Time indeed has exposed the real person of the governor of Imo state, Rochas Anayo Okorocha. When he won Imo State governorship seat under APGA (All Peoples Grand Alliance) in 2011, he came up with free education and some roads construction propaganda which he used to deceive the people of Imo State within his first four years in office. After his first tenure, because of his insincerity, he had issues with APGA and decamped to APC where he rigged himself into power to enable him to continue with his Treasury looting activities in the name of governing Imo State. From 2011 till date, Rochas Okorocha has turned Imo State government into a family and private affairs.
They have acquired more than one thousand landed properties within and outside Owerri through his son-in-law Mr Uche Nwosu who happens to be the commissioner of Lands in Imo State.
Some of the examples of what we are saying are as follows; Woodi Wellness Center, former Imo State Secretariat in Orlu Road is owned by Mrs Nkechi Okorocha, the wife of Rochas Okorocha, West Brook Hotel at new Owerri is owned by Uche Nwosu, Okorocha's son-in-law. Geraldine,
Rochas Okorocha' s elder sister, owns farmers market at new Owerri Road. Filling Station under construction behind farmers market is owned by Gerald, Okorocha's brother. Uche Nwosu also owns a filling station behind MCC, a school under construction in over 20 plots of land is owned by Uche Nwosu, and he also acquired 25 plots of land for his wife for her private business, it is called Elfreda Foundation. Multi-million Estervia Mega Supermarket is owned by Mrs Ogechi Ololo, Okorocha' s younger sister who is presently the commissioner of happiness in Imo State.
There are other landed properties, which Okorocha and Uche Nwosu his son-in-law acquired forcefully and through proxy. As at 2010, Uche Nwosu was an applicant, he applied for Imo ten thousand jobs organized by Ikedi Ohakim the then Imo State governor. How come within eight years, Uche Nwosu has become a multi-millionaire, with many landed properties? And it is this same Uche Nwosu that Okorocha is preparing to take over from him in 2019. If Imo people don't want to remain slaves in the hands of Okorocha, they should not vote for any candidate Okorocha is supporting.
