Governor Hope Uzodimma on Tuesday failed to name sponsors of insecurity and criminalities in Imo State despite information from government house that the governor would do so.
In his 40-page score cards adresss presented to the people of Imo State at the Government House, Owerri, the governor flayed the former governor of the state, Senator Rochas Okorocha, over what he described as his plan to be governor again.
He said: “Imo State has former governors like Chief Achike Udenwa, Chief Ikedi Ohakim, Governor Emeka Ihedioha and Governor Okorocha, but the only difference between Okorocha and other former governors is that he is out of office but he still wants to be governor again.”
Governor Uzodimma said that he did not want to join issues with Okorocha while he promised to do everything possible to ensure there is peace in the state.
He disclosed that his administration, since assumption of office, had faced a barrage of security challenges, the first one being a politically-sponsored against his administration.
According to him, this was followed by orchestrated attacks on police formations, killings and maiming of policemen and innocent citizens.
The governor said that some of the security breaches were politically contrived, insisting that such conclusion was based on intelligence information at his disposal.
He acknowledged the fact that his administration planned to name those behind the insecurity in the state during the stakeholders meeting based on the confessional statements and substantial evidence provided by the criminals in custody.
He however called on the relevant law-enforcement agencies to do the needful, insisting that his administration will not allow anyone to hold the state hostage.
Governor Uzodimma said that to keep the state safe at all times, government has provided security vehicles, including Armoured Personnel Carriers, to security operatives in the state, adding that this was in addition to 200 Hilux vehicles.
