Thank you for coming to this press conference. The Imo State Government is aware of the many disgusting utterances made today from the former Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha. It smacks of clear panic and frenzy, because it looks like the law is gradually closing in on him. It is expected he will panic because the guilty is always afraid.

One is not surprised with the way he is talking incoherently, if you listened to him you'll find a man who is in panic. First, he said the police came into the Church shooting and his wife approached the policemen who were shooting, yet she wasn't hurt. This doesn't make sense to anybody.

Again, he said he saw Government House vehicles which confirms that Governor Hope Uzodinma was involved, yet he couldn't tell us the numbers. If he was in the right State of mind, in the midst of the sporadic shooting he could see the Plate numbers, he could have at least quoted one Plate number so that people can verify.

In the same breath, he said he called the Police Commissioner who told him the order came from Abuja, yet he is still accusing the State Government. Again, he said the Inspector-General of Police must have been misinformed, what is surprising is that if a man is innocent or feels no guilt, and the Police has said we are in custody of this man, the next thing is to allow for due process to follow.

What is the haste in his press conference, trying to politicise an ordinary thing. Uche Nwosu is just an indigene of Imo State and a citizen of Nigeria and if he has run foul of the law, the Police has a right to arrest him and nobody should dictate to them how they do it.

It depends on the gravity of the offence and the information at their disposal. You never can tell, maybe they heard that after there, he is leaving for the Airport going to Abuja, so they may decide to take necessary steps to make sure that they get him in their custody.

But what is baffling is a former Governor of this State, Rochas Okorocha, is busy raining abuses on His Excellency, the Governor of Imo State and saying all manner of things about him. I don't want to join issues with him and he claimed that he doesn't know what he has done. He has not done anything except that he raped Imo State treasury, he raped Imo State resources, he raped Imo State people, and looted their common patrimony. If he is lacking evidence on that, the recently recovered K O Mbadiwe University built with over N40bn of Imo State resources should be enough evidence.

He should actually bury himself and his face in shame, and then if he brings his family to you, then I say both himself and his family should bury their faces in shame because what they came to do in Imo State was to loot and steal the people's common patrimony.

And because this Government ably headed by His Excellency, Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodinma is a Government that believes in due process, that is why he has been taking his time to recover all these things. Rochas never believes in due process, he never respected the rule of law. He demolished the house of Captain Iheanacho without any recourse to due process, and without any apology and so many other ones he did.

He took the laws into his hands but this Government is following due process that's why he can still talk. A man who committed such atrocious crimes against Imo people, I am surprised, of course he has no shame, that's why he can still talk otherwise the evidence is everywhere that he looted the State. He converted the lands of Imo People to his private estates, converted even properties belonging to people, desecrated the sanctity of Owerri Masterplan, so many things that can't be named.

All these things are within the public but because this Government believes in due process that's why he is still walking about free and talking the way he is talking. However, I believe that no matter how slow the will of justice grinds, it will effectively and ultimately catch up with the guilty.

What former Governor Okorocha has done today is only to confirm once again, that he is guilty, otherwise why the panic. First of all, they were the people who started spreading the rumour that it was an abduction, gunmen and then shortly after that, you are now accusing the State Government even when he confirmed that the Police Commissioner told him the order was from Abuja.

What he wants to do is whip up sentiments because those days he could take Imo people for a ride are gone. Imo people now know him as a man who came here and looted them dry. Honestly, in a civilized society, this man should not be walking the streets free, talking the way he is talking. He should bury his face in shame because he was a total disaster in Imo State and that's why he is in a panic.

Because he doesn't know what's next. If I were him or if he is somebody who is sure of himself, what he should is to wait for the due process of the law to take its course. Thank God nobody is taking the law into his hands. If Uche Nwosu is guilty of anything, the Police has arrested him, the next thing is the next step, which is find out why he was arrested.

If he committed any crime of course, he should face the wrath of the law because he is not above the law. So what is the point of whipping up sentiments that he is sure that this is the plan (of the Governor) to name he and his family as those behind the banditry in Imo State. He is already indicting himself, and that's why I said he is guilty. He is in a panic and that is the first reaction anyone who is guilty. This will not stop the course of law to take its place, if Uche Nwosu is guilty of anything the law will take its course and if Okorocha is also guilty of anything, the law will also take its course.

