Okorocha attacked by his kinsmen for neglecting his LGA
Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has
come under fire from his kinsmen in Ideato South Local Government Council for
allegedly neglecting them since assuming office in 2011.
Speaking at a press conference yesterday in
Owerri, the Imo State capital, a community leader, Chief Tony Mbaegbu, claimed
the people of Ideato South lacked social amenities such as good road, potable
water, electricity and other infrastructure.
He accused Okorocha of being unfair to the
people of the area.
He said: “While it is true that you are our
son and brother, it is instructive that we make it abundantly clear to you that
you dealt so treacherously with us, such that you kept the entire Ideato South
in perpetual darkness.
“No electricity in the entire local
government for your eight years tenure, which is rounding off in few days.
“A trip to Ideato South from all angles of
the state is usually a tale of ruination, trepidation and outright neglect,
with the exception of your last-minute fire brigade approach to road
construction within your immediate community of Ogboko. Hence, virtually all
the major entrances leading to Ideato North/South are in decay.
“Therefore, we plead that you do not break
the bridge or unduly create enmity between our local government and the
incoming administration such that it will become difficult for us to establish
the needed good working relationship for the benefits of our neglected
communities, even when we have you as our brother and governor of the state for
eight years with little or nothing to show for it.”
