The former Governor of IMO State Okorocha called on President Bola Tinubu, for him to intervene in the alleged killings in Imo State,in order to restore peace in the area.
Okorocha thanks God almighty for keeping him alive.he also went ahead to sympathize with the family of the man that was shot dead at Okigwe, when they were going back to Enugu, shortly after they dropped me at my place at Spibat in Owerri,I send my condolences to the family and the people of Enugu state. Okorocha continued saying,I am making an effort to visit the family.I thank the governor of Enugu state, for the kind gesture.
That gave me convoy that brought me back home from Enugu, to Ihedioha's mother's burial. What I want to say is that killings in IMO State are underreported.Unfortunately, we are not making that known to the Federal Government.I wanted to bring it to the knowledge of the Federal government to do something about it.
Now in local government of Egbema is a hotbed and most people have abandoned their homes.I pealed to President Tinubu to come and help us.people are being killed daily,I don't know those involved but they should draw the line of peace.
According to the former Governor Okorocha statement,Like when I was governor of IMO State,I engaged everybody, including the mechanics, motorcycle riders, and market people.The best system of government is a government that allow people to govern themselves. Okorocha stated that something must be done urgently in order to restore peace in his land Imo State. This deadly killing must stop. Is time for political leaders to come together and we stop this. Is not in our tradition to behead somebody. We are losing lives every day.I think I will write an open letter to governor Hope Uzodimma, to invite other governor of the state to advice him on what he should do to calm the situation, former governor Okorocha said.
