Anambra State governor, Willie Obiano has described Imo governor, Rochas Okorocha as a “Motor park governor.”
He said this on Wednesday in response to a statement credited to Okorocha who said the Anambra governor was aggressive and would have done better as a militant.
Obiano spoke through his Senior Special Assistant on Media, Strategic Communication and Legislative Matters, Prince Oliver Okpala in a statement.
He said Okorocha had no right to fight the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) that made him governor after several failed attempts.
“The attention of the Media Directorate of the Anambra State Governor, Chief Willie Obiano has been drawn to the gratuitous diatribe by a fellow South Eastern Governor, Rochas Okorocha of Imo State against his person and the government of Anambra State.
“It is not in our tradition to respond to such issues but since silence in the face of such grave claims often amounts to guilt, we are therefore duty bound to make our position known to properly guide the public,” the statement said.
Obiano while responding to Okorocha referring to him as clueless said he was surprised that his administration which “has dazzled Nigerians with superlative achievements would be referred to as clueless”.
He said, “If a governor that has constructed countless number of roads and bridges, embarked on several rural electrification programmes, constructed uncountable number of schools, and health facilities as well as rid the entire Anambra State of crime and criminalities, is being termed clueless by Okorocha then there must be another meaning for cluelessness.
“Okorocha is widely known for his questionable past which has continued to trail him despite his hogwash attempts to cover it up with a facade of his bogus but empty philanthropic activities. Many people have over time seen through his tricks.
“Indeed Okorocha is an example of what a leader should not be. He talks of ideas when he cannot pay workers salaries and now tries to intimidate Imo retirees to forfeit 60 percent of their arrears of their sweat.
“Are those the kind of ideas we need at this critical time? Those are destructive ideas, and a destructive idea cannot bring about constructive ends.
“This is a Governor who has failed woefully to pay workers salaries. He is also heavily indebted to even pensioners who have spent their youth and strength to labour for the state, in their old age.
“As Nigerians ruminate on this matter, the question should be asked: What was Okorocha before he became governor? What was his visible source of income?”
okorocha is indeed a motor park governor, a governor without agenda. A man that has no regard for the people he governs
iam writing from imo state, the so called governor we have here is the most dangerous human we had ever seen. He is selfish, he took imo state as his private business, he has no regard for the state assemble, he will just wake-up and start doing something without assembly members. He is a real motor park governor
The people I pity most is the IMO people that voted a clueless ,vision less man like Rochas a man full of propaganda and lies a man that intend to reduce work days and send people to farm ,a man that is not up right in his decisions.
No wonder his party is fumbling and wumbling since it is made up of such people as okorocha.
Obiano is professional and an ex ED of a bank who has performed credibly well in Anambra pls OB ignore the clueless man
