Ihedioha Has No Plan For Governance – Uche Nwosu

The gubernatorial candidate of the Action Alliance (AA) in the 2019 election and former Chief of Staff to the former Governor of Imo State, Chief Uche Nwosu, has carpeted and challenged the new Governor of Imo State, Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha, to unfold the programmes he has for the people of the state instead of embarking on a wild goose chase.

Chief Nwosu who was reacting to the claim by the new Governor that his predecessor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, did not properly hand over to him and as a result is finding it difficult to take off, urged him to jettison the excuses and focus on his campaign promises of Rebuilding Imo State, adding that the people are not interested in endless streak of excuses.

He maintained that the actions of the Governor since he assumed office, “showed that he is not serious and does not seem to have any cutout plan or blueprint for governance, except the desperation to grab power”.

According to Ugwumba Uche Nwosu, “For the time he will stay as the governor, he should unfold his plans and programme for the people. No one is interested in excuses, what the people want is performance and nothing less. The people want concrete statement on what the programmes of the government are, what the government intends to do and how it would deliver dividends of democracy to them and not embarking on a mission to pull down Owelle Rochas Okorocha”.

He continued that, “suspension of Local Government Chairmen and their Councilors, dissolving the recently inaugurated members of boards of government agencies and parastatals and scrapping of recently established tertiary institutions, is definitely a wrong way to start for a government that wants to make headway. One would have expected that by now, the Governor should have engaged the civil servants and tell them what he has for the workers, as well as taken up from where his predecessor stopped”.

In his words, “the acrimonies that could arise from these actions are hardly what Ihedioha needed at this time, he should rather consolidate on the achievements of his predecessor and that is was what Imolites want to see. He should concentrate on the business of governance. If I were the Governor today, I will definitely hit the ground running, knowing that there is job to do”.
