Former governor of Imo, Rochas Okorocha has met with Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo to thrash out issues of his squabble with the current governor Hope Uzodimma.
According to Okorocha, he doesn’t want the misunderstanding between him and his predecessor to escalate into any conflict. Okorocha spoke with journalists after his meeting with Osinbajo.
He said: “The question is ‘what wrong has Rochas done?’ Have I done any wrong bringing APC to the south-east? And when I built APC, none of these people were there. They were all in PDP,
Was it wrong that I encouraged my family to invest in their state, rather than investing abroad? I asked nothing of the government. I simply wanted to live my free life. But it is for he that accuses to prove.
“What preoccupies my mind is to make sure that we don’t create tension in the state, because already this country has a lot of insecurity. And police that ought to be busy doing something else should not be busy going to guide the sealing of a property with a white paper stronger than court judgment.
“Can a governor use a white paper to execute a judgment? Can you be a judge in your own case? These are the questions begging for answers, and why the use of thugs to attack your immediate predecessor and a senator of the federal republic?
“What are you trying to achieve? Now that you have arrested him, or forced him to police station with thugs, what have you achieved? What is the case against him? Nothing.
“That is why I described it as a very unusual situation. I think it is a script that is playing out, and this script has been for too long.”
