Imo State Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha yesterday called for patience and understanding from indigenes of the state, pledging that he would deliver on his campaign promises.
The governor who addressed newsmen in Owerri, as part of his activities to mark his 100 days in office, berated his predecessor, Chief Ikedi Ohakim for the handling of contracts his administration. While acknowledging that the expectations of the people are high, he noted that it would not be easy achieving all that the government had set for in short time because of the many challenges met by his administration.
According to him most of the contracts Ohakim awarded in the state were highly inflated citing the case of a hall in Imo Concorde Hotel which he said the former governor claimed he spent N2.3 billion to execute.
He also disclosed that Ohakim spent N650 million to refurbish the governor’s quarters a similar project Governor Okorocha claimed he spent N250 million to complete adding that part of the roofs of the building has already started leaking.
Okorocha vowed not to follow such path in administering the state adding that before long the people would start seeing the dividends of voting him in as the governor of the state despite the fact that he met an empty treasury with over N100 billion liabilities when he assumed office.
