The Imo state government has condemned a recent comparism between Anambra state and Imo state.

The chief press secretary to the Imo state governor Rochas Okorocha said it is only a clueless person that cannot make such mistake.

Sam Onwuemeodo said: “To say the least, comparing Okorocha with Obiano is like comparing Messi of Barcelona FC with the left wing player of Mberi Secondary in Mbaitoli LGA of Imo State.”

Onwuemeodo who spoke to journalists in Owerri said his principal is superior in governance and leadership than Obiano.

He also said in the South-East region the level of development in Imo state surpasses those in Anambra state.

He also said that Obiano is unfit to rule a state like Anambra with its stirring political history.

He further pointed out achievements of Governor Okorocha in business, economy and politics which has put him head and shoulder above Obiano.

He said: “That kind of motor park language was unexpected from a governor of a state who answers His Excellency, even when the Anambra governor did not explain what he meant by that.

“In what way was Governor Okorocha not an example of what a leader should be?

“Governor Okorocha’s claim was a healthy one, expected to provoke sound debates, which is the beauty of democracy. Governors with ideas and the right exposure gave their polite reactions, but the one without ideas (Obiano) took to insults.

“Leadership is all about ideas and service. Luckily enough, Obiano has been governor for almost four years while Okorocha has also been governor for five years now.

Let Obiano publish his achievements in Anambra State even with high IGR, and let Governor Okorocha also publish his achievements in Imo. Then, we take off from there.

As governor, Owelle Okorocha came up with ideas and popular policies like free education at all levels which has been working well in Imo, Community Government Councils (CGC), urban renewal programme, Ikuola Nkwu, Imo Air, massive road networks, building of universities, infrastructural revolution, and so many others.

Let Governor Obiano mention at least one programme his government in Anambra State is known for, almost four years as governor.

“We may at this point, challenge journalists from the South-East to embark on project tours of Imo and Anambra and make their findings known to the public. Obiano, no doubt, has taken Anambra State several kilometres backward, while in Imo, Okorocha has raised the bar of leadership or governance.
