Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives and PDP Governorship candidate in Imo state, Hon. Emeka Ihedioha says the result of the Presidential/ National Assembly elections in the state will shock Gov. Rochas Okorocha and his party, the APC.
Ihedioha who spoke in Aba, Abia state while addressing Imo indigenes living in the city, vowed that the PDP in the state will oust the APC at the March 28 elections, adding that he decided to visit the Imo community in Aba to inform them that he has been chosen as the governorship candidate of the PDP in the elections.
“The Presidential / National Assembly polls on March 28 will shock Rochas Okorocha. March 28 will prove to him that we are not joking; PDP will the 3 senatorial and House of Representatives seats. Ndi Imo are suffering because of Rochas Okorocha bad governance. He has killed every sector of Imo economy. Imo used to be the first in education, but today we are among the last. Check the results of WAEC, NECO or JAMB; you will understand the damage Rochas Okorocha has done to Imo. He has killed education in Imo state. In no distant time, our sorrows will turn to joy. I urge you all to vote PDP wherever you are.”
The PDP candidate further accused Okorocha of running Imo state as his private business with family and friends. The PDP candidate also circulated a leaflet showing the monthly allocations to all the 27 local government areas alleging that Okorocha has failed to use it to better the lots of the people of the state.
“Check this list, you will see all the billions of Naira that has accrued to all the 27 local government area of Imo state. Aboh Mbaise has received N7.2 billion since Rochas Okorocha came to power but what has he done with the money? Nothing. All the industries in Imo state have closed shop. Abia and Imo are same, but Rochas Okorocha has spoilt the good relationship between the two sister states. I want to use this opportunity to apologize to our Abia states to forgive him because it is not in the character of the Imo man to behave like Okorocha has been doing.”
While commending Ihedioha for his achievements in office including the attraction of federal projects to all the local governments in the state, President of the Imo Community in Aba, Chief Tony Emeh described the PDP candidate as a son in whom Imo people are well pleased.
He called on Imo people living in the state and beyond to support Ihedioha and other PDP candidate to liberate Imo from Okorocha’s misrule.
