There is an unusual calmness in Rochas Okorocha’s camp in Imo State
given the first skeletal appointments of the new governor of the State,
Senator Hope Uzodinma which did not favour his (Okorocha’s) boys.
The former governor who had earlier given hope to his teeming
footsoldiers about his contribution towards the emergence of the new
governor was taken aback at the very first appointments of the governor
which included the Secretary to the State Government, Chief of Staff,
Attorney General and Chief Press Secretary.
Our correspondent in the state reports that the former governor has now
resorted to political gimmicks where he massages the governor’s ego,
pleading for acceptance in the full glare of the public.
Worse still, his ALGON chairmen who were suspended by the immediate-past
government and whose hope was rekindled by the emergence of the new
governor, recently received the biggest shock of their life when the
governor instructed that local government councils in the 27 LGA be
manned by the Directors of Administration and General Services DAGS
pending the conduct of local government councils elections.
Although, the new governor, Hope Uzodinma has admitted that the two
factions in the party have now come together, reactions from the general
public on the domineering powers of the former governor may continue to
keep him at bay.
There have been series of warnings to the new governor from Imo
community to avoid Senator Rochas Okorocha and his surrogates if the
government must succeed.
Meanwhile, it is said that the former governor, Rochas Okorocha is
seriously lobbying to incorporate his boys in the next of appointments
in the state.
