Okorocha under fire over bad condition of Imo roads
http://www.hrlnews.com/2019/10/okorocha-under-fire-over-bad-condition.html
The Imo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has
linked the bad roads in the state to what it termed “Chief Rochas
Okorocha’s cruelty” towards people of the state.
PDP made the remark while stressing that the road networks done by Okorocha, former Governor of the State were poorly done.
In a statement by its state Publicity Secretary, Damian Oparah, the
party lamented that there is hardly any state capital with worse roads
than Owerri, the Imo State capital.
The statement reads: “The PDP has noted the difficulty experienced by
drivers and commuters in the state capital, owing to the poor state of
roads in Owerri and by extension the entire state, caused by substandard
and poor construction of these roads by the former Governor, Rochas
Okorocha.
“The party saw it before time and by our series of publications, we
condemned in strongest terms, the inferior road constructions and
rehabilitation done by Rochas Okorocha administration, but some persons
took our candid advice and patriotism as playing opposition to
Okorocha’s administration.
“What made it very unfortunate and cruel, is that in less than six
months after Okorocha’s tenure, the roads in Owerri have been washed
away and decorated with potholes, making driving in the state capital an
unpleasant experience and a strenuous activity.”
The party stated that no reputable construction company was engaged
by Okorocha to work on these roads, adding that, “what we have as roads
in Owerri is heaven, compared to the roads in the rural communities”.
“Traveling from Owerri to Mbaise or Owerri to Orlu, is one sure way
of having a bad day. Imo citizens and residents have never had it this
bad. Okorocha consciously unleashed wickedness of the highest order on
Imolites,” the statement added.
