A former governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, on Tuesday, claimed that the state governor, Hope Uzodinma, was busy inaugurating roads that his (Okorocha’s) administration constructed.
Okorocha, who currently represents Imo West at the Senate, said this while reacting to the last Friday’s inauguration of Akachi Road in Owerri by the President of the Senate, Ahmed Lawan.
The former governor, who reacted through his spokesperson, Sam Onwuemeodo, said the road was constructed by his administration in 2011.
He said, “The Akachi Road which Governor Uzodinma is inaugurating today was constructed by Okorocha the moment he came in as governor in 2011.
“The place where the Akachi Road was constructed was a thick forest. Okorocha constructed the road, it was completed and inaugurated.
Recall that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had arrested the senator representing Imo North on Tuesday at about 4:15 pm at his private office in Abuja.
He was released after several hours of interrogation. Okorocha and Uzodinma, both of the All Progressives Congress (APC), have been at loggerheads as the governor has accused his predecessor of corruption and personalising state-owned properties.
