The Senator representing Imo West, Rochas Okorocha, has described those initiating his recall from the Senate as “political undertakers”.
Okorocha, in a statement issued by his Spokesperson, Sam Onwuemeodo, in Owerri, the state capital, on Wednesday, said members of the group, Orlu Political Consecutive Assembly, were behind the recall move.
Okorocha, a former governor of the state, accused his successor, Hope Uzodinma, of giving the Orlu group N1bn for his recall, adding that the governor should have used the said money to offset arrears of salaries and pensions in the state.
The senator also said that his political relevance could not be watered down by the state government officials no matter how hard they tried.
