Uzodimma Recants, Fails To Name Sponsors Of Insecurity In Imo

Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State on Tuesday failed to name sponsors of insecurity in Imo as promised.

Uzodimma had said that he would use the occasion of the stakeholders’ forum to name those sponsoring insecurity in the state.

However, speaking at the occasion, Uzodimma acknowledged that statement from him heightened tension in the state.

He said that rather than naming them he would allow security agents who had identified them and were discreetly conducting investigations to do so without interference.

He accused politicians and the media of hyping the statement thereby creating unnecessary tension and apprehension in the state.

Uzodimma however named former Governor Rochas Okorocha as his greatest headache in the state.

He accused Okorocha of usurping his role as a governor by not recognising that his time as governor had gone.
