Critics Are Helping To Boost My Profile, Says Okorocha

Gov. Rochas Okorocha of
Imo says his critics are
boosting his profile by the
day.
This is contained in a
statement issued by his
media aide, Mr William
Unadike, in Owerri.
It said that the Okorocha-
led administration was not indebted to any bank, adding that the more the
governor was criticised, the more his profile kept rising.
The statement also quotes Okorocha as saying that those who had followed
his administration’s activities would be astonished with the achievements
compared with what the state had been receiving from the federation
account.
It appealed to those who engaged in destructive criticism to have a change
of mind and support the administration to build a better Imo that would be a
pride to the future generation.
The statement said that the governor had not committed any offence to
deserve what it called the ”unwarranted attacks from his detractors”.
“My only crime is the refusal to allow the resources of the state to be shared
by the privileged few against the interest of the majority of the people,”
it quotes the governor as saying.
The statement said that Gov. Okorocha was using the state resources to
cater for the interest of the greater majority through the provision of social
infrastructure that would guarantee improved standard of living.
It said that the governor had made personal sacrifices to ensure that every
Imo child had access to education by forfeiting his security vote to finance
free education in the state. (NAN)
