. for example he introduced cabs that replaced kekes and called them TAXIMO ( IMO being for the whole state) but restricted the cabs to the state capital. should have been TAXIOWERRI.
5. He's manifesto while campaigning for second term was JOBS JOBS JOBS and INDUSTRY INDUSTRY INDUSTRY. unfortunately, no new investor has established any new industry in the state. a lot of youths are without jobs and are hungry.
6. misplaced propriety: Statues and a new ministry of happiness when the money would have been utilized for better projects.
7. White elephant projects; derelict projects can be seen in the state such as the 27 General hospitals and Gates as well as roads which he told people to build. many people borrowed money to do such projects for the state which they never received a dime for.
8. non coordination of projects; he forced markets to relocate without the full completion of such markets. most are still under construction.

On behalf of all of us Imolites he's a massively colossal mistake
