A governorship aspirant in Imo State, Mazi Okey Ezeh has described Governor Rochas Okorocha’s government in the state as one that lacks well-thought out plan.
Speaking to journalists yesterday at the state secretariat of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, where he declared his intention to contest for the 2015 governorship election, Ezeh stated that Imo, currently under Governor Okorocha, had become a disorganized state because the governor had no plan to govern the state.
According to him, the state, as it were, was covered by what he called ‘rescue mission sloganeering, with the quality of schools becoming scandalous’, adding that the state was now full of substandard projects.
“In Imo, we cannot run and maintain proper schools. The quality of education is scandalous. We have mass unemployment. We have substandard infrastructure and there is no cohesive programme to put things right in our state.
“Imo is where it is today because we have a rescue mission that does not have a marshal plan”, he said.
He said what the state needed to do in 2015 after Okorocha’s ouster was to bring out a well thought-out plan that would see industries and the productive sector of the economy humming once again.
The governorship hopeful stated that he offered himself to lead the state because he has what it takes to lead the state to the promised land.
He promised to run an all inclusive, result-oriented government in line with global best practices if he becomes the governor of the state in 2015, adding that his would not be government by family association but using the best talents in the state to turn the state around.
Ezeh, who is a management expert, also promised to create real jobs for the teeming unemployed youths of the state, saying that was very possible because he had been in the business of creating thousands of jobs as an individual.
Ezeh called for the people of the state to scrutinize those whose only claims of livelihood are businessmen, because according to him, such people have no verifiable means of livelihood
