Former Imo State Governor and Senator representing Imo West, Rochas Okorocha, has asked President Muhammadu Buhari and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to call incumbent Governor Hope Uzodimma, to order.

He accused his successor of consistent harassment and attacks on him and members of his family.

In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media, Sam Onwuemeodo, in Owerri on Wednesday, Okorocha also called on the leadership of the All Progressive Congress (APC), to look into what Uzodinma has been doing in the state and call him to order.

Okorocha further lamented the demolition of 16 pedestrian bridges he constructed across the state as governor, by Uzodimma.

“As we write, more of such bridges must have also been brought down by Governor Uzodinma’s caterpillars,” the statement made available reads.

He added that Uzodimma had used the state government as a vendetta against him and those who worked with him.

“The Governor of Imo State seems to derive his strength and joy from the suffering and tears of Imo people following his anti-people’s policies and actions, including the demolition of the pedestrian flyovers meant for them.

“The pedestrian bridges had been standing strong for more than eight years and had been in constant use by the people of Imo State.

“The time has come for President Buhari and the leadership of APC to look into what Gov. Uzodinma and his heartless government have been doing in Imo.

“Gov Uzodinma, since he came on board under a very disturbing scenario, is either demolishing Okorocha’s projects or renaming them, just to remove any trace to Okorocha.

“The government would fill potholes on roads built or constructed by Okorocha, and rename them and also claim credits.

“The same government sponsored a court case against Okorocha on the day he addressed a World Press Conference on his 2023 Presidential ambition.

“When that one failed, they came back and began to demolish the pedestrian bridges constructed by Okorocha with Imo people’s money.

“The governor has been using Okorocha to distract Imo people and beyond, over his total failure to give Imo people leadership.

“The government in Imo has taken the state into deep slumber. Nothing is working in the state. The government has unleashed task forces on Imo people.

“And the Governor seems not to be worried about the trauma Imo people have been going through under his government.”
