The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the just concluded governorship election in Imo State, Hope Uzodinma, has told the Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha, that the losses he suffered at the polls in Imo was God’s way of punishing him for the sins committed against the state and humanity.
He also told the governor to hide his face in shame for failing to win a senatorial seat rather than blaming him and the leadership of the APC for his failure to get his son-in-law into the government house Owerri.
Uzodinma, who was reacting to the comments allegedly made by Okorocha that the APC failed to win the Imo governorship election due to his candidacy, reminded the governor that even as ‘a sitting governor’ he could not win a senatorial election, without resorting to the use of force to compel the Returning Officer to announce him winner under duress.
In a statement by Uzodinma, he noted that if Okorocha dared to walk the streets of Owerri and other parts of the state, Imolites would stone him and advised him to accept his burial politically.

The statement read: “I thought by now Okorocha should be hiding his face in shame after he lost his bid to install his son-in-law and win his senatorial election. Despite all the billions he spent to stop the APC and I in the state, but from the results of the polling units I won the election and we will prove it.
“But Okorocha has lost his deposit and he is finished politically. He is an expert in running people down, but God has punished him today. This same man worked against the APC and has the gut to speak about others. I challenge Okorocha for a walk in the streets of Owerri if Imo people will not stone him.
“Thank God all his conspiracy against us has ended and he has buried himself politically. I expect that by now he should be apologising to the people of Imo State for the crime he committed against God and humanity. I will reclaim my mandate which Okorocha and Ihedioha stole last weekend and then I will have something to tell Okorocha.”
