Former Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha has the recent destruction of the fence and gate of the radio station owned by his daughter.
Few days ago, Okorocha was arrested for unsealing the hotel which was earlier sealed by the Imo State government led by Hope Uzodinma. He was later released after the South-east governors forum intervened in the matter.
Hours after his release, a bulldozer was deployed to Reach FM premises which is owned by Okorocha’s daughter, the fence and the gate was pulled down on the basis that they were blocking a major road. Reacting to this, Okorocha has said that the particular property has been their for over 25 years which saw both military and civilian governments.
According to the senator, Uzodinma cannot win the war against him because no one wins a war on the basis of falsehood and deceit. This was disclosed in a statement released by the Senator’s media aide, Sam Onwiemeodo on Wednesday, February 24.
The statement reads;
“And that untenable claim by Onuegbu was to justify another nauseating action. Before the radio station, you get two hotels and six other buildings in front.
“Beside and behind the station, you also have several other buildings. And there is no way a building at the centre of other buildings, including hotels, could have been on the road.
“The pulling down of the fence and gate of the radio station, with indigenes and non-indigenes of the state working there to earn their living, had come two days after the same people had invaded the Royal Palm Hotel with armed thugs and men in police uniform, who claimed to be from the Government House.
“They had earlier looted the hotel under the guise of sealing it.
“To all intents and purposes, Chief Uzodinma has used his governorship to create a new Imo State where bloody clashes, killings, thuggery, kidnappings, and tension, now pervade or reign.
“Aside Okorocha, other Imo people had either been attacked, arrested or detained and homes and offices invaded like that of NLC in Owerri.
“We are not expecting these attacks occasioned by envy, vendetta, conspiracy, hatred, and lack of ideas for good governance to stop. But we shall only continue to inform the public whenever they carry out any fresh attack.
“But obviously, Governor Uzodinma shall not win. What is important in every war is who wins and who loses. Governor Uzodinma cannot win, because no one wins war on the basis of falsehood and deceit.”
