In a dramatic turn of events in Imo State, Senator Rochas Okorocha, representing Imo West in the National Assembly, fiercely contested the move to recall him, denouncing the orchestrators as “political undertakers.” In a statement issued by his spokesperson, Sam Onwuemeodo, Okorocha referred to members of the Orlu Political Consultative Assembly as “adult delinquents.”
The Orlu Political Consultative Assembly had declared their intention to recall Okorocha from the Senate, but the senator refused to back down without a fight. Dismissing their motives as absurd, he claimed that their actions were driven by a desire for personal gain rather than any genuine concern for the people of Imo.
In response to Okorocha’s remarks, the Senior Special Assistant (Print Media) to Governor Hope Uzodinma, Modestus Nwamkpa, retaliated, accusing Okorocha of provoking the people of Imo with his words. Nwamkpa emphasized that Governor Uzodinma was fully occupied with the responsibilities of governance and urged Okorocha to address his recall ordeal without dragging the hard-working governor into the fray.
The political showdown has intensified tensions in Imo State, with citizens closely observing the developments. As the recall drama unfolds, the state’s political landscape is rife with uncertainty and intrigue, leaving many to wonder about the implications for the region’s future. Only time will tell how this power struggle will ultimately play out and what impact it will have on the people of Imo.
