I’m prepared to talk to Uzodinma about Imo’s insecurity. — Okorocha

Rochas Okorocha, a former governor of Imo State, stated on Monday that he would be happy to meet with Hope Uzodinma, the current governor, to talk about the state’s security issues.

Three days after his convoy was attacked in the state and a police officer was killed, Okorocha told journalists in a press conference at his Spilbat mansion in Owerri, the state capital, that security had gotten worse in Imo state.

For the first time, Okorocha declared that he would write the governor a letter asking him to call a meeting of all previous state governors in order to help address the issue of insecurity.

The former governor stated that it is the only matter on which he would consent to a meeting with the governor.

He added that he feels concerned for the state’s citizens’ safety and said that he has no business with the governor other than ensuring their safety and welfare.

Managing the state’s good, bad, and ugly natives and residents during his eight years as governor, Okorocha claimed that political power is useless if the populace does not reap the benefits of democracy.

Former governors, according to him, might have information to impart to Uzodinma that could help put an end to the killings and arson occurring in the state.

“I feel disturbed by the killing of the police officer who was sent by the government of Enugu state to take me to the burial ceremony of Ihedioha’s mother,” said Okorocha. To his family, the Enugu State government, and the Inspector General of Police, please accept my condolences.

I’ll go see his family first, and then we’ll continue from there. He left behind a wife and four young children, and I discovered he is from Ogun State. I’m going to address a letter to Governor Hope Uzodinma for the first time. I will ask him to call an assembly of all former Imo state governors. We might give him information that would put an end to the state’s insecurity.

I can only consent to our meeting on the basis of this. I’m worried about the safety and well-being of Imo state. Party politics are unrelated to this. As a former governor of this state, I have something to impart to him. Former governors Ikedi Ohakim and Achike Udenwa have information to share with him. We should proceed in this manner. Power is the authority that has been placed in your hands to ensure the security, welfare, and welfare of the populace. How content the populace is determines the success of every government.
