Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has launched a blistering attack on Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State, describing him as a clueless person who would do better as a militant than as a governor.
While describing Governor Obiano as an analogue governor unfit to rule a state like Anambra with its stirring political history, Okorocha pointed to his strides in business, economy and politics which put him head and shoulder above Obiano.
Okorocha’s assertion was against the background of Obiano’s denial of the claim by the Imo State governor that three of the four other South-East governors were in talks with him towards defecting to the All Progressives Congress, APC. Obiano, like the other governors, strongly rebuffed Okorocha with the former saying that Okorocha’s credentials in leadership were not worthy to inspire anyone to follow him.
Okorocha in a sharp reaction, through his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Sam Onwuemeodo, in Owerri, yesterday, said: “That kind of motor park language was unexpected from a governor of a state who answers His Excellency, even when the Anambra governor did not explain what he meant by that. In what way was Governor Okorocha not an example of what a leader should be?
“Let Obiano publish his achievements in Anambra State even with high IGR, and let Governor Okorocha also publish his achievements in Imo. Then, we take off from there.
“As governor, Owelle Okorocha came up with ideas and popular policies like free education at all levels which has been working well in Imo, Community Government Councils (CGC), urban renewal programme, Ikuola Nkwu, Imo Air, massive road networks, building of universities, infrastructural revolution, and so many others.
Obiano, no doubt, has taken Anambra State several kilometres backward, while in Imo, Okorocha has raised the bar of leadership or governance. “To say the least, comparing Okorocha with Obiano is like comparing Messi of Barcelona FC with the left wing player of Mberi Secondary in Mbaitoli LGA of Imo State.”
