Rochas Okorocha, former governor of Imo State, has challenged his successor, Emeka Ihedioha, to stop behaving like a lawmaker.
He
said rather than settle down to his responsibility of governance,
Ihedioha had been setting up committees as if he was still a member of
the House of Representatives on oversight functions.
The governor stated this in a statement signed by his Media Aide, Sam Onwuemeodo, yesterday.
The
statement read, “The new governor of Imo State, Chief Emeka Ihedioha,
has not started to govern the state; looking at his activities and
utterances so far.
“He has been embarking on oversight functions as
if he is still at the National Assembly where he was, uninterruptedly,
for 12 years.
“He has also been busy setting up series of committees
with at least three committees a day, and has never done any serious
thing or taken any serious step or said any serious thing to show that
he has actually taken the seat as the governor of the state. He also
seems not to have cared about asking questions.
“In the course of
doing oversight functions even as governor, he would go to one bad
dredging site which he won’t mention where it is, he would send out the
photograph just to blackmail his predecessor or he would send out the
photograph of one bad toilet they got from somewhere and said it was in
the Government House. So petty and unserious all these days.

Okorocha should not be bussy watching the mistakes of the new governor of Imo state. He should be given chance to fashion out his own style of governance.
