Former Imo West Senator Rochas Okorocha has publicly challenged the administration of incumbent Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma, asserting that his own gubernatorial record remains unmatched in the state. Speaking during a television appearance, Okorocha dismissed the current administration's impact and stated that his past achievements would speak for themselves.

During the media interview, Okorocha remarked that his successor could not come close to the governance standards he established while in office. He suggested that observers should evaluate the current state of governance in Imo by inspecting conditions on the ground rather than relying solely on political rhetoric.

Beyond addressing state-level politics, Okorocha outlined his current political priorities, stating that his primary focus is ensuring President Bola Tinubu secures a substantial majority of votes in Imo State. He expressed confidence that his political influence would help guarantee a strong electoral outcome for the federal administration.

Okorocha also reaffirmed his commitment to the ruling party, noting his foundational role in its creation and dismissing any notion that he would leave the political platform due to local disagreements with the current state leadership.
