The Federal Government may be forced to declare a State of Emergency in Imo State and appoint a Sole Administrator if no governorship aspirant comes out to succeed Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State in an electoral contest for fear of underperformance and consequently stoned by the people.
Okorocha was quoted as saying his achievements in Imo could not be broken by any of his successors adding that his successor runs the risk of being stoned by Imo people.
This has heightened fears among the various contenders for Imo State plum job for the likely mob action that may follow for their inability to surpass Okorocha's achievements.
He said for any incoming Governor to have any impact on the people of the state the governor must work hard to beat his achievements which he said remain unparalleled or would incur the peoples' wrath and be stoned out of office.
He made the disclosure while speaking to State House correspondents in Abuja on Friday.
He said, “I am in this job not for the profit of it but for the honour and glory of the job. So I want to leave a legacy. I want Imo people to miss me and they will definitely miss me. Believe you me they have not seen such developmental work before now and they will miss it.
“The only problem I have is that anybody that comes after me and does not perform will be stoned. Because you cannot come to Imo State now and say you want to abolish free education from primary to university, they will not accept. I have spoilt Imo people believe me.
“You cannot come to Imo State and say you want to give them a single lane road when they are now used to eight lane road in the city, they won’t accept it. You cannot come here and tell the children to go to schools where the floors are not tiled they will not accept because all the schools have been rebuilt. I have rebuilt 450 schools.”
On the health sector, he said, “You can no longer take them to those ramshackle hospitals, those shanties they called hospitals because I have built 27 to 200 bed general hospitals. You can no longer tell them those stories. All the infrastructures are there.
“You cannot tell them that there are criminal activities anymore and that your hands are tied they will not accept it because we know where we brought Imo from, from unsafe place to a safe place right now. And you can no longer tell our workers to dress shabbily they will not, they will want to dress in their suits and tie and white shirts. So Imo has changed believe me.”
Giving himself pass mark, he said, “I stand to be challenged and corrected by anybody that what we have done in Imo State in six years can be comparable to what any governor in that state living or dead has done.
“And if we put all of them together, I can’t say whether they can match what we have done. Have you seen me sounding boisterous? That is the truth. But the point is I don’t make media noise, I don’t make foundation laying stones Programme, I don’t bring women to dance because I want to lay foundation project. I don’t commission projects because for me it doesn’t make sense.
