The South-East Governors’ Forum has waded in to the feud between the Nigeria’s Former Governor of Imo State Senator Rochas Okorocha and his successor, Hope Uzodinma.
Senator Okorocha was Sunday arrested by the police for allegedly unlocking the Royal Spring Palm Hotel, belonging to his wife. He has since been released from the police headquarters on Sunday night, according to the police spokesperson in Imo, Ikeokwu Orlando and Senator Okorocha’s personal aide, Ebere Nzewuji.
However, the Chairman of the forum, David Umahi, in a statement signed by his media aide, Francis Nwaze, on Monday, said that the forum was “already handling the issue” between Senator Okorocha and Governor Hope Uzodinma.
The statement reads “South-East leaders are capable of settling their disputes internally instead of washing their linen in public.
“We sue for calm among the supporters of both leaders to ensure a timely and armicable resolution of the disagreement”
As such, Mr Umahi has urged Imo residents to conduct their businesses peacefully and in accordance with the law adding that “They should also shun provocative statements as we work towards restoring normalcy to the situation”
