The Imo State chapter of the People’s Democratic Party, the PDP, related the bad roads in the state to what it called “Chief Rochas Okoroch’s hostility” to the people of the state.

The PDP made the comment, emphasizing that the road networks of Okorocha, the former governor of the state, had been poorly developed.

In a statement by its state Publicity Secretary, Damian Oparah, the party lamented that there is hardly any state capital with worse roads than Owerri, the Imo State capital.

The statement reads: “The PDP has noted the difficulty experienced by drivers and commuters in the state capital, owing to the poor state of roads in Owerri and by extension the entire state, caused by substandard and poor construction of these roads by the former Governor, Rochas Okorocha.

“The party saw it before time and by our series of publications, we condemned in strongest terms, the inferior road constructions and rehabilitation done by Rochas Okorocha administration, but some persons took our candid advice and patriotism as playing opposition to Okorocha’s administration.

“What made it very unfortunate and cruel, is that in less than six months after Okorocha’s tenure, the roads in Owerri have been washed away and decorated with potholes, making driving in the state capital an unpleasant experience and a strenuous activity.”

The party stated that no reputable construction company was engaged by Okorocha to work on these roads, adding that, “what we have as roads in Owerri is heaven, compared to the roads in the rural communities”.

“Traveling from Owerri to Mbaise or Owerri to Orlu is a sure way to have a bad day. It’s never been so bad for Imo citizens and residents. Okorocha knowingly inflicted the wickedness of the highest magnitude on the Imolites,” the spokesman added.
