WE ARE GOV.OKOROCHA’S MUGU

According to Aesop the great philosopher in one of his fables, he told a story that goes thus, “Once upon a time all the rivers combined to protest against the action of the sea in making their waters salt. 'When we come to you, said they to the sea, 'we were sweet and drinkable but when once we have mingled with you, our waters became as briny and unpalatable as your own.' The sea replied shortly, 'keep away from me and you will remain sweet.'

In the material world of political error and zeal for opulence, one can generally tell a man's special field of investigation by the words which he uses carefully and carelessly. Brave actions never want a trumpet. When you are doing the right things, you will be aided by forces of light to continue but the superiority of falsehood over truth is but for a moment.

I sincerely want every reader of this article to know that evil and abominable things are speaking volumes in Imo State. There are signs everywhere indicating that evil omen is politically sited on the administration sit making evil to appear as good in order to destroy the legacy of democracy in Imo State. The tree that destroyed many Imo citizens recently in Imo suggests how the administration of Owelle Rochas Okorocha is being venerated by the gods. Yes, even the gods are very exasperated on the amount of 'evil-cratic' democracy in Imo State. The falling of {Osisi Ukwu Uko} the tree that killed many people signifies bad omen and something must be done by real men of God to salvage this State from so many unknown demons that Okorocha has handed Imo over to.

The fable according to Aesop, truly reflect the state of affairs in Imo State. Before Gov. Okorocha was manipulated in through the supplementary election, our waters were not salty at all but during his median broadcast, he promised to make our waters very salty, drinkable and sweet. On the contrary, our waters today are briny and unpalatable as our mingling with Rochas has produced hunch-back on all Imo citizens. Our waters are dirty as a result everybody is sick! There is need for a serious political summit in Imo State in order to reposition things before it is too late. Okorocha's administration is an administration bereft of conscience and due process. Like all the rivers combined to protest against the actions of the sea in making their waters salty, Imo people through various channels have expressed their dissatisfaction over Rocha's administration. Our water is very undrinkable and briny. Our governor has done so many things that are making both the living and the dead uncomfortable. Like the sea in the fable replied to the rivers “ keep away from me and you will remain sweet” in the same vein, Okorocha has told Imo people who are protesting against his evil administration to either stay away from Imo or allow him to accomplish his ignoble intensions. Shall i run away from Imo state because of Okorocha? Never! I am a stack-holder in Imo state, i shall see what becomes of this 21century Adolf Hitler who has come to fulfill the sayings of Christ as is evident in John 10:10.

I have refused to allow Okorocha's intimidation to stop me from writing and exposing his fraudulent effort aimed at destroying the future of Imo State. His men have always chased me. I am Gov. Okorocha's problem and nemesis. On Monday 13thof May 2013 by 4:15 pm while on my way back from school, I was again chased and pursued by three armed men; it took the intervention of the police to scare them. On Friday the 3rd of May 2013 at about 12:42 pm the same thing happened, I was chased by a tinted hilous jeep with covered plate number and it took the intervention of military men at Umuahia to rescue me while the evil men took to their heels. You could recall that on the 17th of March 2013 by 5:30 am four heavily armed men stormed my house to kill me for criticizing Okorocha. All these are efforts aimed at stopping me from writing.

All of these started ever since I embarked on exposing Rochas Okorocha. I have said it and will continue to say that Gov. Okorocha will not stop me from speaking the truth. His administration has done us much harm. A man full of selfishness can't stop at anything and as Martin Luther King, jr. would say, “The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it”. I know that I can't do anything because I do not possess the government apparatus but it is for a while.

I am amazed at why any right thinking man could use intimidation to answer the question of the conscience. How could Okorocha use Imo like “mgbada” thinking we are all mugus? A 'mugu' is a literal word for a fool. Why should Okorocha treat us like one? Are we blind? When you visit Gov. Okorocha's UNITY house in Abuja you will pity Imo. If Gov. Okorocha was into serious business before he became a governor as he claimed, why did all his workers desert the Unity house? Today all of them are at Imo government house applying Rochas family political philosophy of “you chop I chop.” What are they chopping? Imo money of course; Okorocha is ruling Imo as a hungry and greedy man who does not allow his servants to pick a crumb from his table.

Our governor deserves to be probed because if you say you have N100, probity and accountability demands you tell us how you made it. Okorocha before now has no means of livelihood otherwise why should 'Unity House' be occupied by a Pentecostal church in a place where he claims to have a muliti-million Naira business? Today the story of road construction has become a hog-wash. Gov. Okorocha claimed to have spent over N18 billion on Local Government road construction not even N2 billion road can be seen anywhere in Imo State. Cumulatively, more than N40 billion has been spent by Rochas on L.G.A roads and it should be noted that the accountant general collects the task of ten percent of the contract sum, that is to say if N40 billion was “fraudulently” taken for road construction at the Local Government Areas, then think how much the task would be, all are going into Okorocha's private pause. I do not think that the 10 percent as discussed got to the eternal revenue owning to Okorocha's policy. In 2011 Gov. Okorocha paid N5.2 billion for projects like Akachi, Ecumenical Centre and up till now the project has no sight and nobody has questioned Gov. Okorocha. Oh! Ole agbara Shiri-ihea- Which spirit is responsible for this? Imo people are behaving like people under esoteric and occult spell; even PDP is not a strong opposition because Okorocha's manipulation and smartness appears to be confusing them. You could imagine at Ama J.K recreation park, Gov. Okorocha claimed to be building a modern car park and has paid up to N1.2 billion for a project that it's foundation has not been laid. Oh; we have become governor Okorocha's Mugu. Why is thief oh no I mean chief Okorocha doing all these to Imo State? Is Okorocha truly from Imo State? Why should God punish us this way?

I cried and cried until I had no strength the day Okorocha was sworn in. Imo, I told you this before now and everything I said about Rochas, have been proved to be correct. At the front of the Ahiajoku center Okorocha is building 1000 flats for rentage and this project is executed by a Korean contractor and our governor has paid about N2 billion and you can't find up to N200,000 on ground. What about Orlu Stadium over N200 million was paid and you can't find N1.5 million on ground. Prince hotel in Orlu is another story, over N100 million was paid by Gov. Okorocha and up till now the hotel has no sight. The one that makes me bilious is the issue of 27 General hospitals in Imo State where Okorocha paid N4.5 billion and none of the hospitals has reached decking level.

Gov. Okorocha contracted the sowing of School Uniforms, building of school lockers and much more to his wife, a contract of N18 billion in Imo was not advertised at all. Yes no bidding for any reason; Okorocha paid N18 billion into a foreign account at Kosovo. Gov. Okorocha should tell us who the beneficiaries of the account in Kosovo are, where our money {18 billion} was found. I sincerely feel pity for those who are clapping for Gov. Okorocha for stealing our money with impunity. We all know that it is only in Imo state that a governor can have an accident, bandaged without a scare. Miracle indeed! Before the accident occurred, the flight was ready and stemming to carry the accident victim to space for surgery. Okorocha Imo people know you; and I am convinced that if a man has never been employed before, his first worry is naturally over money. Oh Gov. Okorocha, your success has become your failure.
