NIGERIAN NOTCH

The 3R government of Imo State is not leaving any stone unturned in the recovery program of the administration.  The gazetted white paper report from the judiciary commission of inquiry on land matters seems to be inexhaustible with list of public properties illegally acquired by the Rochas Okorocha administration and associates. Following a court order, the Imo State government recovered 53 hectares of land from Orji in Owerri North LGA of Imo State which were illegally acquired by former Governor Rochas Okorocha. This is in addition to the over 40 hectares of lands recovered from him. The government of Imo State would not be emotionally blackmailed into abandoning the mandate of Imolites which includes but not limited to the recovery of all public and private properties illegally acquired by anyone. While it is the right of anyone to acquire lands whenever the state advertises for such, it remains the prerogative of the law to dictate the procedure and process for such acquisitions.

No doubt, the Rochas Foundation is a non governmental organization owned by Rochas Okorocha and operates on charity as claimed in the content. However, you do not give out what doesn't belong to you in the name of charity and no amount of sentimental / emotional blackmail would justify the f

The statement further stated that the provocative and reckless conversion of public assets into private use, which was the hallmark of Okorocha's administration, remains one anomaly every right thinking Imolite has remained hopeful that any responsible administration will address with ever
