Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha, yesterday blasted maverick
politician, Arthur Nzeribe over his comments in the media that the
state government will play host to another governor in 2015 through
his prowess.
This was contained in a press statement issued through his senior
special assistant on media, Sam Onwuemeodo, maintaining that the power
to govern the state does not rest on Nzeribe or any other godfather.
Nzeribe was reported to have vowed to resist the re-election of the
Imo State governor after he boasted that the Imo Government House will
witness another governor in 2015.
According to the statement, "When we read the report, we delayed
responding to it to see whether the Oguta Imo State born politician
would deny the report, or to say he was misquoted because we never
expected an experienced politician like Chief Nzeribe to vow on who
would become governor in the state in 2015 or who would not become
governor in the state in 2015.
"The truth of the matter is that Chief Nzeribe has never in his
politics supported any governorship candidate in Imo to the extent of
that person winning election to become governor. And we are talking
about when Chief Nzeribe was on the fast lane of Nigeria politics.
