Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha has accused the governor-elect of the state, Emeka Ihedioha, of impersonating him.
“Owelle Rochas Okorocha is the governor of Imo State as we write and for Chief Emeka Ihedioha to be acting as governor and conducting activities meant for a sitting governor is impersonation. And he should be advised to maintain certain level of decorum or decency. Besides, the governor has replied his critics against property acquisition allegation, saying that they are in some cities in the country that it would be difficult for anyone to count them.
He also debunked the allegation that at the twilight of his administration, he was selling government property, such as cars and others, dismissing such as untrue. He insisted that he was convinced he won the election and returned despite the claim of “under duress” by the Returning Officer.
