Contrary to his promise, Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State yesterday failed to disclose the identities of the individuals he alleged were behind insecurity in the state.
The Governor, on December 18, 2021, had promised to publicly reveal those behind the spate of insecurity in the state on Tuesday, January 4, 2022.
However, Uzodinma who spoke at the Government House in Owerri, during the Imo State Stakeholders meeting failed to keep to his pledge, saying he would rather allow the security agencies to conclude their investigation on the sponsors.
He also called on the former governor of the state, currently the Senator representing Imo West Senatorial District, Rochas Okorocha, not to interfere in the running of his administration again.
His words, “Let us allow the security agencies to finish their investigation and reveal the names of the sponsors of insecurity and they will be arrested.
“The difference between former Governor Okorocha and others who have ruled this state was that he wants to be the governor when he is out of office. Okorocha is the only governor that wants to take this state alone for himself. He should allow me to rule this state as the governor. I am his elder brother and I deserve some respect from him. We cannot allow one person to hold this state hostage.”
