The Committee on Recovery of Stolen Imo government assets set up
by governor Emeka Ihedioha has told the immediate past governor of
the state, Rochas Okorocha, to apologise to the people over the
sins he committed against the state.
A statement issued in Owerri on Sunday by Iheanyi Enwerm, on
behalf of the committee said that Okorocha should be in a sober
mood owing to the number of government assets recovered from his
family members and political allies.
The statement said that vehicles, soundproof power generators,
chairs, doors, roofing sheets, rugs, kitchen utensils, had
allegedly been recovered from members of Okorocha’s family and
political allies.
The statement said that looted government assets were discovered
at a warehouse in Owerri which allegedly belonged to Okorocha’s
wife.
The statement read in part, “Ordinarily, we would have chosen
the part of silence since an adage goes that silence can be golden
and more so when Imolites have seen with their own eyes how
Okorocha looted the treasury and properties of Imo State government
which is being recovered by Hon. Jasper Ndubuaku led Committee on
Recovery of Government Property.
“It is on record that the Jasper Ndubuaku led recovery team made
a publication in various media platforms, where he called for the
assistance of patriotic Imolites to help the committee locate
government properties, known to have been looted by Rochas Okorocha
and his family members were being kept, and this is gradually
yielding positive results.
“It is instructive to note that the committee has recovered,
vehicles, soundproof generating sets, chairs, doors, roofing
sheets, doors, rugs, kitchen utensils, among other things. This, I
believe should have sobered the ex-Governor and his family
members.”
“Imolites are not surprised that looted government properties
were discovered at a warehouse known to belong to Nkechi OKOROCHA,
wife of the ex-governor. The biggest assistance we have received
has come from the people.
The statement urged Okorocha to humble himself and apologize to
the people of the state for allegedly aiding the stealing of
movable properties belonging to the state government.
“Instead, Chief Okorocha and his family members should apologise to
Imolites for the primitive manner they plundered the state’s
resources for 8years, not done with the looting, they, having lost
their ill-conceived gubernatorial election, resorted to carting
away properties belonging to government.”
