Former Imo State Governor and ex-Senator representing Imo West, Rochas Okorocha, has claimed that Governor Hope Uzodinma cannot match his achievements in the state, insisting that his record remains far ahead of that of the incumbent governor.
Okorocha made the remarks during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, where he dismissed suggestions that Uzodinma’s administration could compare with his own performance as governor.
According to the former governor, he does not need to engage in a direct assessment of Uzodinma’s administration, as the people of Imo State should be in a better position to evaluate what is happening under the current government.
He maintained that his achievements would speak for themselves and challenged anyone interested in comparing both administrations to examine his record.
Okorocha said, “He can’t beat my record, he can’t even get close to it, not one hundred of my records, and it will speak loud for itself.
“So why are we talking about Hope Uzodinma? Hope, governance and administration in Imo State is something you should go round and ask him what’s happening because I will not tell you anything here and you will believe me.
“But go and ask about my record, don’t even compare because what is important to me now is how Asiwaju will be re-elected in Imo State. It’s possible, and with my name coming on the ballot paper, Asiwaju can be sure that his victory is given in Imo State.”
The former governor also declared that his immediate political priority was securing President Bola Tinubu’s re-election, particularly in Imo State.
He expressed confidence that Tinubu could record a decisive victory in the state, suggesting that his own participation in the election would significantly strengthen the President’s chances.
Okorocha’s comments come amid renewed political exchanges involving him and Governor Uzodinma, particularly following the recent dispute over the All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial primary for Imo West.
