A former Governor of Imo state, Ikedi Ohakim, said the present administration under Rochas Okorocha, has taken Imo State backward in terms of  governance.

Ohakim said this, on a casual visit to  Achingali in Obowo Local Government Area of the state, where he stopped to see for himself a water scheme, built by his administration.

Ohakim was not pleased to see that the project had been abandoned.In the former governor’s expression, ” you can see that the water scheme has been abandoned and vandalised.”

“My administration built this project in almost every nook and cranny of the state. We built 1,930 of the water scheme across the state.” he expressed.

He further added that “the idea of the water project was to make sure there is water in every kitchen in Imo State.”

He expressed surprise why the present administration would abandon such project to embark on building “empty halls, substandard roads and people are left without good drinking water.”

 Ohakim asked, “who will drive on the roads when they have no water to drink or if they die from diseases gotten from unclean water sources?”  “Where are  the two generators we provided to pump water?”The former governor inquired.

“You can see that cables have been destroyed and vandalised, the whole place over grown with weeds and left to fall apart just because it was Ohakim’s project,” he added.

He further adviced the governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, in his sarcastic words  that; ”Governance is about continuity and essentially for the benefit of the people and not for the ego of one single individual.

“You cannot keep abandoning or destroying what Ohakim built for the people just because you want to erase Ohakim’s legacies,” Ohakim said.
