Is this a deliberate attempt to impoverish the good and hardworking people of Imo State?- Ex gov Ikedi Ohakim opens up on Imo state.

In his post ex governor of Imo state Chief Ikedi Ohakim lamented about the situation in Imo state, poor sanitary condition as well as declining economic activities in the state.Read his post plus pictures posted below.......

Why did Somtochukwu have to die? Why was Eke Ukwu demolished? Why was New Market Plaza and shops demolished? Why was Douglas Road barricaded and blocked for months now causing untold hardship to residents and motorists? Why were the drainage system destroyed and abandoned? Where are the refuse disposal units I left behind?

I drove through a drivable section of Douglas Road the other day through Emmanuel College and I wept for the soul of that young promising boy and for millions of Imolites who were forced into hardship and back to their villages following the callous and deliberate attack on the economy of the common man. Why then did all this happen only to be abandoned over a year after? Is this a deliberate attempt to impoverish the good and hardworking people of Imo State? I can't make any other meaning out of it. 

I passed through the few shops that opened along the road and saw no activity. Many others have long closed up shop. The center of the road has now become an unorganized Eke Ukwu with mountains of refuse everywhere threatening to unleash a medical epidemic on the people of Imo State and beyond. What is the real aim for the destruction of the commercial hub of Owerri Capital? Why was an innocent blood shed? Indeed evil has befallen our land. Our beautiful, Clean and Green Imo is dark, dirty and broken.

The drainages were destroyed and abandoned, refuse heap have become the new decoration, this was not the Clean, Green and Healthy Imo State I left behind. (attached pictures of Douglas road today and even worse. Photo credit: Irobi Darlington) 

"2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV) If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

Knowingly or unknowingly we may have made mistakes in the past. We may have attracted the anger of God in ignorance. Let us seek God's face and let Him take back center stage in the affairs of Imo State. Join me umu nnem, let us reclaim our land.
