Okorocha Replies Uzodima call for his probe, Warns against Abuse of Power

The former Governor of Imo state, Rochas Okorocha, has reply the call by the governor of Imo state, Hope Uzodima, to probe his administration.

Okorocha was reacting to the order by Hope Uzodinma, his successor, that the financial status of the state from May 2010 be sent to him.

Uzodinma, who gave the order on Wednesday while delivering his inaugural speech, gave the accountant-general of the state a four-day deadline to submit the report to him.

The former governors who ruled the state within the time span are Ikedi Ohakim (2007-2011), Okorocha (2011-2019) and Emeka Ihedioha (May 2019-Jan 2020).

But Okorocha, in a tweet on Thursday, said he is okay with being probed.

He added that however, what he does not agree with it is abuse of power.

“Let me reiterate that I have nothing against being probed,” Okorocha said.

“What I did not agree with was the attempt to misuse power to harass and intimidate me or any of my supporters.”

Shortly after he was declared winner of the Imo governorship election by the the supreme court, Uzodinma asked banks to freeze the accounts of the state.
