According to him, the people for Orlu zone of the State has had several turn as governor and should allow the Owerri area of the state to benefit.
He said this barely 24 hours after some Imo elders endorsed Governor Hope Uzodimma for a second term.
While faulting the decision in an interview of Channels TV on Wednesday, the Igbo elder statesman said, “Achike Udenwa, an Orlu man was elected governor of the state in line with the charter of Equity in 1999 to 2007, Rochas Okorocha, another Orlu man got elected into office as governor in 2011 and stayed till 2019 before the present Governor Hope Uzodinma also an Orlu son took over and he is completing his first four years in office.”
“Those suggesting an Orlu person continue after 20 years in office do not have the interest of the state at heart.”
