OKOROCHA PLOTS TO CAUSE BREACH OF PEACE INSTIGATE THEDECLARATION OF A STATE OF EMERGENCY IN IMO STATE.
The People’s Democratic Party, Imo State, wishes to alert your office, the general Public and other Security agencies of the sinister and despicable plot by the immediate past Governor of Imo State, Owelle Anayo Rochas Okorocha to set in motion, a carefully choreographed series of events that will lead to breach of peace, break down of law and order and ultimately provide his sponsors with excuses and justification for the declaration of a state of emergency in Imo State.
Overwhelmed by the high probability of his imminent transition from Governor/Senator to Prisoner, on account of the unearthing of his monumental looting in Imo, going by the confessions of his erstwhile aides and other revelations at the Economic And Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC), Okorocha like a drowning man, is in a desperate bid to destabilize Imo in order to divert attention from his self inflicted predicament and to buy time which he desperately needs but which is fast eluding him, came into Owerri the State capital on the 21st of August with hired hoodlums and tried to precipitate a State of anarchy.
Okorocha himself has realized that he has reached the end of the road, following the revelation of his Land grabbing, Housing, Bail- Out and Paris Fund scams,Fraudulent Contracts, Electoral fraud and the disqualification of his son in-law by an Abuja court.
The strategy is for him to engage in very provocative and vexatious acts aimed at luring the already highly incensed Imolites into attacking and possibly lynching him. This will make Imolites incur the wrath of his sponsors and provide them with the perfect alibi for interfering in the affairs of Imo and disrupting the trend of development and good governance which the PDP and the Ihedioha administration have set in motion.
For a man who presided over the the criminal and monumental pillaging and looting of the resources of the state and the destruction of it’s values and institutions to brazenly and openly declare war against the legitimate government and people of the state as Okorocha has done in the video that is currently going viral is to take freedom of expression too far.
We thank Imolites for the restraint they have shown so far in their encounters with Okorocha and implore them to exercise further restraint in their future interactions with him.We assure them that the judiciary and the law enforcement agencies will give them the justice they demand and plead with them to resist the temptation to resort to self help or yield to temptation.
We call on your office and othe security agencies to call Okorocha and his supporters to order as we may not be able to continue to restrain Imolites who have seen the difference between good and bad governance.
We hope that the security agencies will do the needful to stop Okorocha from further acts of confrontation and provocation against the good people of Imo State as we shall not be held liable for any failure of our efforts to restrain the people from reacting to his deliberate provocation.
Thank you.
