Ihedioha commences Demolition of Monuments built by Okorocha

Newly sworn-in governor of Imo State, Emeka Ihedioha has commenced the demolition of monuments erected by his predecessor, Rochas Okorocha.

Barely 24 hours after he was sworn-in, Ihedioha took as his first assignment the demolition of Akachi towers, a tourist attraction centre built by Okorocha.

Akachi towers was commissioned by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo a week ago when he visited the state. The project would have been commissioned by President Muhammadu Buhari who couldn’t make it down because he was performing a lesser hajj in Saudi Arabia.

The demolition has raised fears that Ihedioha will demolition other monuments erected by Okorocha.

While handing over yesterday, Okorocha made the below statement.

“I am a lover of peace. As I walk out of this government house today, let nobody fight me and I will not fight nobody”

“I have not broken the law, I only bend to achieve results. I do things the other way and I get results. I remember in 2011 when darkness ravaged and people cannot go out for fear of being kidnapped but today Imo is a secured state.

“So I can say that I came, I saw and I conquered. I am not here to make speeches on my achievements. I encourage you to support the new government in power.

“The office of the governor is a seal covering people, it is like a mask covering me and if you remove that mask you will see the real Rochas that is bigger than the governor. Let those that are fighting stop as I leave the Government House today.”
