Aides to Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State and his predecessor, Rochas Okorocha, have clashed again over the seizure of some properties belonging to the ex-governor by the state government.
However, Okorocha’s spokesperson, Sam Onwuemeodo, said Uzodinma would not win what he called an “attrition” war against the former governor.
According to Onwuemeodo, the interim court injunction, ordering the forfeiture of Okorocha’s properties would not stand.
In a statement on Friday, Onwuemeodo said the court order issued by Justice Fred Njemanze of the state High Court was “deceitful.”
Onwuemeodo alleged that the jurist was deceived by the state Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Cyprian Akaolisa, into granting the order.
