I Will Rescue Imo From Okorocha’s Claws – Ihedioha

Former Deputy Speaker of the Senate Emeka Ihedioha, has vowed to rescue the state from governor Rochas Okorocha’s claws.

Okorocha is endorsing his son-in-law Uche Nwosu to replace him in 2019 and Ihedioha who is also vying for the post has said he remains the best man for the job.

According to him, the state needs someone with experience and not a stooge, stressing that Imo is not a personal property.

“It is one thing to be youthful yet another to be experienced. Working with a godfather as your principal may not guarantee you all the needed experience to take up a job as Imo governor especially as it is a known fact that you will only continue from where you stopped as stooge,” he told Vanguard.

“Imo State needs an independent minded person. A man with loads of exposure, contacts and respect that can open doors among major political players at national level to move the state forward.

“It is not enough to ride on the crest if a godfather who will be deciding from his bedroom. Imo cannot no longer remain in the bondage of family ties.

“Imo is not a personal or private property which will be run or determined by a family or just one man.

“This is why I maintain that government and power must return to the people. Imolites are no slaves.”