All these ones he is shouting is not going to save him. What he should do or what anyone who loves him should do is to say, let the rule of law takes its course and not to whip up sentiments.

BeeBeeOoh:
Hope should stop feeling fly, someone should remind him that he won't be Imo state governor all his life. Okorocha has come and gone so will Hopeless Hope in years to come.

The same cane he is using today to flog Okorocha will still be used to flog him in the nearby future

helinues:


But truth be told, Imolites should not have allowed that Supreme Court kangaroo judgement to stay.

That's broad day light robbery

DemMannaScam:
Okoro awusa is paying for his sins now
The supreme court miscreant will also pay for his sins too

Na turn by turn, no cap!

When you warn them to build strong institutions,they don't listen!

When you talk, it's these same people that will tell you that Okorocha was already a billionaire! SMH billionaire that's excessive greedy!

That Uche Nwosu "is just an ordinary citizen" doesn't give you
right to treat him that way!

Can you enter a mosque and arrest someone that way

What could he (Uche) have done that you can't wait for the service for the mum to come to an end

SMH

post=108838680:

Police SARS where they brought people everyday and shoot them, asking they must say Rochas or any member of my family is involved in the insurgency in Imo State.

Are you thinking what I am thinking

BeeBeeOoh:


What would they have done when the apex court has declared the declaration?

The truth is that Okorocha is the biggest loser here not Ihedioha, I know he'll be regretting why they used that abracadabra on Ihedioha.

helinues:


This is one of the reasons why Pdp is a useless party. They neglected Ihedioha during the court cases.

Regarding Imolites, though they might not have seen the SC decision coming, but it should have been rejected through peaceful protest across the state. If the majority are saying NO through protest, FG and SC would have no option than to opt for reelection

BeeBeeOoh:


The truth is that PDP didn't see that abracadabra coming, they were feeling fly till it done on them.

Secondly, even if the Imolites protested till Jesus comes SC will not reverse the judgement nor opt for reelection because it has been planned and nailed waiting to be executed. The worst that would have happened then is what is happening now.

Let the Imolites be wise as serpent, be brave as a dove and not sleep like the fishes in the next Imo gubernatorial election because, if not, repetition brouhaha sure pass for them o.

helinues:


Something they Pdp didn't follow, why would they see the SC judgement coming .

When they could have addressed all the suits filed by Hope through media, hire competent lawyers and also follow the court cases by paying media to broadcast it live.

The Judges could have been careful with their judgement . You don't underate the power of media in such circumstances cos it would go worldwide

BeeBeeOoh:


Well, that's their own bottle of agbo not mine or yours. May be they will be up and doing next time, but, what is have in Imo state is no longer funny.

helinues:


The Imolites should just allow the politicians to settle their scores within themselves without getting involved.

Focus should be on next Imo Guber election cos na as how we dey manage Buhari to complete his 2nd term, so as Imolites go manage for Hope to complete his first term

slivertongue:



hmmm imo was for the taking. Hope was the first to jump ship to give Buhari more visibility in the East. Kyari rewarded him with the state. There was nothing anyone could do to save imo, but the justices will face karma in due season. Even INEC denied the results tendered by hope, the ACP also claim he was asked to defend it by igp.

Politicians are nice when looking to be hired as the people's representative but once they get there forget it. On a good day one expects hope to sustain the confusion, tension and crisis because that gives him the opportunity to governor the state unchallenged. He is playing it well, the more the mayhem the more security is deployed to the state, the more scare resources are stolen under the guise of security votes, the more the state is a police state and the more he is the center of political discourse in imo. Hope and his men are responsible for all the insecurity.

An unpopular leader will remain unpopular no matter what he or she does cos of the absence of social contact with the people

Nonpartisan1:


He will still win the re-election effortlessly. Hope and Umahi know the game very well in the south East. If you una like make una burn down Imo State. He will still be the Governor till 2027.
