I Have spoilt Imo People With Development – Gov Okorocha

Governor Rochas Okorocha has scored his performance as the helms-man of the state, high. He also said that the Imo people will stone his successor if he or she does not perform well. .

The Governor told newsmen that he did not get into politics for profit, but to serve and leave a legacy. According to Vanguard, he said this while speaking to State House Correspondents in Abuja. .

Okorocha said “I am in this job not for the profit of it but for the honour and glory of the job. So I want to leave a legacy. I want Imo people to miss me and they will definitely miss me. .

Believe you me they have not seen such developmental work before now and they will miss it. The only problem I have is that anybody that comes after me and does not perform will be stoned. .

Because you cannot come to Imo State now and say you want to abolish free education from primary to university, they will not accept. I have spoilt Imo people believe me.

You cannot come to Imo State and say you want to give them a single lane road when they are now used to eight lane road in the city, they won’t accept it. .

You cannot come here and tell the children to go to schools where the floors are not tiled they will not accept because all the schools have been rebuilt. I have rebuilt 450 schools.

You can no longer take them to those ramshackle hospitals, those shanties they called hospitals because I have built 27 to 200 bed general hospitals. .

You cannot tell them that there are criminal activities any more and that your hands are tied, they will not accept it because we know where we brought Imo from, from unsafe place to a safe place right now. .

I stand to be challenged and corrected by anybody that what we have done in Imo State in six years can be comparable to what any governor in that state living or dead has done. Have you seen me sounding boisterous? That is the truth. .

But the point is I don’t make media noise, I don’t make foundation laying stones Programme, I don’t bring women to dance because I want to lay foundation project. I don’t commission projects because for me it doesn’t make sense.”
