Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo state has lamented the closure of the state’s account by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for the past three months.
Okorocha said that the action of the anti graft agency has crippled the activities of his administration.
Speaking when President Muhammadu Buhari commissioned some projects in the State on Thursday, the governor said that despite his laudable achievements in the state, his detractors are still bent on rubbishing his accomplishments.
The governor said that he has more than 1,000 projects to his credit, adding that if he were to commission all the projects, he won’t be able to so do in one year.
According to him, he had been unjustly treated by the party he devoted his life and energy to, stressing that the height of it was the denial of his certificate of return by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)
The president was represented by the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, said that Okorocha has raised the bar in governance.
He said that Okorocha’s achievements in Imo state had shown that states could accomplish much without recourse to the Federal Government.
Among the projects commissioned were the Imo Cargo International Airport, the ultra modern new police headquarters and the Mother and Child Hospital.
The Vice President was in Owerri earlier in the week where he also commissioned some projects.
